The system is so self explanatory that every person in the company has had to go on numerous training courses to use it and there are masses of online help systems. Which incidentally you can't access from within the system, instead you have to manually navigate to in a browser. Unfortunately the organization of the online help is badly organized and no one can find the relevant pages. > whats wrong with tables? If I designed a time sheet program I would look at the persons diary, the projects that are applicable to them, the allocations that the person has against each project and produce a calendar like interface which suggested project times much like a calendar booking might be shown. You could have a different color for each project, show on a separate pane all the possible projects and give statistics for each project. I would describe people by their name and projects with the project name and allow you to click through to see more information. In the ideal world you would simply use your calendar, no separate app at all. Yes a calendar type interface is sort of like a table, but it is not a rigid one item per box matrix. It allows for overlap, arbitrary boundaries, and useful summary information like per day, per week, per month, per project etc. it allows zooming in and out, clicking through for more info, fast scrolling. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
