Dear all:
We have tried  Microsoft Access/Frontpage, Filemaker/Claris Home Page,
Cumulus, and ReDiscovery for our archives and  photograph collection. They
each do fine for parts of our needs  application, some problems encountered
with each.  We also are preparing our collections for web access and on-line
(intranet only) ordering.  We are cross-platform, with (2,700) employees..
.... a non-profit applied engineering & science R&D organization.
