    Did I misundrstand the question, you are looking for software that tracks a device??

    I think the idea was to find software that tracked issues to resolution (broken printer until it's repaired, customer complaint until resolved, etc.) Kinda like bug tracking for the rest of the World. It wasn't about finding things.

    Oh I see, thought you they were on about some complicated devices etc. I suppose you could write an app that uploads a file to a server that manages that complaints/problems. You could have something like this for putting it on server if you have an ASP.NET page: My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("c:\File.txt", "http://www.someserver.com/upload.aspx")

      Kind Cryptic. I don't know what it is either and I've spent a fair amount of time looking at ALM, Issue management and Bug Tracking systems. Care to fill us in? ;)

      Kinda off topic, but the GPS reference and the MVP summit next week brought back memories of my first ever GPS experience. It was when you picked me up from the W (sometime in early 2004 I think). I had never seen one before and remember being very impressed by it. If my memory is right it was a Ford Taurus fitted with a Hertz GPS (probably Magellan).

        Kayako[^]looks impressive. I played for a week with their demo, and I will sign up for the hosted version one of this days. One nice thing is that the price is fixed, no matter how many users/technicians you have.

          TestTrack can be used for any kind of workflow/issue tracking. I'm trying to push for its use by manufacturing, sales and the RMA group.

            If I get a flat tire and need IT to come fix or if I issue a ticket at lunch for a pizza it might be cheaper for them to go pick it up for me. GPS might be valuable in some cases yes.

            You can easily build one with MS access. use a hdr table and detail table to store issue status. Access can maintain form/subform relationship. Reg, Sankar

              I'd recommend Trac. It's based on Python. There's a bit of config required but it's a very good system. You can get it here: http://trac.edgewall.org/[^]

                  Trac is a free, open source enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects and it fits the bill. It's a bit of a pain in the ass to install, but once you've managed to get it installed it works well: http://trac.edgewall.org/[^]

                  It's turtles all the way down.

                        We use TestTrack extensively for issue tracking, bug tracking, enhancement requests, et al... More than 500,000 tracked :-) Does it not work for you for issues? aarfb

                          As an IT manager a couple of years ago, I bought TrackIT (www.NumaraSoftware.com) and used it to track company-wide issues. They may have a free version. Not sure. You may want to look at BugZilla (http://www.bugzilla.org). Its name implies it is for tracking software defects, but you can use it to track IT issues just as well.

                            Trac - open source and runs just about anywhere. It might be worth a look. http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindows[^]

                              It gets very expensive though. I think we spent 10K+ just for our dev team.
