We use FileMaker Pro, though it's probably a bit of overkill for you. It
can handle good-sized databases (our Paleobiology database has well over
38,000 on it)--what it can't handle unless you go to the FM server is
more than five viewers at a time (which I think is what Randy was
getting at).
Cheers,
Art
