I'm trying to set up a schedule for a 7 weeks for a horseshoe league.  Each player will be teamed up with a different player every week (two man team).  Each team will play a different team each week.  Each player will play a different player every week. And each player will only have the same player as a partner, opponent, and opponents partner only once. 8 total players.

I know there has to be a way to figure this out easily, but it has eluded me thus far. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,

The solution could not elude Mike.  19 days later he graciously posted his solution as:

1+4 vs 6+8   (1v6) (4v8)     3+5 vs 2+7   (5v7) (2v3)
2+8 vs 6+7   (2v6) (7v8)     1+5 vs 3+4   (1v3) (4v5)
2+6 vs 1+3   (3v6) (1v2)     4+5 vs 7+8   (5v8) (4v7)
4+7 vs 3+6   (4v6) (3v7)     1+2 vs 5+8   (1v8) (2v5)
4+6 vs 2+5   (5v6) (2v4)     1+8 vs 3+7   (1v7) (3v8)
1+6 vs 5+7   (6v7) (1v5)     4+8 vs 2+3   (3v4) (2v8)
5+6 vs 3+8   (3v5) (6v8)     1+7 vs 2+4   (1v4) (2v7)
Thanks Mike!
