Stephen,

I don’t recall your feels on Ultra Recall but it seems well suited to the task at hand. Since you have indicated that you will be developing the database, the free UR Viewer could be employed for distribution.

The Viewer does allow for printing, and allows the user to insert columns in the Child Pane for sorting or these could be defined during development. Also, you could define a number of searches based on your catagories if you wanted to eliminate the need for user interaction.

Additionally, the Tree View of the Data Explorer is easily understood.
