Hi Peter,
Thank you again for your offer to help.  I very much appreciate it.
The current data base I have contains no fields for inventory totals at the
moment. In fact, when I started it I had never done a data base. But now,
with nearly 6,200 entries already added and atleast 3000-5000 more to add it
seems a shame not to adapt this one if possible. At present it is a single
table db. The fields are, and typical entries might look like this:

Disc / Catalog #   / Color-Size# / Color-Description /      Size         /
Product Description      / QtyPerPkg  / Price
blank/  8035       /   blank     / Sapphire          / 6 yd x 4 inch     /
Cord-Paper Twist-Metallic/      1     / 2.99
blank/  A 1224     / R03         / Brown hair        / 11 1/2 inch       /
Doll-Full-long hair      /      1     / 3.25
 x   / B 051289    /  C50        / Green             / 28mm-2 1/2 hole   /
Bead-Wooden              /      50    / 11.99

There are no primary keys set because while there will always be a cat#
there will not always be a color #, but if there is a color# then the cat#
will be the same.  The first column is simply to tell us that the item has
been discontinued, can't order any more of them.

I want to be able to look at a given item and see how many are on hand.  I
am assuming this would mean that I need to invoice a customer from Access to
accurately reduce inventory totals, which is fine with me because that means
I don't have to duplicate my work.  And I would have to increase my
inventory totals when a shipment comes in from any of various suppliers.

The business is a mail order craft supply.  Ideally, I would like to include
fields/table for who we purchase a given item from, to simplify reordering.



Thank you again for your offer.  I do so appreciate it.
Take care,
Pam
