Thanks Will and Brian for your quick responses.
I already started using the addresses for things like bank account and
insurance information. But then I got stuck trying to figure a way
to use it
for something like hardware inventory. Granted, I could create a
record for
each peice of HW or just manufacturer, then add the necessary fields.
However, that seem like a real kludge.
Notes didn't seem to fit as I was looking for something tabular,
and not just
a block of data. The infolog is a great tool, but there is a lot of
extra
stuff that makes it cumbersome to work with (in this content). Also
it seems
like a kludge.
What I was thinking about was a module where you had a table with,
say, 20
fields of various types (a few data fields, a few char fields, a
few tiny
text, a couple of text and so forth). A second table would define a
kind of
"virtual table". For example, it would contain N+2 fields, with the
virtual
table name and a description, plus the names of the fields within
the virtual
table. (Perhaps it would need some extra fields, but that's the
basic idea)
Well, if there is no such thing, I guess I will have to write it
myself.

Hello,
Infolog has the ability to store notes, and I use it to record all
kinds of information.

Hi All!
I was wondering if there was a phpgw module for general information
management. For example, I want to store information about:
- insurance policies
- hardware (configuration, warranty)
- CDs and albums
- etc.
Is there such a beast?
Regards,
Jim Mohr
