- Appointment Scheduler
-
- This is a somewhat different type of database for Q&A
- and utilizes the new table view features of version 4.0.
- I created this appointment template as a part of a
- much larger office/invoicing package and thought others
- might find some use for it.
- Unlike most Q&A databases, this one is meant to be
- used in Q&A's table view mode (from the search/update
- spec) where is it is possible to scroll back and forth
- across the screen. As such, you can add entries or modify
- them as needed.
- I've included a macro that you can use to activate the
- calendar. It assumes that you've already called up the
- appointment calendar once.
- If you don't want to use the macro, here's how to
- start: Go to search/update and call up the database. At
- the retrieve spec, press F8 to call the sort spec. Tab to
- the time slot field and type: 1,as. F10. This will bring
- up all the records. However, if you have more than one
- week installed, you can include retrieve or sort by weeks
- as well.
- There is one report already written, and it prints out
- the week's appointments.
- Records are sorted by time slots, and you could
- customize to however often you want the breaks. As it is
- set-up, breaks are every 15 minutes.
- I could think of at least two different ways to keep
- the times on the screen as you scrolled across. I chose
- the simpler of the two.
- Finally, you could add weeks by simply copying blank
- records from a virgin backup copy. Again, there are a
- couple of other methods possible, depending on your needs.
- Enjoy.
