Residential Builder Gantt Chart in Excel

I am looking to use Excel to develop a gantt chart style form for a
residential builder that would show each step in the building process along
the left, with the ability to pick start and end dates (from a pop up
calendar), and to the right of that have it show the days of the week
(Monday thru Friday) with a colored bar to indicate the start and end dates
selected for the task.

I've seen a vendor product that does this similarly, and the app opens up in
Excel so I believe it is merely a fancy excel spreadsheet. I've done quite
a bit with Excel but nothing to this degree. I'd like to develop this for a
friend of mine because the vendor product is obviously not customizable.

Any thoughts or ideas would be of assistance.

Thank you.

R,
I have a small, simple Microsoft workbook chart example from about 7 years ago.
It demonstrates a floating bars Gantt-style timeline chart for a project schedule.
It has some limited notes and explanatory material. (no calendar popup)
I don't believe MS still has it available for download.
Glad to send you a copy if you are interested.
Remove XXX from my email address.

R,

Assuming your posted email address is correct, I will send the workbook
as soon as my RCN mail server is running. It has been down now about
14 hours (it is being improved?).
