I believe that Keybase has a field type called "Yes or no," or something like that. Why not create a database with a field for the date and yes/no fields for each person who is expected to attend. Then each date would have its own record, and you could space through the fields to see who attended on any particular day. You would also have a number of ways in which to look up records. You could also copy particular dates to a file if necessary. I don't know how cumbersome this would be, but It might work.

Hi: This interests me as I too have the need to keep records of a similar nature. Mine are of 5 to 8 appointments every day. A classroom with 20 to 40 students in each of 5 or 6 classes would be even more daunting. As a tool for productivity it would certainly be of benefit if such would be added to KeySoft. My best advice for this role call function is to use the KeyWord program. Make a simple list of your students and place an X in front of those absent. Save the file using a date code. Another KeyWord method might be to insert dates after each student name on such a list. I use the KeyBase program to store information about clients but find it to be awkward for active manipulations such as you require. JD Townsend Helping the light dependent to see.
