I've been using Filemaker for years, through all its incarnations.  It
works extremely well for managing MIT's Permanent Collection of
contemporary art, which happens to be sited all throughout the Institute.
Actually, for me Filemaker was a dream-come-true, and it helped solve all
sorts of numbering and inventory problems as soon as I was up and running.
I would be happy to answer any questions people have - on the list or
directly.  Good luck!
