Scheduling

[ted]

I am the CAD Manager for a major retail electronics
company. I work in the Architectural & Engineering
department. I am trying to locate a software package
that can be programed to look at certain fields in our
access database and usning formulas create a work
schedule of when projects are to be completed. To be
more specific if I want to know what construction
drawings need to be completed between July 1 and August
25 it will look at the construction start date in Access
and calculate (backs off 90 days) and will schedule when
the particular jobs should be completed. Can this be
done in Excell, Access, Project or what?

Thank you in advance,
Ted

Hi Ted,

It should be possible to do this in Access or from Excel or Project.
Start by developing a query in Access that returns the data you need.
