I, too, use FileMaker Pro (the MAC version) and couldn't imagine keeping
records without it. I set up several files at UT Austin for inventory,
service records,  parts ordering, etc., using FM Pro. I also use it at home
for my private clients, and have also set up scheduling, Accounts
Receivable/Payable, and a general daily ledger for my piano business.

BTW, Claris says that FM Pro willbe released as a relational database
sometime this summer, thus improving its versatility. I'm not sure if the
Windows version will be relational, but I know the MAC version is.

It's a great data base program!

Good luck!
