Not sure how to help... If you want a good date/time picker (to set the appointments) you're welcome to use my tag: http://exciteworks.com/ec/tags.cfm just look at <cf_popDateTime> and you can see how it works and download the code.

They also arent even standardized. So I could have the same guy in Oncology on call for 3 months. Some divisions do their schedules this way. Others split up a day. There are a bunch of if's here. :) The guy I'm doing this for is the VP of Medical Affairs, he's the one who all the docs report to. So if he says we can standardize, we standardize. It has to be better than what we have here now. Basically it's a free-for-all and each division makes their own calendar, list, or whatever. Candace K.

The big calendar would probably hinder you as you could not put in the names of every doctor in a single cell/day. A little one might be good for quick access to a day for the reports though. I think your biggest problem will be to validate the forms people enter which shouldn't be too hard. Also pay close attention to how all the various schedules work. Requirements gathering will be key here. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that nurses can schedule different shift types than doctors and what not.

Are the on-call timeframes always 8am-8pm? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Candace Cottrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 1:28 PM Subject: RE: Dates and the like > Dre, I need to be able to tie their contact info with the schedule. > Basically, if I ama nurse in the ER and I need to know who is on call in > dentistry, I would go to the intranet, pull up this app, select > dentistry, and whoever is oncall's name and contact info would show up. > I liked the calendar display, but it really isnt necessary. > > There will need to be reporting for the scedules.
