Using FileMaker for this depends on whether you think $300 is inexpensive. Probably not, I would think. Anne,
The upside is it exactly fits your need. You can manage your data six ways to Sunday in the most user-friendly pro level database development environment in existence. It's a piece of cake to create PDFs too. Instant web publishing is possible and pretty easy, but you have to deal with how you are going to host it. If you are going to host it yourself you have to deal with server and router issues. You can hire a hosting company, alternatively, to put it on their servers. It's not expensive, but not cheap either. j.
