Bar Colours in MS Project 2003

[M P]

I am trying to set up a project plan for a highways scheme and would like the bar colour to change according to the task name. E.g. Design is green. I also have quite a few columns so would prefer to have a solution apart from creating a flag.

Hi,

There are 20 flag fields and you can combine in Bar styles, e.g. Flag1, Not
Flag2,Flag8.
Thus there are 2^20 possibilities - far more then there are colors.
So why not use flags?
The alternative is to write a VBA procedure coloring each individual bar
depending on programmed conditions.
Is that what you are looking for?
