Can I use the database functions of the Lotus notes client app, to track other things, like inventory??

I think that the answer is “maybe” or “it depends.” Realtime? How many transactions per second/minute? Lots of follow up questions to a post like yours.

I am wanting to develop a database to track inventory across three business units. Shouldn’t really be a lot of traffic. it would be a collaborative effort between 4-7 users

Subject: Yes you can

I am just finishing up a workflow application that tracks over 15,000 pieces of accountable property, manages workflow for dispositions, transfers, losses/thefts, and inventory checkout.

It does, however, use Oracle to store the data in the back end. This was intentional so that Notes could handle the workflow processes. I could have easily stored the data in Notes as well.

This link from the Sandbox will provide you with some ideas:

Notes would be great for this, I worked on a returns app for harware and it worked great. With that amount of users you shouldn’t get any problems, watch out for replication or save conflicts, but like I say with that many users it shoudn’t be a problem.
