I,m trying to ste up a job bar chart showing the anticipated flow of a project,scheduling all trades.i,m and used to doing this by hand with highlighters,any suggestions of how and what software to do this by computer.

thx

Microsoft Project works well for this. It's a bit pricey though. Primavera is a good one too but you will pay dearly for that!

I tried to make one in Exell a while ago, and gave up. Yeah, "Project" is hip, and really pricey!
