Allow me to use an example to illustrate my problem.
I have 2 drivers servicing 4 day-care centers. I use REMIND to schedule my REGULAR monthly 2-driver schedule. I call this my regular "2 driver schedule." I have to give the 4 day-care centers their schedule before the start of each month. Now, one driver has to go out of town occasionally on short 3-day trips. For those 3 days, the other driver has to service the 4 day-care centers with a different schedule. In this event, I have already a back-up plan called "1 driver schedule". Currently, I have to manually make modification to my "regular 2 driver schedule" for those days that a driver is out of town. In short, I am usually on the "2 driver schedule" but, from time to time, I have to introduce a "1 driver schedule" for 3 days within the regular 2 driver monthly schedule. ------------------------- I am a novice with REMIND programming... I figure that the program could look like this: SET driver 2 IF driver == 2 [2 driver schedule, center A] [2 driver schedule, center B] [2 driver schedule, center C] [2 driver schedule, center D] ELSE [1 driver schedule, center A] [1 driver schedule, center B] [1 driver schedule, center C] [1 driver schedule, center D] ENDIF My question is: REMIND helps me tremendously to plan the regular schedules of the 4 centers when both drivers are around, BUT... How can I set the variable driver to 1 just for a range of date, say, May 17-19, 2012 (i.e. when a driver is out)? Any help most appreciated.
