How can I highlight overdue tasks in MS Project

[Nicks]

Is there any easy way to highlight (e.g. turn them red) any tasks that are
past their due date and not 100% complete. We've got quite a big project
plan and it would be great just to scan it and be able to easily pick out
those that are overdue...

Thanks,
Nic

Hello Nic,

You'll find the Status field or Status Indicator field shows that
information and is as easy as adding the field(s) to a table.

It will not turn tasks red (that would require some VBA programming I
believe).

See help on the Status field or Status Indicator and let us know if you
have any additional questions.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Additionaly, if you want to focus on fewer than all the tasks place deadlines on milestones
or tasks that represent landmarks in your business idea.
A red triangle will appear in the Information column whenever a task crosses it's deadline.
