Thanks for the recommendation; I found eBase when I was looking around,
but was totally turned off by the FileMaker requirement.  You have to
have a FileMaker server ($750) if you want multiple people to access the
database, which is probably a requirement.  

I also found a couple service-based web sites that do this type of thing
for a small monthly fee.  This may work nicely so that multiple people
can access it (since we have no 'office' with a primary computer to work
on), and it should work fine in Linux.  :-)
