Walter, You might want to take a look a ProVUE's database program "Panorama." I have not used it under OS X, but the references below should give you a feel for its usefulness. FWIW I have used Panorama and its predecessor "OverVUE" since the early days of the Mac (1984). I've loved it. Personally, I preferred it over FileMaker. I don't know for sure regarding version 5, but previous versions have been cross-platform (Mac & Windows). And it runs under Classic as well. Panorama version V runs in Mac OS 8, 9 and X Here are some reviews of Panorama to give you an idea of what it is like: <http://www.provue.com/> TidBITS: Seeing the Light with Panorama <http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06641> ATPM 7.11 - Review: Panorama 4.01 <http://atpm.com/7.11/panorama.shtml> The Panorama users email list is also very helpful.
