Filemaker 3.0 from CLARIS is cheap and easy to learn and you can design and create it yourself,with anything that suits you ... at last guess approx $250 Aus. I use it for my slides as a database and also to print out labels. It is now relational and very powerful, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of records. It can handle digital images. Get a hold of the instructional video as this makes it clear. It has a strong user base.Ciao
