Create timebeams with .width and .left commands.

[Guest]

Hello Experts,

MS Access 2002.
I'am trying to create timebeams in a report. I think I'am almost there but
there seems to be some bug, ore something like that.
The idea is that I create a timeline as a reference line. Then with the VBA
commands .left and .width I place the timebeams under it.
The problem is that some beams stick to the same position as the beam right
above them (only if that last one is large). Do you know what causes that
problem?
If it's necessary I will sent you the dbs, it's zipped about 30kb. Then you
can see that some beams with different date's start at the same point.

Thanks already.

There is a sample mdb with a report like this at
http://www.invisibleinc.com/divFiles.cfm?divDivID=4 in the calendar reports.

Most of the users here, like me, are reluctant to accept and open databases
that could prove to contain malicious code when opened and executed.

I am not familiar with the term "timebeam", but am guessing that it is a
line or bar on a report that should line up with the points on a reference
timeline and run from a "start point" to a "stop point"... as perhaps,
something to create a GANNT chart?
