Hi vokic and jedd first of all thank you both for the very informative replies - especially the example of how to calculate cost.
Even with the small project i'm working on now I constantly have to explode strings, iterate through them and process them and then repeat this for the number of "listings". i just get a bit worried when I see so much looping and exploding.
The thing is there are 3000 people at my work but only 1000 of us follow the same "shifts". If i were to extend the program later to try and include the others I'm worried about the performance. I know i'm getting ahead of myself but I shudder at the thought of trying to change things at a later stage. It probably won't get to that stage but I'd like to learn best practice anyway for any possible future projects.
I'm curious to know the number of users for your forum jedd, if it's not classified.
