Kathy, we thought of this, but we want something already configured to do this. We are already stretched, capacity-wise, and just don't have the time. Thanks.

The databse could contain the approved vendors, part number, designators, notes, etc. Then a query could be made to look up the designator and go to the record or you could make a customized report. If the BOM is sent or can be put into the proper format the data could be imported an minimize the data entry task.
