Percentage complete won't go to 100%

I have viewed all of the duration, work and % columns. Everything shows 100%, when you filter to show only incomplete tasks nothing shows up, (which is right). However when you view the statistics under project information it shows 99% complete. Am I missing something obvious that needs to be updated?

I have seen this behavior when one or more milestones are not marked as 100%
complete. Just for fun, temporarily insert the % Complete column to the
right of the Task Name column and then click the AutoFilter button on the
Formatting toolbar. Click the AutoFilter drop down arrow on the % Complete
column and see if there is any choice on the AutoFilter list other than
100%. If there is anything other than 100%, such as 0%, then select that
option. I'll bet that it reveals a milestone not marked as complete. Let
me know if this helps.

The other thing you might look for is resources assigned to summary tasks.
Apply the Gantt Chart view with the Entry table applied, and then drag the
vertical split bar all the way to the right. Examine the Resource Names
column to determine if you have resources assigned to any summary tasks. If
you do, remove them, as resources should never be assigned to summary tasks.

0%. However I still have summary tasks that show 98% and 99% complete, but
all of the sub-tasks are 100%. Could it be tasks that were deleted from the
project? Thanks for your help.100%, when you filter to show only incomplete tasks nothing shows up, (which

Dale, I want to thank you for all of your help. However I did check my summary tasks to ensure I didn't have any resources assigned to them and in fact I don't. Any other ideas. Thanks again.
