What a Mess!

[wolfe]

Working on a work schedule. Using FM8A I've got this to work the way I want, but the cost in fields seems a bit much so I was hoping someone could look at what I have and see if there's an easier way.

I've seen it time and time again so to avoid misunderstandings due to my ignorance, I'll just attach the file I'm working on so you can get your hands on the issue.

You will notice all the fields used to count shift coverages. I'm wondering if the same result can be achieved using fewer fields.

You will also notice the summary and calculation fields only work as intended when the last record in the set is active. I'm not that concerned about that because I plan on removing all menu commands and keeping the user on the last record once a new schedule is created. (Unless there's an easier way!)

Feel free to "talk down" to me since I am not very experienced, ill trained, and a little slow on the pick up!

I'm afraid you're not on a good path. I'd suggest you do some reading on calendar-type displays - perhaps here would be a good starting point.
