Default Computer question

I want to have a calendar, on my pc, which will display events over a year,
graph style.

I'm sure this is a simple thing to do but I don't know how.

Any techies here who can put it in easy language?

Mary

Surely as and when you can make a valid contribution to the group may be
the time to comments on posts that don't meet your approval.

Until then perhaps it would be best if you just go back to saying and
doing nothing.

IMHO of course.

You want someone to code this up for you or you want to hack something
together yourself?
If the latter, M$Excel is probably the simplest solution

I can't work Excel but I have several grandchildren who can. I'll see if it
works.

Do you have Outlook?
It does what you want if I understand what you want.

Click the calendar button, then choose the view you want in the Current
View entry of the View menu.

Failing that, loads of freeware ones to choose from:

I went to Outlook and hit Calendar but I can't see a way of getting what I
want.

I want to mark a particular event which happens every couple of weeks or so
into a graph form so that its regularity or otherwise can easily be seen.

I could do it with a & b axes on graph paper but I don't want to have to do
it with pencil and paper (because I'd lose it).

Outlook has a timeline view but I don't think it will scale over many
months.
It works OK with weekly and monthly views.
It shows things like when an email/telephone call is received.. when you
replied..

I think the excel graph mentioned by Owain is probably the easiest but it
still requires you the enter the data.

Oh I think I'm capable of doing that :-)

That is, unless my condition's symptoms become full-time ... :-(

um. Sounds very complicated - as though I'd have to use a language. I'm no
good at that, never have been. I use Dreamweaver for our website because I
need wisiwig:-(

I know when I'm beat - I first tried writing a basic program on a BBC
machine. and several others since then.

Sorry, I thought you wanted a DIY solution. Someone suggested Excel and
on second thoughts I agree with them (better than VB). But I think you'd
still need to do some of it in VBA.

Unfortunately DW's wysiwyg (note spelling) won't show you what everyone
*else* gets, which is the important thing after all.

I keep looking at it myself. Have to to make sure it's up to date. It's just
a product list.

That's good, but what I meant was, DW's wysiwyg won't show you what your
pages look like in the entire range of browsers, versions, screen sizes,
and other settings that your potential customers will be using. If it's
just a product list and you keep it simple, it might well be OK, but for
anything more complicated you should keep a close eye on the code behind
the wysiwyg. DW can help with its "Target Browser Check" report, but you
need a decent grasp of HTML and possibly CSS to make good use of the
results.

I'm helping a friend get started in web design with Microsoft Expression
Web, which also encourages wysiwyg design. His first effort looked great
in Expression Web and IE, but you should have seen his face fall when I
showed him what it looked like in Firefox. I hope you won't have that
problem but it's important to be aware of its existence.

I think there are some blood pressure trackers kicking about the web in
