Having followed up the MS PowerPoint suggestion from Roger, i have managed to find a Managers toolbox for PowerPoint which is an add-in for MS PowerPoint 2000 & 2003. This enables you to create Gantt charts in seconds, simply create a slide with a 3 column table then add description in C1, start date in C2 and end date in C3
Then select the gantt chart command from the management menu to create a new slide with a timeline chart.
Thanks for the pointer Roger

Use a graphics package, such as PowerPoint to present your claim, not Primavera or similar. You can then show simply the history for each isometric in one bar space. Supporting this, you can have a series of tables shown the dates of submissions/approvals for each isometric with the delay against the approved design schedule, calculated by your programme analyses, alongside.
Claim presentation is all about simple presentation. The person you are trying to persuade is the Engineer/Contract Administrator who probably is not a planner.

Thanks Roger, ive had a similar discussion with our IT guy, as all the raw data for progress measurement comes into P3 via an access database.
Does anybody know if you can export Access data directly into a powerpoint slide ????

I think the nearest you would get would be to define a series of user defined fields, with a seperate bar style for each. Very messy.
