Hi Robert: Are you an experienced Web Programmer? If so, using Microsoft Visual Web Developer, Visual Basic and Sql Server is one way to do something like that. The other way is to use something like MySql, PHP and some development IDE. If you are not a Web Programmer and have no DataBase Experience it may take time to get up to speed building a WebSite with a DataBase but it is certainly doable. Perhaps, if you have no experience and the context is of interest to someone on list, they might have another suggestion about storage and making your data available to the Educational community.

These are images that when printed on capsule paper will produce tactile images. The idea is that a teacher or parent could look through the list, select a file and then place an order to have it printed. It has been suggested to me that I use a database for this sort of operation. I do have an Excel spreadsheet with descriptive information about each file. I am looking for suggestions regarding what database would be good to use. Thank you. Regards, Robert Jaquiss
