We use components of Object records of type 'accessory', as opposed to
'part of object'. That way we can move record dims etc about accessories
and move e.g. a painting and its dedicated transit frame together, or
independently.

Subject: Tracking crates in TMS


Dear all,

I've tried unsucessfully to send the following message (at least I
believe it didn't go through) as I didn't get any responses.  I'm hoping
to hear from all of you who use TMS to track object crates.

We would like to find a way to track object crates, associated object
housing, or mounts in TMS.  We are soliciting suggestions from other TMS
users who might have already found a successful way to use TMS for this
purpose.

Thanks for your advice.

Patricia
