This has been discussed - and in fact done for earlier versions. The problem is that it is unwieldy. There are too many records (near 200) and about 100 fields for each! Besides, you loose the functionality of some scripts that are built in to the database. For example, a simple drop-down menu command can bring up all the Hahnemuhle papers with all their different names, sources and prices. Another, may bring up all the papers by any one of a number of distributors. Etc. If you have an Acrobat Distiller and are willing to do this, I can upload an eps version and let you play. You have now been warned! <BG> Before others ask: yes, I can export in other formats, and yes, you can import into Excel and Access and what-have-you, but it just isn't as functional and it is a lot of work on your part to keep up with the updates and re-importing. I would be happy to upload any format requested, if you feel otherwise. And, no, I don't work for FileMaker or what used to be Claris. And, no, for the moment, I am not willing to buy the developers version and create a stand alone app, not so much because of cost as because of time, or severe lack thereof!!!. Antonis
