Thanks, Diane!

I think you are good at this, and I would like to put another somewhat
related question to you, whilst you are in the spirit!:

How could a school use microsoft office to enable teachers to easily:

1 Add / Remove students to a register for a particular course
2 Mark the register each day (eg present absent late sick etc)

The register should be stored on a server, so they information they
put in each day is viewable by people with the necessary permissions.

Maybe this is in the wrong forum, if so sorry!

How can a school use the facilities in Outlook 2007 to co-ordinate its
classrooms?

There are several classrooms.

For any given hour, a teacher/group/course combination is or is not
assigned to a particular classroom.
The "teacher/group/course" have recurring meetings at the same time,
in the same room, on particular days, for a given number of weeks.

(Sounds v close to Outlook Calendar, so far...

Lets say 3 classes are in progress at the same time, that flags a
"conflict" in outlook. (sort of, you cant be in 2 places at once sort
of thing.)

But the school has lots of classrooms, and teachers... so, how could
this be done.

If there are any nifty tricks that can be employed whilst trying this,
please say

I think Access or Excel would be better suited to this.

If your school hasn't already invested all their money into Microsoft
products, you might want to consider open source calendaring (so-called
groupware) solutions like Zimbra or Scalix.

For the class registration stuff, a basic version could easily be
created in PHP and MySQL. If you can't do it yourself, there are plenty
of contract coders out there that will compete for your project.

Or, I'm sure you can google around for whatever commercial stuff is out
there.
