I'd like to add my vote for FileMaker Pro. I'm a choral director and find it to be very flexible, easy to use and able to do just about anything I can dream up.
One of the keys is what several have already mentioned about planning what info you need and how you're going to be using and entering it before you start actually setting up your database in FileMaker. My suggestion here is use more fields rather than fewer. Once you have the info entered you can search on any field.

Can someone give me some hints on how to do this, preferable on a Mac? I want something which is easy to maintain and where I can see how many string parts we have, perhaps also who borrows which part, etc. Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
