Hello,
I work for a medical office and they always call their patients to remind them of the appointment. It is quite a time consuming procedure, but it has to be done. I told my boss that I might be able to make a program with vb that can call people up using the database of patient information on their computers and say a few lines of text that will be edit accordingly. One problem, I realized I had no idea how to do this! If you or someone you know has done something of this nature before please email vze4mmze@verizon.net (subject: MedicProgram) so I would at least have something to work with. Thank you very much for any assistance.

To fully answer your question would take a lot more time than I have at this moment.

I just wanted to reply with - you might want to keep your above 'comments' as a goal - but break it into steps that you can execute against.

I know people whohave integrated vb with their telecom system - but it is quite an undertaking. I personally haven't worked w/ telecom - but have with VB and other languages.

One step might be to contact your company's phone vendor for and APIs they have w/ software.

Another might be to search for existing solutions (hardware, even) to this problem. The telemarketing world has figured it out. So has Walgreens.

Good luck,
