NORTHWIND questions

Hi everyone
I am new to this and have tried to customize the northwind.mdb to my
company. My problem is that after an order is written the number of
items in stock does not get automatically updated i.e I have 6 pcs of
product a in stock and reorder level set at 2. I write an order for say
5 pieces of the item. Shouldn't I get a warning telling me that my
reorder level has been reached and update my product list units in stock
so after 5 are sold I am left with one? Is there a macro I need to run
so I can update my items in stock and get a list of items for which the
re-order level has been reached?
Thanks in advance

Northwind does not even try to update the quantity on hand.

Inventory tracking is a big question, and there is no simple answer.
