Mark as milestone

G

Glen Mettler

In the Task Information dialog box under the Advanced tab, I can check the
"Mark as Milestone" box to have a task displayed as a milestone on the Gantt
chart.
Problem is that it selects the start date. Is there a way to have it
default to the finish date?

TIA
Glen

Hi Glen,

Other than inserting a constraint date, change the constraint to As Late As
Possible.

Try posting this on the server newsgroup, as this one is closing down!

Hello Glen,

You can do that but it needs some work :
You have to create 2 different symbols (Format / Bar Styles) : one for each
kind of milestone : Duration = 0 and Duration > 0.
You have to create 2 Flag fields with formulas which test on "Milestone" and
on "Duration"
It's a little bit complicated to explain so that I prefer to send you this
little mpp file where you'll find everything.
Tell me if it helps !
