Yes, but that's assuming that their class schedules could easily be converted into a database. Our schedules at Western Il were extremely difficult to read as it was, let alone convert to a database. I guess the application could contain a database info card where the PNM entered their schedule.

And I've learned from my office, that if you have an excel sheet someone will inevitably come along and type over the formula you spent 8 hours perfecting.
