Katie,
Since you posted to the Microsoft Project group I assume you want some
type of numeric indicator to tell how many days there are between the
current date and a selected milestone (i.e. event) on a Project plan. I
don't recall any exiting fields (I don't have Project open at the
moment) that will give the answer directly but there are a couple of
methods you can use that come to mind. The first is to set up a formula
in one of the spare Duration fields. Depending on whether you want
working days or calendar days, use either the "DateDiff" or
"ProjDateDiff" formula. If you use a spare duration field you won't need
to divide the result by 480 (minutes in a standard 8 hour work day). A
second method is to use a simple VBA macro that runs automatically with
the Open Event and displays the result in a message box.
