I am trying to make a program for my work that makes the process of coming up with the weekly schedule a lot easier... what i am looking to include is:

a way to control the "pars" for the day of how many employees to be scheduled... this should be easy to do because it changes almost week to week

a form of some sort that allows you to pop an employee's name into a selected par slot that they are hired for (but only the job codes they are hired for)

a form to add/remove employees or job codes to an employee

i am assuming a few database files to store the job codes that are available as well as the employees and any other data...

also a way to alter an employee's availability in a clean manner so that they are not "accidentally" scheduled on a day they have off

i am new to programming and i want to do this as much myself as possible but a point as to what type of language as well as maybe a pointer to some tutorials or personal tips to get the job done would be appreciated....

I know small amounts and/or have textbooks on:
Java
Visual basic
VBE
and C++
but i am willing to work on it in whatever is best to make the program run



Thanks in advance,
Mike

Most any language will work.

Visual Basic (especially .NET) can work with a database or window forms easily, so you may wish to use this.
