DerekM and Arild,

I am very (much too) familiar with using FileMaker to organize my life. The problems with Filemaker are that (a) the structure of the file is completely determined, if you want to change one thing, you have to change everything, but more important (b) FileMaker just doesn't play well with Macintosh--records are not accessible by Spotlight, and no other program can peer into a FileMaker database to interrogate it (unless you write database queries), and (c) even if you live with these limitations, creating a "Global Search" for all values of all fields becomes a programming exercise instead of just being there.

I am currently thinking of creating rtf (and/or rtfd) files in a directory and indexing them in DevonThink, which may be the easiest and fastest solution.

Thank you

A
