Hi Bruce thanks a lot for the advice, but i can assure you am in love with
the sample database and i ried to modify it and is getting on my nerves.
something like purchase orders are done by clicking on a button from the
inventory list but i can see how they can be allocated and be available to be
sold. i will be glad if you can take me thru it a bit. i will inform you of
all the difficulties i am having then yo may help me turn it my own and use
it in a small business we are trying to set up thannx once again. Please any
other advice will be welcomed
Go ahead if it suits your needs. You may want to look on the Microsoft web
site for other templates, or maybe search online, if Northwinds does not meet
