Gantt Charts

[melanie]

I realise you can get plug-ins for FileMaker in order to be able to produce graphs, but has anyone had any experience of creating a Gantt Chart? Or are there any plug-ins that will create one? Gantt charts show various tasks, who is doing them and how long they take in terms of hours and when they will be completed. The list of tasks will be listed vertically, with the timescale in hours/days/months etc, horizontal. Thus the task will be shown by a small horizontal line in the correct time period, possibly with the persons initials alongside. This information is already entererd into an existing FileMaker file (FM Pro 5), but I am looking for some way of translating this into a visual Gantt chart.

If anyone could help me with this request I would be very grateful indeed.

Thank you all and I look forward to hearing from someone!!

I'm starting a project that requires a gantt chart and I've been looking into xmCHART by X2max software. The latest version, 1.5v4, supports gantt charts. I haven't used it yet but it looks like the best solution. I'll forward an email to you with links to the demo.
