Time grouping

[awowen]

I have a user who wants a report which will pull schedule data from a Btreive db (using CR 8.5) and present it in "dayplanner" format. That is with "hour" rows and "15 minute" subdivisions. User also wants a two-hour meeting to span the proper number of rows.
Does anyone have a clue as to how to get started with this?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you might share what Dayplanner format means, it's been over 15 years since I used such a thing.

At any rate it will probably be tricky, but breaking out the 15 minute increments isn't too bad.

Also how your data is stored will make a big difference also.

Thanks for the response.
The calendar display in Outlook is similar to what I'm looking for. If an appointment spans two hours it shows that block of time occupied.
Unfortunately the data is contained in a Btreive db so relations are a little strange. Data retrieval though is Ok, I just need a way to display it in the desired format. The user does not need any additional functionality.
