Hi...

I maintain 4 switches (shared tenant) in 4 buildings, and have about 1600
did numbers to keep track of. Companies are always coming and going.

Can anyone suggest a simple database (other than fumbling around with
Access) that will let me keep track of things/sort on a per extension (4
digit), per company, per building basis, date history of when installed,
disconnected, notes as to the line equipment, house pair, etc. Windows
based, of course.

Thanks in advance!

Well - since you're so dead set against Access you're going to have to
use open source.

The database should be built in MySQL (Runs on Windwos, Linux, etc.)

If you want to make it truly accesible and portable you'll need to learn
PHP and then build an apache web server being certain to compile it with
PHP support.

But then you could do an Access db. The beauty of Access is that the
data doesn't necessarily have to live in Access. You can link tables
from things like MySQL using their ODBC connector. The other beautiful
thing about Access is there are several ways to do things. One can be
table/query/macro based, the other can use table/query/VBA (My prefered
method)

If you need help with any of the above contact me.
