project start and finish dates

M

Mike from MSU

I am doing my project time-line right now. I have all my summary tasks
linked together and all of the tasks under each summary task heading linked.
I also have a start and finish milestones. My project summary task gives me
a duration of 64 days but in the start and finish dates there are a bunch of
these > ######. Is there something that I am doing wrong, or maybe something
I am forgetting? Please let me know if there is anything I need to do in
order to get the project summary task to recognize the start and finish
dates. Thank you very much.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

The ### mean that there is not enough room in the column to show the data.
Move your cursor to the right margin of the column until you get a
left/right arrow. The double click, or single click and drag it wider.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
