I need a timeline similar to this, that I saw in another post.
(I'm a newbie to this forum, and for some reason, the link to a similar chart is not showing when I submit this post. Hence, I am morphing the link a bit so as to try to get it to show in this thread)

The difference is that I need to have data coming in via odbc connection, and each time the data is refreshed, then the timeline chart is updated to reflect the new data.

Incoming data will include Start Time, Event Title, Event Description.
The time line I need would be approximately 72 hours.
The past 24 hours
The present 24 hours
24 hours in the future..

This will be used to show a list of all Change events that have taken place, are taking place, and are scheduled to take place. Times and Change Event Titles will be coming via odbc from our Change Mgmt System.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks much,
Stacy Whetzell
