Robin, We use Microsoft Access to maintain our membership list (we have around 1100 members). It has proven to be a very easy system to work in and with. It allows you to create a form to input information for each entry or each member and also allows you to view that information collectively in a database form. It's very helpful and very easy to learn to use. Hope this helps. Regina Bacote Director of Visual Arts Arts Council of Wilson 124 E Nash Street Wilson.

We used to use MacTrac but have found it very cumbersome and hard to maintain. We are looking to build a Museum-wide data base which includes all members/ development information / press / publications audience as well as other types of audiences for our public outreach. I'm looking for something that is easy to maintain but has enough layers to cover our needs/catagories. If anyone has a product that works well for you, please let me know. Thank you in advance, Robin Stephenson Programs and Membership Manager Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology 103 Kroeber Hall #3712 Berkeley, CA 94720-3712 voice: 510/643-7648 fax: 510/642-6271 email: [log in to unmask] www.qal.berkeley.edu/~hearst/ ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
