looking for method to create 4 month (top row - day & date) and room numbers
(side column) to chart last names by arrival and departure dates. The visual
would be color coded and cells merged to represent stays of guests at a
particular property in a particular room. An example would be found at
www.chartallco.com which is the current method we use. I built an access
database to manage our guests, but must still use paper chart and tape
because I cannot figure it out
 
I can implement a reservation tape in your database for you. It will look
like Chartalico's paper tape.

Steve,
Are you advertising? I'm offering free assistance which is the basis for
public news groups. The sample that I suggested has a gantt type chart that
can be adapted to meet the needs of the OP.
 
So why don't you, Arno R or John Marshall implement it for the OP for free?

Wow. You just don't get it do you. These newsgroups are for free
technical support. Soliciting work isn't allowed.

So why don't I what? Give advice and assistance for free? That's exactly what
I do. My samples are free and my assistance is free in the public news groups
and other forum. I have posted over 9,000 replies in Tek-Tips alone at a rate
of about 200 per month. I have not solicited in any of these postings.

I have also accepted MDBs from people and spent hours assisting them outside
of the NGs for free. In none of these instances did I ever ask for money.

The key word here is "free". Apparently you don't understand that.
 
So why don't you implement a reservation chart in the Op's database for him
for free?

So why didn't you tell the OP to send you his database and you would
implement a reservation chart for him for free?

That's not what the OP asked for. He/she asked for assistance and I provided
assistance (free). The sample I suggested has a report with beginning and
ending dates in a chart. If you haven't scared away the OP, I will continue
offering support.

I just looked out on my web server and I do have at least 4 zipped MDB files
that I put out there based on threads from public news groups (free).

You are just not getting it. The news groups aren't for people looking for
others to perform work for them. They are for people who have questions and
want to learn how to use Access. There are other places on the web where you
can either post work needed or offered (not for free).

If this thread were to stay on topic with the required chart and the OP
wasn't understanding, I would do what I usually do in those cases: offer to
accept a copy of their MDB with requirements and provide a working sample
back to them (for free). This never happens until the NG system of
communication just doesn't seem to be working.

I have taken on about 2 small projects in the past 10 years based on my
participation here. The OP always contacts me first and generally must
exhaust the (free) NG system.
 
The Op said he is "looking for method to create 4 month (top row - day &
date) and room numbers
(side column) to chart last names by arrival and departure dates." Further
he said he can not figure it out. He didn't ask for assistance; he asked for
a solution. I offered a solution. You, on the otherhand told an OP who may
not know what questions to ask, to ask questions. And now you are saying
that every OP who wants help must ask questions in the newsgroup ad
infinitum and you still can't guarantee him a solution in the end. I offered
the OP a solution that guarantees a solution in the end. The OP is free to
accept or reject my offer. The key word here is "free".

So you ignored the OP rather than offer him a solution!

I offered the OP a solution!!

Twit! You're always playing games aren't you.

So let me be quite explicit. Your posting is ignored.
I offered the OP a solution!!

For a fee. In a newsgroup for free technical support. Which is bad
netiquette and against the rules.

Steve, you are severely troubled. Should we talk to Father Monty on your
behave?

The OP came as most come, looking for free help. I offered free help and you
offered paid help. It's that simple. If you can't understand that, you need
to get professional help.

"I only offer fee-based help to very few isolated posters.
I judiciously chose who to offer fee-based help to based on whether it appears highly unlikely that the poster will get a solution from the newsgroup."
