April- Sounds like you answered your own question. You need an employees, clients, and availability table. Employees can be available on more than one day, and clients can need an employee more than one day, this is the need for the availability table. Where the clients needs and employees availability meet in the availability table is the row that gets assigned to both of them. There are not very many resources on the web that describe this situation. Most deal with the Customers/Orders stuff. The MS Press book Running Access 2000, John Viescas, ISBN: 1-57231-934-8 is a great book and one of the example throughout the book is a booking system for clubs/bands. Similar to what you need. -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: April Pace [mailto:4office@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 2:17 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Access Creating Employee Schedule Can somebody point me to a link that I can goto and read about the best way to make an employee's schedule in Access... I have a table with employee names, what "jobs title (RN, CNA 1, CNA 2 ...)" they are capable of doing, the days and hours that they can work.

In the end be able to print a "report" a table (calendar) for a Client (or Employee) with who will be coming on each day of the week for X month... (and one for the Employee that says what Client (patient) that they will see one what day and from/to hours....
