I'd be interested in seeing Ian's solution when it comes out. In the past I have used Chart FX on a Win NT server which has is very flexible and does a great job. We used it to create a real-time view of a range of maintenance logs on all of the elevators under service contracts with Australia's top elevator manufacturer - updated out of their SAP database driven maintenance system. It was very cool.
see http://www.softwarefx.com Didn't integrate it with Tango at the time though so I don't know if it will cover your needs. cheers Garth At 09:45 29/07/02 -0700, you wrote: >Ian Danials from New Creation Consulting has been developing a product >called Spitfire Charts.
