[AccessD] scheduling

Susan,
from your msg I'm not quite sure which of the two the real problem is:
- reminding yourself to look
this can be done with a timer on a form (hidden form)
- Schedule your work load
in the below case you would enter something like 30%  of your available capacity
loaded for April and May. This requires however that you define how many
(wo)manhours article 'JIT' takes  and when it will be started.
put everything in a table including holidays, vacation etc and hours per day and
it will tell you when the article is ready.
In this context, you would like to check for scheduling conflicts. this is done
with a little equation somewhere on our download area (equation by myself and
some friends here).
