>>    (a) Style A: Using bound controls - character strings as chart.
>>    (b) Style B: Using unbound controls - using label strips as chart.

>> overall time span from start of earliest task to finish of last task.
>> (Reference:  DAO 3.6).

>>    Note: In both styles, there is no limit to the number of activities
