	I presume you want to do it on a computer? MSProject is designed with Gantt charts in mind. In a pinch, Excel will do nicely. There also appear to be some free programs on the 'net (Google gnatt chart). (If you literally mean "draw", a straight edge and some colored pencils should be all you need.) __________________ Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem.

	I use MSProject extensively. Its fairly intuitive and easy to use. __________________ Emergency night landings...as you approach the ground, turn on your landing lights. If you like what you see, leave 'em on. If not...turn 'em off.

	Microsoft Project We update our American, Mexican, German, and UK customers, as well as others with MS Project. I've had between 85 - 225 projects at a given time, and this software is quick to learn, easy to use and keep organized. I highly recommend it.

	I thought so too. See that little button at the bottom left corner of his post? The one marked "RATE"? Click on that, and you can vote him a "Good Answer" for it. __________________ Veni, vidi, video - I came, I saw, I got it on film.

	Hello EnviroMan: hope you're OK?..........Thanks for advising 'elliman', not sure of the spelling, sorry elliman............... I was not aware I had helped elliman in any way. Unless, as I said to him, he was the original poster on this thread whom had not signed in? Thanks anyway.......... __________________ Take it easy, bb. >"HEAR & you FORGET<>SEE & you REMEMBER<>DO & you UNDERSTAND"<=$=\|O\|=$=>"Common Sense is Genius dressed in its Working Clothes"<>[Ralph Waldo Emerson]

	I am fine, hope you are too. I think maybe he was the OP, but in any event you seemed to have helped him. Good job! __________________ Veni, vidi, video - I came, I saw, I got it on film.

	Hello EnviroMan: maybe he is the OP? Thanks for this short post. I was not really sure if I had helped him/her, or if the 'wee-wee' was being extracted? Thanks anyway. __________________ Take it easy, bb. >"HEAR & you FORGET<>SEE & you REMEMBER<>DO & you UNDERSTAND"<=$=\|O\|=$=>"Common Sense is Genius dressed in its Working Clothes"<>[Ralph Waldo Emerson]

	Hello ELEMAN: I thank you for your kind words....................But, did I support you? Are you writer of the original thread, who had not signed in? I am never too sure if praise aimed my way is good, or is there a little 'wee-wee' coming my way as well? No offence OK? I do my best whatever, and if I can help via copy and pasting a page or two that is of use, easy stuff to do, you know? __________________ Take it easy, bb. >"HEAR & you FORGET<>SEE & you REMEMBER<>DO & you UNDERSTAND"<=$=\|O\|=$=>"Common Sense is Genius dressed in its Working Clothes"<>[Ralph Waldo Emerson]
