Bob's correct. If the 
data can be entered into Access, any report you want can be generated however, I 
personally feel the reports section is the hardest part of Access to work with. 
It can be very frustrating if you haven't been forced to learn how to get it 
under control like I was. 

If your database is 
smaller than say 2 meg you can email it to me along with details of what you 
want the report to look like and I'll create it for you and email it 
back. If your database is larger than 2 meg then just save the table 
format(s) to another empty database and email me that.

  Catalogs and Access

  >>>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.>>>

  Wrong, it is relatively 
  easy to do. Well, how easy it is perhaps depends upon your Access skills. 
  If you are using an Access database, you 
  can also export data to html or to Excel. 

  Access is exceedingly 
  versatile and I really cannot see a problem doing what you need to 
  do.

  You might try using an 
  Access Wizard and build the basic photo collection dB MS provides. then modify 
  it as you see fit. Try running the "Northwind" database to see how reports are 
  done and how images can be attached to each record.

  Luck to 
  you,

  Bob
