10 years ago Hi Donald, It makes sense. I was going to have a table all by itself for the Employee to Client IHSS relationship.This will make it easy to check against in the scheduler process. I am tentatively thinking of having a form that is accessible both in the client and employee forms that will allow you to on/off IHSS eligibility for specific relationships. There is another alternative, a grid of toggles like the report in the job book looks, and while that is a very effective method of input the initial data fast, it has almost no scalability (eventually you'll have enough unique employees and clients that scroll bars would be necessary to edit the values.) I'll make a point of working on a basic form of that tonight so that you can get a feel for it and see if it meets your needs in a pleasing way. I think James and I are 'officially' starting phase 1 on Saturday morning, as he's wrapping up a few things with Yahoo. I've just been playing with access this week, creating skeletons, code examples, labeling schemes, and getting the development environment set up for us.
I do have a question that occurred to me last night.Do you have a color scheme that you prefer for your software? Some people like blue highlights on white back ground with black text, others enjoy bright colors like orange.There is no rush on an answer for that. Treat it like shopping for carpet. Shop around until you're sure.I just want the GUI to be as pleasing to the eye as it is effective to the amount of work it relieves you of.

Hi Sean and James,
All logged in and viewed current project.
I viewed tables as well, and remembered that one of the things I was struggling with was assigning IHSS eligibility. This is a two step process: 1) marking the employee is eligible, and 2) determining which clients the employee is approved to work with.
For example, employee A is eligible to work IHSS, but that doesn't mean emp. A works with everyone; they have to be enrolled and approved individually by the state.
What I was thinking of doing in Excel was simply creating a delimited string in a cell with a string of clientid numbers to check against. Then IHSS hours aren't assigned to someone in error. I'm sure this can be handled better/easier through Access.
In other words, for clients A through H, emp. A can work with any and all clients as assigned and be paid by NCALC. But if emp A is only approved for IHSS for clients B, F, & G, then any hours worked with those clients will automatically be our (NCALC) hours and cannot be assigned to IHSS.
I hope this makes sense; please let me know otherwise.
Thanks,
Donald
