Another thing Filemaker Pro does is to enable generation of labels for one's
collection from the database, I believe?

> Another programme that is generally easy to use to set up your own
cataloguing system for collections is Filemaker Pro. There are already
solutions as templates which can be purchased for collection management in
US, and some Museum collections use Filemaker for their documentation. It is
a cross platform product (those of you who use Mac's will be aware that
Access is not available for Macs!). It is really easy to design your own
flatfile database in Filemaker Pro (my mother did her own garden plants
database at the age of 68, never having used a database before in her life).
Making it relational takes a bit more thought! If you have Appleworks then
you have a cut down version of the original database which would work for
simple solutions.
