We've been using ImageAXSPro to set up an image server for the campus. I was disappointed to learn that the web export feature of ImageAXS Pro permits searching, but only on keywords--not on the information entered in the fields (such as artist name, title, location of object). However, the tech support people at Digital Arts have been very helpful in assisting me to write some routines to go into the Access database that runs ImageAXS and copy the terms that we want people to be able to search by from the various fields to the keywords. I haven't done that yet, but the procedure seems sound.On the other hand, we may decide to just go for broke and buy Embark and transfer the ImageAXS database into Embark; decision not yet made. w
