Filemaker is £432+VAT - I could probably just about get them to spring for that if really needed, but I'm not sure if it'd be the ideal solution.

I know it's simple to position fields anywhere in FileMaker, but I'm looking for a solution to position entire records in custom locations on screen.īut going anywhere near a database these days involves all kinds of weird complexities. I'd then create a layout with loads of these records put into place in a grid over the image. Ideally I'd redraw the image without any numbers, paste it into the background, then create a very simple database with a few fields such as: Area (labelled A to F), plot number, is it occupied?, name of deceased. ![]() Its mind boggling to think that this popular database has been around since 1985.

I have been given the task of creating some kind of graphical database to log the position of graves in a local graveyard.
