Time field- 5 min increments

[agtjazz]

I am trying to create a scheduling database to show a weekly view (Monday-Saturday) of courses booked 7am-10pm. I am trying to get a script to create new records in the Calendar table for Monday 7am-10pm in 5 minute increments.

I have 1 record

Day Time

Monday 7:00:00

I have a script that is adding 300 but it won’t recognize the previous record's time of 7:00:00.

I have attached my attempt. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Your set Field line could read

Set Field (Calendar::Time; GetNthRecord(Calendar::Time; Get ( RecordNumber )-1) +300]

The GetNthRecord command requires a field and a record number, and the Get(RecordNumber)-1 says to get the record just before the current one.

You'll have to trap for the first record, and the last record of the day, but this should get you started.

I am not at all convinced creating records in advance is necessary - but if you need it, try it this way?

Thanks. I think it's necessary to add the time records in advance to show the available time for classes. Is there a better way?

PS- I also updated my profile. :)

IMHO, records should be created when there is information for them to store.
