Thanks for replying.
I found another solution after hunting on the web for hours. Management software is thousands of dollars, thats a no-go.
Heres the cheap solution:
You have to have excel 2003. Upgrade is only $100.
Microsoft has a free templates site. Search under "scheduling" and there are 4 great templates that will work perfectly for scheduling painters, especially since some are on more than one job in a day. The best one I liked, with very little modification was the one for nurses. It works perfect and the download was FREE! and it took no time at all.
Hope I can help someone else.
