Timetable
Hi,
I don't even know whether this can be done, but I wonder if someone can help please. I have the following information in an access query: Date Started Date Tested Date Finished Test 14/08/06 30/09/06 31/12/06 Live 01/01/06 31/10/06 31/01/07 I would like this to be able to be shown as a timetable, if you can imagine looking like a hotel reservation screen, where there is a timeline across the top and blocks of colour to highlight the paticular dates for the two categories. Can anyone help please. I'm not sure whether this may even be better in Excel. Many thanks Chris |

Duane,
As I said last night, thanks for this. I've had a look at this today and it's not quite what I would like. I'll try and explain a little better. The report that you pointed me to shows the timeline across the top but what I really need, if possible is for the dates for the relevant activities against my categories, (which will be in a query in the background) to be populated under the relevant date in the timeline. Almost as if you were filling in cells in excel I'm not even sure whether there is a way to export this into excel and for that to create a table in Excel? Hope this helps Many thanks Chris "Duane Hookom" wrote: Check the Calendar reports at http://www.access.hookom.net/Samples.htm. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "ir26121973" wrote in message ...

I'm fairly sure all the information is there in one of the reports. You just
have to understand how to apply it. You want dates across the top, my sample has dates across the top. You want records to be displayed under specific dates, my sample prints record information under specific dates. Can you draw out your desired display in Paint Brush or Excel or whatever and post it on the web somewhere so we can understand what you mean? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "ir26121973" wrote in message ...

Duane,
There's no doubt in my mind that your database samples can point me in the right direction, like you said it just how to apply them to what i need. I do have a limited knowledge of access, but my experience is getting better as time goes on. I've obviously got a file of how I want the report to look but haven't got a clue where to post it. Not done this sort of thing before. Any ideas? Regards Chris "Duane Hookom" wrote: I'm fairly sure all the information is there in one of the reports. You just have to understand how to apply it.

If you can't adequately describe your desired display then you might want to
find a site that would host an image for free. I google this and got lots of hits. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "ir26121973" wrote in message ...

Duane, thanks for hanging in there with me and taking the time to read my
posts it is greatly appereciated. I'm going to try and explain what i would like, hopefully better The database is used to collate tests which are carried out on e-forms that I use. These tests can be carried out on anyday throughout the financial year. Within the database I have use a data entry form where I fill out the description of each e-form along with the dates that these tests are carried out. For the ease of explaining I will use e-form 1 and e-form 2 as an example, although there are more. For these forms there is a total of 2 tests, again for ease, I'll call these test 1 and test 2. What I need is a report if you imagine marked out like a grid with every day in the year going across the top and then the names of the e-forms running down the left hand side. I would like the dates of the tests that I have entered to be shown in the relevant dates on the report as different coloured blocks, so e.g. test 1 will be red and test 2 green. Does this give you a better idea? Regards Chris "Duane Hookom" wrote: If you can't adequately describe your desired display then you might want to find a site that would host an image for free.
