Holiday Planner

[zoomy]

Hi all,
Looking for recommendations for our staff holiday planner.
We used excel but it doesn't work with 64bit so we are no longer able to use it as our last 32 bit pc is not reliable anymore.
It needs to be able to log holidays, sick day, maternity, lieu days, lateness, statutory.
Needs to be able link staff so they clash.
We run shifts
Carry over days.
Show days taken and days left.
Ideally run on a server 2019 or a virtual windows 10.
Prefer no dongle and ideally 3 users.

I assume this is pretty standard and I can find some online however I want to buy it NOT rent it this is the problem
50+ staff.

Anyone??

Can you not continue to use Excel in browser format through Office 365? Not sure, just a suggestion given you already have a setup you are happy with.

Are you running on Mac or Windows?

Would it not be more cost-effective to buy a 64 bit PC so you don't have to retrain your staff?

You can buy this outright:

Why not just install LibreOffice instead, it opens normal .xls stuff fine.

This has worked well in the past https://www.whosoff.com/

We run windows 10 and all pc's are 64 bit.
The software only runs on 32bit which the last pc here with 32bit is dying and pretty unreliable.
The software is good and stable but will not run the macros on 64bit systems
I never thought of open office will try that but again its on a 64bit system pc

whosoff is unavailable to buy it is only on subscription which I am trying to avoid.

Thank you for the advice so far

Why not upgrade Excel?

We run office 2019 this was written for XP.
We have run the office upgrade but the software has some incompatible macro's that then revert it back.

The 64bit operating system is not compatible this also prevents open office I have just tried it.

I think it will be easier to buy a replacement 32bit system.

Was just wondering if anyone had encountered this before and what solution they had found.

Worth trying WPS office.

There is a free version.

It's the closest to MS Office clone I've seen, maybe it will be more sympathetic to your macros.
