Yes Tina, I know what you're saying. even though I've
developing Access Databases for some years now, I just
don't know where to start here on this specific need.

I'm NOT asking anyone to help me start my database from
the ground up, I'm just asking for some advince where or
how to start or some hints how to structure this specific
need. This scheduler that I'm trying to build is just a
part of a much larger system that I'm builing.

Sorry to the group If anybody thought that I was trying
anyone to help me build my entire system.

Thanks,

Manny
