90% of the runs occur at least once a day. The dispatches know the detail information so they don't mind not being able to see everything. As far as billing, the dispatches don't care; that's someone else job.




>And your dispatchers aren't griping about not being able to see all the information at once? Boy, I'd like your dispatchers! <g>

>>I am currently working on an app like this. Our design is basically a tabbed form. First tab is dispatch entry. (Enter billing, pickup, delvery address and estamated times).
>>Second tab has 2 grids and a number of text boxes. Grid1 is available vehicles. the grid displays the vehicle id, number of open jobs assigned, and communication mode. Grid2 is job inormation. Job control id, vehicle type needed, ready time and committime). As the user clicks on the job in the grid. We display additional (detail job) information in text boxes.
>>Third tab is POD information. Pickup arrive depart datetime, delivery depart arrive datetime, consignee name, and detailed vehicle information (id, trailer no, driver name, delivery exception codes and bill of lading numbers).
>>
>>Just an idea of what we did.
