We have worked with the seattle children's museum to create an ACCESS application that is working fairly well. The strong points are the ability to generate reporting statistics and confirmation materials very easily. The weak point is the inability to view the filled and un-filled slots in your tour schedule on one computer screen. We are still using paper to block out tour openings, but keeping most tour data in our database. ACCESS also is farily easily to learn, so that us museum educators can easily modify the program to fit changing needs after the initial programmers have finished their contract. Good Luck!
