let me recommend a wonderful tool for you for inventory... a counting scale... :-) I just bought one, because I'm going through the same thing (with Peachtree Accounting.)

Get one that has a .01gram accuracy. I got mine (iWeigh 201) for $99 (plus $10 shipping) at rightonscales.com. Wonderful alternative to counting jump rings... and crimp beads... and 2mm things.... :-)

oHaus also makes very good ones, but pricier. If you do a search, they're called counting scales.

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Karin Cernik :

darn! mine only goes to 0.1. but you're right - i could be weighing some of this stuff and multiplying/dividing.

DUH! [smacks side of head]

Get a counting scale, you don't even have to multiply/divide. You put a fixed number of the items on the scale (10-25 usually), then weigh, then you put the rest on and it will tell you how many there are. :-)

But you do need the .01 accuracy if you're going to do small things like jump rings.
