Diffent color for tasks

[Vivek Somani]

Is there a way in which i can define a rule so that all tasks "Slipped by
more than 1 day" appear in RED Color, All completed tasks appear in "Green"
etc etc..

Visual cues is better than hunting for Completion check mark in the project
plan...

Any idea how to accomplish this ??

Thanks in advance

Hello Vivek,
It's not possible to "calculate" the color of the task name font. But you
can do that for the bar styles:
Insert a custom field such as Flag1 and set a formula such as:
IIf([Finish Variance]/[Minutes Per Day]>1;True;False)
Tools / Customize / Fields... / Rename.. Formula....

Then, Format / Bar styles...
Create a new bar with the red color. Show For : Normal;Flag1

Hope this helps,

True, but I forgot to specify that it's possible to do that with a VBA
procedure.
