Yes, this can be done, probably without too much work. In addition to the book mentioned in my signature, you'll find links to others on my outlookcode.com site.

Medical services business wishes to maintain an appointment database for four
technicians, linking Calendar to a patient database, hopefully in a public
contacts folder. Clerical staff would input appointments for four or five
technicians, inputting patient names from the public Contacts folder and
assigning them a time at fifteen minute intervals for one of four technicians.

Is Outlook with Exchange capable of this? Does this involve minor or major
development work? What textbooks best describe the necessary work?

Thanks
