Hello Dawn,
We have used MS Project in the past but found it difficult to learn/use/update... etc.
Our new project software is Primavera (a basic version) that seems to work pretty good according to our Project mgr.
You should know that there is a significant learning curve with this type of software (about 1 week full time) and a good computer with adequate memory is required. Most good project management programs are about $1K.
Consider also that you may want extra copies and have it networked to get its' full value as a tool. We find that it needs to be frequently updated to account for variables (delayed product, etc...) and remain useable, which takes up time each week.
Good luck!
Trakman.
