Hi, Our sister museum, the University of Cambridge Museum of Zoology, uses File Maker Pro quite sucessfully. The Collections Manager there has built their entire collections management system on it (and he claims not to be a computer boffin {expert}). They have even set up a simple online query system based on File Maker Pro which can be found here: http://131.111.101.189/catalogue.htm Hope this helps.
