Hi,
I've got a scheduler application which allows standard entries to be made
into a calendar.
How do I handle features such as Recurrance the way Outlook 2000 does?
Thanks
Craig.

Hi Craig
The way I'd approach something like this would be to treat the recurrance
as an array. On the submission page you'd have the number of recurrances,
the recurrance schedule and the task/appointment.
Say the task was to recur at the same time every day for 10 days, loop
through the array (amount of days), incrementing the date and inserting
the record.
That's a very simplistic approach, you'd need to look at looping through
missing out Saturday and Sunday if this is a business resource. You'd also
need to check dates to ensure their validity.
What sort of application is it, and what are you using as your db?

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply.
It's a schedule system for Suppliers when they deliver to us. I'm using
Access (no choice) on our Intranet.
There are two effective bookings. Standard, and Repeat.
The Repeat bookings contain different data each time, but occur the same
time, each Monday for example.
Standard bookings are on-offs, and therefore need no clever work.
Cheers
Craig.
