We likewise have four of our biological databases (birds, mammals, 
paleobiology, and plants) online via FileMaker Pro.  Again, these are 
abbreviated copies of the original databases and withhold sensitive data 
and details not necessary for the web viewer.  Since we are using one of 
the Museum's computers as the server, availability is limited to working 
hours (which--surprise--are greater than 40 hours per week).

Cheers,

Art Harris
