Some on our board had thought we should use Access but we have not yet begun, please keep us posted as to what you decide to go with now that William has pointed out as a potential problem with PastPerfect.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #1f497d;"> PastPerfect is a great program, I quite like it; however, it is built on a no longer supported Microsoft database platform. It works fine now but there is always the chance that a Windows update or upgrade could break the program.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;">I would suggest PastPerfect. While it isn't a "be-all" database (and isn't the best for Archival collections), it is a fantastic recourse for smaller institutions. Feel free to give me a call if you'd like to chat more about it. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;">Does anyone have any information on a great data base for smaller museums? We are currently using Access and is very limited in what it can do. Any ideas would be very much appreciated! Thank-you in advance.</span></p>
