If you include "old accession numbers" in one field, it would seem that spaces separating the field numbers would suffice. We converted our Q&A fields over to Filemaker Pro using the Translator. There were so many easier ways to search in Filemaker Pro, that we had to change some of our strategies. It was easy to convert using one-time scripting. The one advantage that Filemaker Pro has is that it will locate information anywhere in that field. If you are accurate about placing all the old accession numbers in the field with spaces in between, it should be able to locate them on a find. For those of you interested in the future of Filemaker Pro. Claris has just announced a new version, 3.0, which will be out soon and promises a fully relational database. With Filemaker's advantage of inputting sound, pictures, and quicktime; you can include photos and quicktime videos of three dimensional objects. The only problem is how much space photos take.
