Does anyone have experience with audiovisual databases?  I want to store and
archive digital video, audio and image files.  I need to be able to assign
keywords to these digital files and perform searches.  I need to be able to
link the actual file to the database so that the user could view the file.
This program would reside on a server for internal LAN use.  I am looking
for, if I can find it, a commercially available product that would need
little-to-no extra customizing by a programmer.  I am playing around with
Access, but I would need a lot of extra help customizing it for our needs-
with user-interface screens, etc. I am not interested in the high-end
expensive programs like "ImageAXS Pro" or "EmbARK", that a TV Network or
government agency would need.  Any ideas?  Thanks.
