Not exactly sure how to do it, I might need to experiment a little bit with that.

But what you want to do is create a dataset that has the information. Each column represents a day, and you fill the rows with the details for each column (DAY)

then you create a report for that dataset, and render it.

Hi there...

I haven't tried that, but it should be easy, simply you could

1- change the fill method used to fill the dataset to perform the filter

2- use binding source to filter the dataset, but I haven't tried that

also what do you mean by adding coulmn name? You could customize how the report looks without a problem. could you explain more?

As far as I could remember there used to be a function called bitblit - in vb6 - I assume that same function is also available in VB.NET. It provides fast copy operations between two images and allows you to specify transparency and stuff like that. I can't remember the details very well because I used that 9 years ago. But I am sure if you search msdn about it something would popup.
