2.5.2
Fixed an issue with weekly based Gantt bars not having the correct alignment with the header.
08-Mar-08
2.5.1
Major Update: New Function - Added the ability to display stacked Gantt bars for standard tasks (see user manual and new interface information in sample database). Fixed an issue with "Month By Week" incorrectly generating the header if one of the  task start dates was before the first Monday of the month (eg task start 01/01/2008). Fixed a minor error with the calculation of the length of some Gantt bars under certain conditions. Enhanced the label layout options on the interface 'ConstructGanttBar' and the new interface, above, 'ConstructGanttBarStacked', specifically for the date based options. Changed the layout (number of sub-divisions) on some of the Gantt date bands to make the sub-division a little more intuitive (ie Quarterly changed from 4 to 3 so that each is now a month). Note, this change WILL AFFECT your current reports.
22-Feb-08
2.4.0
New Function - added two new date bands to the builder. The new bands are both "monthly by week" with slightly different layout styles. These are both accessed via the same mechanism in the interface, see the sample database for examples.
18-Feb-07
2.3.0
New Function, allowed the Gantt Configuration table to have more than 1 row, and added a configuration parameter to the 'GanttInitialise' function to allow you to define which record will be used. This allows you control over the colours to be used based on some other information you have stored or calculated. Also, updated the Configuration Form to handle multiple records.

Added watermarks to the evaluation version of the software.
12-May-05
2.1.1.
Fixed an "Object Library Feature Not Supported" error under some installations of Access 2000 and 20002/XP. This did not always happen but under certain circumstances would appear. The issue deals with late/early binding of data objects. Note, there are no functional changes in this release.

Enhanced the interface so that the user/report designer can control the labels shown on the chart's header instead of the standard JanFeb.... These are controlled via the  two new interface'SetMonthLabels' and 'SetWeekLabels'.  
Enhanced the interface 'ConstructGanttHeader' so it now takes two new optional parameters. These now allow you to control the font size of the chart's header text.
