 Subject: Re: Tour Reservation System

 Hi everyone,

 Since this topic of discussion is open again, I'd like to know if anyone
uses FileMaker Pro or Vista.  We currently use FileMaker to schedule tours at
the Fine Arts Museums, SF, but are thinking of switching over to Vista, which
our vendors currently use.  For those of you that do
 use Vista, do you find it user-friendly?  Maybe some of you may know what
qualities Vista offers that FileMaker does not?
 Thanks!

Cynthia:
Whiatker Center for Science & the Arts uses VISTA as its reservation system.
I am not personally familiar with its capabilities because only 1 person in
our entire 100-person operation really understands it. (There used to be 2
but 1 left.) Several others can access specific data but the 3 dpeartments
that use it most are all seeking additional training. (Manuals dont' seem to
be readily available.) I'm not saying you shouldn't consider VISTA but my
guess is that you might need to be wary about its user-friendliness. Anyone
else have differnt experiences with VISTA?
