Like I 
have not tried to accomplish what I want using 
Access..:-))))

The 
point is, I want to have a multi-column catalog, and I could not have a multi 
column report with Access.

Subject: Re: Help 
  with creating a catalog from a database

  >>>I have some images in the filesystem, and an access database of 
  these
images. 
The database holds the place of the image and some other 
  specifications of
the image like price, etc. etc.
I want to create a 
  catalog using something like a mail-merge from these
data.

I tried 
  MS publisher, but it seems very lousy at the least; reminded me of
s/w of 
  two decades ago. I know thera are some cataloging s/w, but I need
something 
  that can read data from MS Acess or Excel or csv.>>>

  Simple and easy. Perhaps not the best way, but you already have the tools. 
  I will assume that you have a copy of Access. Try creating an Access report. 
  You can design the report to look like a nicely formatted catalog page.
