Functionalities of the program: The proposed program is executed in the language Object Pascal [1, 2] and is designed to work under the operating system Windows. Choice is caused by a multiplicity of database management systems Dbase IV, convenience, both for the application developer, and for the common user. Availability of the opportunity of programming allows creating complex data processing systems designed for specific tasks. In writing this program downlink programming method is selected, information base is developed on the basis of dynamic tables.

Purpose and field properties of the table: Personal equipment number serves as a primary key that allows the access to any table line. Data Type - whole (Integer), length - 4 characters, possible values ​​- integers between 1 and above.

User Options menu: Using tab of the "File" menu it is possible to add an entry, browse the information on the hardware and software, change the information, search by name, factory and inventory number, send information to print, view the information on the table and leave the program (Fig. 1).

Tab “View” allows changing the database. Tab “Sorting” allows sorting the data by name, factory serial number and inventory number. Tab “About programme” contains information about the features of the program and its developer. In the main window there is a possibility to search equipment, view, add and delete a record.

Fig. 1. The main program window, “Accounting of appliances, equipment, computer hardware and software.”

Conclusion: Information database designed to optimize the process of monitoring the presence and place of storage of training equipment, computer hardware and software, timely repairs, upgrades, and ensuring laboratories. The program has a convenient user interface and allows creating, transmitting and storing informative electronic documentation.
