creating a schedule

**tx328is** · 12-07-2009, 07:57 PM

Work for a small clinic and am using Excel 2007 to create a tracker of sorts. It will include a listing of patient contact information,billing details,etc. I would like to include a schedule of patient appointment times. I have a monthly calendar in the workbook,but want to know if its possible to set recurring appointments for say Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday or Monday-Tuesday-Thursday. I believe this can be done with Outlook, but we do not use it here, unfortunately. I took a look at wincalendar,but the free version is limited and its like pulling teeth to get the boss to spend money,lol. I'm sure a stand alone scheduling application would be easier,but I'd like to just have one spreadsheet for everything.
Any suggestions?

Hi Tx, and welcome to the forum. I'm sure something usable can be made out of Excel, but coming from an IT perspective I can't condone using Excel for anything to do with personal and billing information in a medical clinic (or any business).

With all of the acronyms flying around for data security, it's just not worth the risk. Ask your boss which is worth more: spending a relatively small amount of money on some software with decent data protection/encryption, or having to close the business down because someone got a copy of the Excel workbook and the business was sued into oblivion?
