can this be done with office ?

[Dennis Freud]

Hi all,
I wish to realise a project where the main user interface
consists of a spreadsheet like display. This has a
scrollbar at the bottom and if neccessary one on the side
as well. The x.axis is a timeline showing present (week or
ten days) at startup, past and future left and right.
The y-axis contains lines for activities in different
status (status is color coded) and lengths of colored
block in line shows beginning
and end of activity.
User should be enabled to click on a line or block and
then be forwarded to a standard access form where he may
edit activity status
and or times.
Information behind graphic display is stored in access
tables.

Is this to be realised with access means?

Does anyone know how to do this and would be willing to
help

Dennis

Dennis this all sound suspiciously like Microsoft Project and Project Server
Have you looked at those product instead of doing it your self ?

Well - I can´t really make a living selling microsofts
products... - I´ll utilize them to make a custom built
solution for my audience. - I´ll look into project
nonetheless.
Thanx

It does sound like you are trying to recreate Project, and would have to
invest substantial time and money into building even the basic functionality
you've mentioned.
