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!!!.
