The easiest way would probably to just set up a db with a front-end that you can click a button once a month and spit out a calibration due listing. MS Access or Open Office Base.

Greg,

I would suggest you post this request at -

Greg, Send me an email with what you need/want as data in the table and I'll see if I can do something in base this weekend, provided I get time.

Tony I spoke to the Technician for the company that does the calibrations we don't handle ourselves and was surprised to hear that 90% of the machine shops he visits use index cards to record thier calibrations. He is coming in to do the surface plate, hardness testers and the chart recorderes on the Heat Treating ovens. We also do a load cell we use for testing of light poles and trafic arms. Some day I am gonna gett me one of dem dare data loggers.

Thank You for the offer I will send along an email.

Greg

Index cards have worked fine for a long time. Just index the cards by the month the next inspection is due and when it comes to the top, do the inspection. Very simple and efficient with no programming involved other than putting month dates on the index tabs. I always keep a master index of what was done each month.
