Quite simple – Time.
Time could be spent on other things of greater importance to the university. We are looking for a ready built Access database that we could then fully customize. If you know of one great, otherwise your answer doesn’t help, but thanks kindly anyway.

Also reasonably simple – Requirements.
What do you want this database to do?

Have you looked at the ready-madeDB’s that come with Access, Video collection maybe?

This might be exactly what you are looking for. Check out this Freeware called SoftCat. http://www.fnprg.com/softcat/%5B/url%5D Not only is it free, but if you take a look at the Access database file used by the program, you’ll have a good set of tables on which you can base your own Software Inventory. You’ll want to add referential integrity, etc. but softcat is a good start for your own, or you may decide simply to use SoftCat.

FWIW
