7. The Lab Manager can obtain a hard copy of the MSDS inventory by selecting “Search
MSDS” (of a particular Department) on the main page of the inventory website and, then,
selecting “Chem” from the drop-down menu on the Search MSDS page. Once the computer
has finished searching for all chemicals in that inventory, it will indicate “Total matches
found: xxxx (or a certain number over 1000, at least) - Too many to display here. Click here
to download the file so you can open it in Excel.” Click there to download the file into Excel.
Click on this link and save the file in the Excel folder under Userdata. Replace old/existing
files with the same name when asked to do so while downloading the updated inventory file.
Now the full MSDS inventory can be viewed in Excel format, and printed if necessary. The
Lab Manager can also get hardcopies of any shorter Faculty Group chemical inventory the
same way, when listing any such inventory which happens to be over 1000 entries in size. The
database system apparently cannot list overly large inventories, and they must be downloaded
into an Excel file.
