Newbie needs experienced help

Hi

Does anyone have any ideas how I could create a 'timetabling' function/algorithm for a school using variables such as:
Pupil Name
Subjects Studied
Year
Teacher Name
Subjects Taught
Rooms Available

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanx

I'm sure I could help. Can you elaberate? (How do you want the outputed timetable to look, etc...)

Well, i'd like the timetable to be shown sort of like this... sorry for the poor drawing...

Lesson: 1
Year

RS (rev,5)
Geog (ht,g3)
1 His (br,h1)
Latin (cr,l1)

For all the years. The four sections are for the different classes i.e. Set 1,2,3,4 etc...

Thanx

Just a couple more questions:

1) Where will the data be coming from? An outside source such as a delimited text file, excel spreadsheet, database, etc...?

2) Where you have:

RS (rev,5)
Geog (ht,g3)
1 His (br,h1)
Latin (cr,l1)

What do does "RS" reference (the class name?).
Inside the parens, what does "rev,5" reference?

If you'd rather do this through e-mail, my e-mail address is: [email protected] Thanks.
