Hi all.

I have a client enquiry for a hire solution which must show timelines (days, weeks, months) for hire or rental items such as cars in a graphical way.

I could not find sample file or even a ready commercial solution until now and would be pleased if anybody knows about such a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings

Such timelines are not difficult to make, it's the user interaction that bothers:

...could get you somewhere, if you hessitate from developing it yourself. One key to it is making trains of webdings, in various colours as mergefields. The trick is to make first mergefield word the same colour as the background, to push or offset the following in the train.

I do often use Substitute(10^x-1;"9";"g") where x gives the number of massiv blocks of either blanks or fully coloured.

This is the graphical part of the solution, then is there the relational stuff behind, which honestly shouldn't be neglected...

This template gives a lot of answers to how to deal with a rental shop, when it grows out of "one colour for each car in iCal"

This is good help Søren. I will take a look into the template and work out, how to utilise the functionality for the car hire chart.
