Scheduling software

[Jo-Ann Lindsay]

     This is my first post to this list, although I have been lurking for a 
     while.  I am looking for a software product, and hoping someone can 
     help.
     
     We have a computer-training room with 24 computers which can be 
     divided into two classrooms.  I have been asked to design a classroom 
     scheduling database to keep track of the courses and dates of 
     instruction for this room(s).  I am no database expert...it seems to 
     me that such an animal must surely exist.  Unfortunately, the products 
     I have found start at $1000 and go up from there.  We are not 
     scheduling for the entire building...only for this room.  (There is a 
     chance that two other rooms may eventually be involved).  Does anyone 
     "out there" know of a software product that is inexpensive and 
     reliable?
     
     I know this is not a Web-specific question, but I hope you will find 
     this appropriate for this list.
     
     TIA
