It's more about the presentation and the form design. How do I present a timeline with the facility to enter items into it. I can't think of a nice way of doing it - or even a horrible one!What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostThis will probably be pretty basic to most, but I'm struggling with this.
I have been asked to put together a database (access) to track the projects here. One of the things they want to do is to be able to specify resources and then assign them to the various projects.
I'm struggling the think of a way to struture and present this. There will be a %age utilisation by person per month.
Any ideas? Has anybody done anything like this in the past? I did ask why they wouldn't use Project but they were not interested.
