Scheduling Software Needed
Jul 13, 2006
I am looking for some scheduling software to meet the following requirements:
The ideal requirements for a new scheduling tool would be:
•More robust than LaunchPad, but less complicated that Maestro
•ability to initiate specific Access macros (not using an autoexec macro) REQUIRED
•must provide detailed audit logs to show success or failure of each job REQUIRED
•ability to monitor shares for files or file changes
•Networked version for shared access?
•Must be controlled from within the team
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi all, I'm just starting on a new project to create a scheduling database for a small company (about 20 people). What i aim to do is to edit calander entries (Month view) and view calander entries hopefully using a control that looks as much like Outlook as possible again this would hopefully show what these 20 people are doing over the month.
My question is: Can you use outlook to do this, or would you have to use a control and does anyone know what/how to use this control.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

HI All....
I have a question which I believe I may already know the answer to but Here it goes. I am trying to create a db that can track and employee shift schedules. I have 28 employees and we work 24X7 so we have 3 shifts, days, evenings and night. I cant seem to get my head around how I would create it. I have tried like 10 different ways but I keep running into Form limits. They want to be able to schedule for the whole year out by month. I have attached a sample of what they want it to look like. If anyone knows of anything out there or could assist me in at least a correct starting point, I would be forever in debt to you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to hearing from you.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a room scheduling example or a tutor site. I originally wanted to use Outlook but my boss, after seeing another Acces Project I did, asked for it in the Access. I can build a basic data base on a daily basis showing rooms against hours, but my problem is forward scheduling eg "every Thursday meeting room 1 will be for Group A" etc. Can anyone please get me started - I'm tearing my hair out on this one!
Thanks in advance.

Hello Guys:
I need help creating a small Access Database to be able to make Schedules for Conference table Meetings. I am hoping to find an example, or if someone could please direct me to the right place where it’s been done before in Access 2000!?
I was asked to use this Calendar: (“Calendar Control 9.0”) because all my co-workers have this Active X Control, which has Dates but not Time in and Out. I need to add Time or think of some other general Control, to add to this Database along with the Date Calendar.
What my co-workers would like to do is to go inside the Database > choose their Name > pick a Date in a Calendar > pick a Time to RESERVE the meeting > place/ location, etc.
The only thing right now I have is a Table for the Users, and I also need to figure out how to place it in the DB for other people to select their name and precede with other options.
I need to make the DB recurring (like Outlook), notifying (e-mailing) of weekly Staff Meetings, for EX: every Wednesday for next months. So that next time, when somebody goes into the Database, they can see what Time slots are taken or Available on the Calendar. We tried this with Outlook, but it didn’t work due to the Conference table not being customized and not listed in the Company address List. Don’t mean to make it confusing - basically Outlook seems to be out of the question for my Group, therefore I was asked to look into Access :) .
I don’t even know where to start. Can someone please help me modify this or I would be glad if you provide an Example for me to visualize where to start? In this Calendar, people want to be able to choose Hours. In addition, I need help with aesthetics for the Database tables, queries, forms/ Switchboard.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Beginner:confused:

Dear Access Expert.
I would like to create a Scheduling database for employees. The database would include:
- list all of the employees
-tabs to look at schedule for this week, 1 week from now, 2weeks from now, 3 weeks from now, long term (1-2 months), etc
-small comment section within each day for the guys to enter some comments...e.g. dentist at 10, holidays, etc
There has to be something like this already out there that I can modify and work with. Is there anything like this already in the NorthWind Database that comes with Access? What about some free examples Access developers made?
What about Outlook? Can I modify Outlook and use VBA somehow to accomplish this? Outlook is basically on an account basis so I don't know if I could tailor it to my 30+ employee database.
Thank you very much for your input.

Hello All
I am in need of a lot of help. The situation is as follows I have a table with users that have certain classes that they have to take and in another table I have the dates that these classes are offered. My problem is I want to find a way to map all the students to their required class by scheudling them into the required classes taking into account date conflicts and classes required before taking a certain other classes. I guess my question is if there is any possible to do this in access without me phyically having to schedule each users required classes to the correct time making sure there are no date conflicts. Any help would be highly appreciated because we are talking about 3000 users that need to have schedules and that is extremly time consuming if I have to sit here and do the schedule for each user. Thank you in advance for your time

I need to make a random schedule every week. I have a new DB that I have attached and the current one being used that was built by some one else. The reason for building the new one is I could not figure out what to change to add a new section/Area for scheduleing.
What I have are 3 levels of auditors
Level 1 are the basic auditors which I will need 1 per shift per day
Level 2 Are operationl Auditors I will need 2 of the per week
Level 3 are management auditors and I need one of those per week.
When I get these compiled per week I will need to make a report to e-mail out.
I attached both DB's the old one to show what I need, and the new for a more stripped down and easier to update version.

I'm putting together a Customer Management dbase, in Access 07, and one of the tables is dedicated to scheduling (and the outcome) of customer appointments.
The tables I'm hoping to get a solution for are:
1: Customer Master Data (parent): contains fields such as Name, Address, Phone #, email etc
2: Appointment Master (child): there are 4 Appointment tables/queries, one for each of the available product groups, and contain such fields as Product Type, Lead Source, Lead Status, Appointment Date, Appointment Time, Sales Rep, Appointment Comments
What I am trying to do is find a solution as described below:
1: When the appointment is created the appointment is then pushed into Outlook 07; along with various customer information from the Customer Master table
2: OR is there an appointment/scheduling calendar, preferably with the same look/feel of outlook, available that forms part of the access 07 dbase? This is probably the preferred solution.

Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to schedule in windows somewhere to open up my syncfrontend.mdb and then run a routine that i have written inside of that mdb.
The routine is a huge database syncronisation task that needs running every hour, it's all there ready to be run but just need a way to get to it and run it automatically on the hour every hour.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Here is my problem. I am hoping that someone here can be my hero on this one.
I am trying to figure out what would be the best possible way to track my hospital's staffing. I need a form that I can click on the Active X calendar and have it populate the staffing table. I have built the code and it works great.
The problem is that the way the code works now, I have to have a field in my table for every single date scheduled. For example, right now, I have the staffing table like this:
Name
Date Scheduled
Date Scheduled1
Date Scheduled2
Date Scheduled3
Of course, after a month, an employee will have worked more than four shifts. I really don't want to add a field for every shift they could have worked because then, after a month, I'll have thirty date fields, and after a year, I'll have 365. So, do you have any ideas about how I can do this without having 365 date fields?? Thank you! If you can help me figure this out, you are my hero.

I have a normal schedule table in my database that stores the open/close hours for each business unit location.
The problem is some locations are timeshares and some have different business units every other week, every 2 Tuesday, the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month.
I figured I would make an exception table noting all of these somehow and after building a calendar/report plug in the exceptions.

I am creating a scheduling database for patient home visits and need to see specific people assigned to one visit, and it will always be at least 4. Could I create a drop down list that will show all team members? How would I design the scheduling table to have multiple people for one scheduling record? I have table for Teams and one for Team members, but when creating the appointment form realized I will only see one team member assigned to one specific appointment.

I'm able to create a gantt chart template in excel that will use date information to visually display the upcoming work. That's great, its exactly what I need. I'm unsure how to implement it.
The question is: Do I need to export data and have it generate these excel reports, or can I have it done in access somehow?
Either way that I do it I'm not sure where I'm going. I imagine its quite easy to export data to work with but I don't want to be spending time on access/excel creating a solution which isn't the best one.

I created a form for scheduling appointments on access 2013 using a youtube tutorial. I got most of it work apart from the combo box that functions in a way that once the time slot has booked with a client it should no longer be shown in the list.
E.g.:-2/2/2014 10:00AM is already booked with a client
The combo box should no longer display the 10:00 AM timeslot but can be shown on other days
Below is the VBA code that i typed out. How to create the code to make the combo box work in that manner.
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cboTime_Enter()
Dim i As Date, n As Integer, oRS As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String
Dim dLowerbreak As Date, dUpperBreak As Date, dDuration As Date
Dim dLowerPrecision As Date, dUpperPrecision As Date
cboTime.RowSourceType = "Value List"
[Code] ....
I found out that the combo box does not work like it does in the video i.e the option does not dissaspear even though their has been a booking with that time slot with another client.
Coding that is required to make the combo box work like that or is their an error within the code that is preventing the combo box to work in such manner ...

I'm writing a simple job scheduling database, so I've got resource availability (by week) and job list (by week). I've written a single-column query whose only output is a unique list of weeks with resources available, and another single-column query whose only output is a unique list of weeks with at least one job allocated.
How do I join these so that I can get a single-column list of weeks that have either (or both) of resources and jobs?
So Query1 returns:
25/08/2014
08/09/2014
15/09/2014
while Query2 returns:
01/09/2014
08/09/2014
15/09/2014
22/09/2014
I want query3 to return:
25/08/2014
01/09/2014
08/09/2014
15/09/2014
22/09/2014

I'm working on a scheduling system for my fathers company that automates some redundant tasks. Most importantly the system manages the order of processes on different parts (ie, part "tubes" may be cut, then drilled, then welded, then shipped).
I'm trying to create a form that allows for the editing and viewing of all the parts and the processes for each part for a specific work Order. Ideally the information that applies to all the parts (Work order Number, due date etc) would appear at the top of the form with all of the processes to appear beneath (Separated into groups - all the parts to be welded shown together). My problem with using sub forms for this was that I need all the records to be shown without scrolling. Is there a way to dynamically change the size of each Subform to match the required size, or is there a better feature to use?

I need some help on a database that is set up for work use.
It's rather large and I have no technicial knowledge of access whatsoever so an answer in plain english would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture of the screen that i am having the problem with. The blank fields contain peoples names and addresses. On this page i have to click on "update service user" on the first user, the database opens a seperate page and i enter a few details, then i click to go back to this screen.
When I return back to the screen, the scroll bar is at the top of the list. This is OK when I am doing the first few letters of the alphabet (the users are listed alphabetically) but when i have too use the scroll bar and choose the letters later down the list, then click to update then return to the screen and the scroll barr is not where i left it...ie: it's at the top.
So what I am asking is, is there a way of freezing this scroll bar so it will stay there even when i have navigated away from the screen to update each user?
If someone could answer me this query then I would be most grateful as it's quite time consuming for me to use the scroll bar and find the next person that i need to update.

I have a multiple user access database on share drive with user-security level created. I created myself as administrator, and remove default Admin from Admin group. Removed permission from user group and joined workgroup file which I created as "MBS work group.mdw". I created shortcut on user's computer. I believe the syntax is correct
"C:Program FilesOffice 2003OFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS Work Group.mdw" "\ServerNameMBS DatabaseMBS.mdb"
Everything works fine. When I directly double click the database (MBS.mdb), it pops up a login box. However, when other user double clicks the database directly (not from shortcut) from their station, login window doesn't pop up. It allows them to access the database. I saw the work group file used default System.mdw
My question is how can I restrict them by double clicking the database without go through shortcut? Why my database security not protect user access without give user name and password. I tried by joined user’s work group file to MBS work group.mdw. It works, but I don’t want let user manually to do that one by one.
Is there anybody can help me go through this problem?

Hi,
I am fairly new to DB's and have been trying to get my head round a database I want to build. I have had a few pointers from other people on here which has helped etc.
I was wondering if anyone out there would mind helping me with this project. I will go into detail if anyone is interested. I am hoping that someone would let me add them to messenger so when I get stuck etc, I could drop them a quick note. I am not going to harrass you every minute of the day (I promise not to try to anyway :D ). I would like to work with someone so I dont have to keep explaining it to someone different each time.
If this is something that someone wouldnt mind doing, please, please, please let me know.
Many thanks
Jamie
