Databases.Txt

In response to Bill Sawrey's dismay at FileMaker Pro, I post the replies I received last week. I requested some information on databases for storing information concerning the maps, diagrams & drawings we produce. Thanks for all the replies folks - they don't reach any real conclusion though. From the replies, and talking to a few fellow cartographers over here, FileMaker Pro seems favorite, but sometimes I almost feel that it was easier in the days of drafting film & pens ... Apologies in advance for the length of this posting, Graham Message from Stuart Greenfield >I'd highly recommend FileMaker Pro. It's easy to setup and modify.

Setting up reports is also excellent.
