I'd be interested in hearing of any such tools as well, since it's a problem
that
we're finding as well.
At the moment, the best we've got is a Visio smart drawing that I cobbled
together
in a spare five minutes.
All the data has to be entered manually since to do otherwise would require more
knowledge of VBA/ODBC than I have at the moment ( = 0 ).
I'm now thinking that a nice Perl script using the Perl/Tk or GD/Graph modules
would
be a way better solution, (cross platform for a start). I'll probably have a go
at that
when work permits. [or should we all drop a BIG hint to Tivoli ;-) ]
Failing that, anyone know of a tool that allows time-based bar charts on
hour/minute
scales? Microsoft Project doesn't appear to.

Bob Cross.
