add-in for recurring item?
I am looking for an add-in, or advice on how best to program one, that
can do something like this: (Assuming a series of past appointments it can locate and use) I enter in an appointment for a certain day; it creates the appointment, checks a certain number of past appointments, takes an average of the number of days between them, and creates a new appointment that many days in the future. it would be nice if I could also then, shift the date of that future appointment and have it repeat the process rather than having to make a new corrected one and delete the old one. Currently, I use a recurring appointment set for a certain number of days, and just alter each instance to reflect the correct date as it occurs. But this means that the recurrence doesn't take those changes into account. (For example, I set it to recur every 30 days, say, and that puts an instance on the 6th. but it actually ended up taking place on the 5th - even if i move it, the next one will be made 30 days from the 6th, instead of where i want it, 30 days from the 5th.) I'm currently doing this as calendar appointments; I thought about using regenerating tasks, but it seemed only slightly less awkward, and I still can't get an automatically adjusting average of number of days that way. The important parts of this are the record of past items being accurate and accessible, and being able to have accurate 'predictions' of the next future event based on the average. (As you may have guessed, it's a menstrual period tracker - most of the programs I've encountered are awful, so if I have to make one, and it works, I'll make it available as widely as I can.) One more thing: however it's done, it needs to be in a format that can sync to PocketPC 2003. (Calendar and tasks can, but I don't see Journal.) Any suggestions? |
