You could then use the filters in Access to search for your criteria, and pull up the file(.jpg?). I'm not familiar with any out-of-the-box program for this task, but it would be pretty easy to write a front end for it(in VB, or C++, or even in Java). If there is not currently a product, just out of curiousity, how many out there would be interested in such a product? What would you pay for this program? PC-based, or MAC? I have a few co-workers that I'm sure wouldn't mind making one and selling it, if there were a market. Ahh, the wheels are turning. All proceeds would go to the purchase of new leica gear, of course. Seriously, if anyone out there is interested, please let me know. I'm looking for some side work. - -Paul >From: "D.
