Thanks for the reply. I had considered it but, unfortunately, the nature of the work objects makes a grid significantly more difficult to manipulate. They will be of different widths (visually representing the time allocated for the work unit) and need to be able to be moved to different time slots and/or workers (I use drag/drop with the containers and would need to simulate that in the grid). I may wind up doing it this way but I'm hoping for an easier implementation.
