>>>Do any of the samples at http://www.exontrol.com/gallery.jsp appear to be a candidate for what you are trying to implement? The "rooms" could be items in the treeview on the left, with the specific appointments as the "child" items... or the assigned personnel could be the child or subchild items in fact. Or you could use a tab control above the gantt control and populate the tabs programmatically with the list of "rooms" available, then use that as a filter (although that could get ugly with a lot of rooms). Or use their "outlook" toolbar to list the rooms.<<<

I strongly recommend you to save a waste of 480$ and to nuse use ActiveGantt. I also liked their interface and class structure, and the fact that it worked with VFP, but there is no support whatsoever for the product, nor bug fixes. I found some bugs that made the use of the control obsolete for me, and bought exontrol's gantt instead.
