It still isn't clear whether you are talking about an e-commerce store where you ship products to customers or something more like a company stock room. Regardless, I agree with Roger and I'm also unaware of anything in the CF world that you can download that would meet your needs.
It is hard to answer your question without knowing what the requirements are. Most inventory management systems I have seen are specific to what is in the inventory, such as a computer equipment inventory system, or a book inventory system. Both MS Excel and MS Access have free inventory management templates. A pen and paper attached to a clipboard is a great inventory management system in some situations. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Roger Austin<raust...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > > ---- Arsalan Tariq Keen <arsalk...@hotmail.com> wrote: >> >> yes I did check RiaForge.org but couldn't find anything useful.
