Thanks Jennifer, I have done some conditional formatting in the past so it should not be that hard for me to play with.

I found another way to trigger the color change, you can try this if you like. It worked for me.:)

Kris

OK, so strictly if due date is in the next calendar month. Could even be up to 61 days away... Due 5/31, it should be triggered beginning 4/1 - 61 days.

And it should stay colored beyond due date until a new due date is entered?

Say Due date is in B1
Select B1
Click Format - Conditional Formatting
Select "Value Is"
Select "Less Than Or Equal To"
Enter this formula

=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,0)

Click Format
Click Patterns
Select the color you like
Click OK
Click OK

Reference GagePack:

Pros - No hardware security device. I've had nothing but heartache with the plug-in security devices. Easy to use interface, mimics windows. Low training investment. Incredibly stable. I've never had a problem (2+ years).

Cons - Cost. Access costs development time which some companies (my current one included) consider free. Layout for the GagePack setup is less that $1k.

Again, just my observations.

We have about 1,000 gages. We've used Gagetrak for several years. It provides everything I need to show objective evidence to auditors. It's flexible, prints calibration labels, does Gage R&Rs and has other features.

Before that we used a Paradox relational database we developed, but it wasn't user friendly.

We're a commercial calibration lab and we have been using GageInSite for a little over two years. It is manufactured by IndySoft.

It's great for tracking equipment.... handles storage of calibration procedures and actual calibration process.....generating certificates which are completely formattable to meet quality requirements of your company.....it also handles calibration costs and time needed......stores all vendor information if you are sending any gauges out as well as past costs per specific vendors....... generates and tracks work orders for gauges that require servicing.....generates invoices for commercial work performed to be billed to your customer.....and much more.

I haven't had any major problems at all with the software and the support staff is very good at prompt fixes for any problems that may arise.

IndySoft was very good about demonstrating the capabilities of the software via a web-session before we made a decision. It's pretty much completely editable to only handle what your company needs.

Thanks for your help everyone, I had the company purchase the program I mentioned initially and am actually glad I did so far.

It is easy to use and their customer support is outstanding. You can download it right after purchase so there was no waiting.

I had some trouble with the email notifications because my system is '07' but they communicated with me in under 24 hours with help.
(how often do you get that?) :applause:

For the scale of my calibration requirements I think this will be easy to manage and add to when necessary.

I'll let you know if I find anything ugly with it so you'll be informed.

Thanks again! Ree

scheduling calibration events

Something else to consider with regards to scheduling calibration is to make use of the MS Outlook Calendar feature. Just set up a brand new calendar for either equipment preventive maintenance & calibration purposes and add there any information regarding scheduling activities/events for the current year, recurrences for ~10 yrs, monthly, etc. Then share this equipment PM/calibration calendar w/ relevant users which you can decide to give them only-reader access or full access. :2cents:

Here is a very simple relational database in Microsoft Access. This database, along with the calibration certificates from an 17025 accredited calibration supplier, have passed a 3 year cycle of TS16949 audits. No findings.

Instructions included.

Enjoy.
Does Icy Mountain have a newer version (Access 2007) I downloaded the one here and it wouldn't convert it from the older version
