Access is much more suitable for your purpose. I looked at the link also. The system looks pretty comprehensive except that since it was built by an Australian company it doesn't deal with depreciation. I would talk to the authors. If the db is Access (looks like it might be) and you get the code, I think you could modify it to handle depreciation without too much trouble. You would need to add fields to the asset record to store useful life and PlacedInService and RemoveFromService dates. It's been a long time and I don't remember all the rules but you may need to also store the depreciation method. ![]() You could then add a table to store depreciation taken and run your calculations every January to append rows to the depreciation taken table. Then it's a simple matter of summing the depreciation taken records to know what to report and when to stop. I suggest storing the calculated results because the IRS changes the rules from time to time and you don't want to run into problems with having to maintain old and new calculations. ![]()
