    The athletic dept. on our campus is looking into a new scheduling
system and trying to compile information on what program to purchase. I'm
the person responsible for gathering the info. The project would involve
have a schedule broken up into 15 minute segments for a whole day, covering
a year schedule. The database needs to be able to update a master schedule,
billing sheet, and a invoice sheet. Also the master schedule needs to able to
cross-check to see if both the biiling sheet & and the invoice sheet have been
updated when a time segment has been deleted/added. The last part of the
database needs to networked for 2-3 computers entering information. They want a
server computer to run the database all the time and have to macs sending info
to the master database and back to the macs. Also they would like password
protection on the database.

Is there a database program that would able to programmed to deal with
something like this (4th dimension??, Filemaker Pro)?

Would this that difficult of a system to setup. Need help...
