"just Filemaker Pro" ??

That is a great program.  The entire Proposal and Awards Data Base at
the University of Michigan runs on just Filemaker Pro.  We manage
4000 proposals and 2500 some awards per year with this system.  True,
the Accountants have PeopleSoft General Ledger and the two systems do
not communicate but for the purposes of the Grants Office, we are
excellently served by just Filemaker Pro on our 30 some Macs (why we
are not happy with Grants.gov right now).  The Accountants need to re-
enter a few data items but they like to do that sort of thing, or at
least they have not tried to create an interface.

For anyone who needs a proposal and award management system with
little expense for either Mac or windows based PC's I strongly
recommend that you check out just Filemaker Pro.  I am sure that for
a smaller institution, a financial component could be added too.

We don't have all those capabilities.  It would be nice.  Right now
we're just using FileMaker Pro.
