Hi All, I find that the latest thread on this list serve has been one of the more ones interesting of late. I would support Richard Urban's call to broaden the scope beyond Filemaker, mostly because I've used Microsoft Access for our collections management database application.
I am particular intrigued with the comment Deborah Diemente made concerning the switch from ARGUS to applications using generic database software. Is there a trend towards abandoning proprietary collections management software? And why was Filwmaker chosen and not Access?
