Hi all....I don't know much about non graphics software so sorry if this sounds dumb...I am trying to help my fathers company and they want a computer program that they can click on a customers name and then all the customers part numbers will show up and then when they click on the part number you can see a photo of it with a price quote(oh so simple). I have been searching and so far have not found anything like this. Is there a software that can do this. It sounds so simple but my searches have lead to nothing. thanks all for any help

Sounds likes a situation to roll your own database. Filemaker 7 has a demo to learn with, or www.filemaker.com can direct you to an independent developer who would build what you want for hire.

Agreed that this is a database problem.

My recommendation would be to use an open source database like postgres (or mysql if you like pain), combined with a cgi web interface. All those things are free and fully supported under OS X. Using cgi for the interface gives all sorts of interesting options for access that a regular program wouldn't allow.

Of course, what I've suggested is far from an off-the-shelf solution. But from your description of the problem, I'd say an experienced developer could bang out a prototype in just a couple of days.
