Gantt Chart Fmpro

This is an upgrade to Gantt Chart for FmPro which I posted in 1988. Here is a FileMaker Pro solution to the challenge of charting, as bars graphed over time, a series of dated events, across a page beginning at the left side with the earliest beginning date and ending with the latest ending date of any of the bars. This is a Gantt chart. There are other Gantt charting solutions but the flexibility and ubiquity of FileMaker Pro makes it useful to be able to do Gantt charts directly in FileMaker. NEW in version 2.0 * Now handles up to 4 distinct event intervals for each record. So if you want to graph U.S. Presidents' terms of office, you can display Grover Cleveland's two noncontiguous terms on a single line with a break in between. Or you could graph the leadership of Apple Computer without having to have two records for Steve Jobs. * Now comes with a convenient second file, "Gantt Source", in which data can be entered, imported, or set via script from your other FileMaker files. Each line in Gantt Source is a record consisting of a name, Start Date, and End Date. Other fields are available for optional use to describe data further. A script in Gantt Source places the data in Gantt Chart, creating a second, third, and/or fourth interval as it comes across records in Gantt Source that have the same name as an existing record in Gantt Chart. Gantt Source is completely unprotected, so you can define new fields, relationships, scripts, and layouts, and incorporate it into your existing solutions. Gantt Chart has the field definitions and relationships protected, but scripts and layouts can still be edited. A pair of two-way relationships between the two files links them by item Name and by a "universal pivot" that lets you set global field values.
