PS2003 Not seeing complete check marks on prof portion

Hi all,

I am working with 2003. After accepting completed tasks, it does not
show the checkmark to the left of the task name when project prof pops
up. How do I make the checkmarks come back?

If you apply the Gantt Chart view, then click View - Table. What Table is
currently applied? Many of the default Tables, such as the Cost table or
Work table, do not include the Indicators column. If you apply the Entry
table, you should now see the Indicators column, and should see the check
marks as well. Let us know if this helps.

It is on entry and I have checkmarks from prior completed tasks so it
used to work at one time. I don't know what I did that would have
turned it off.

Well, then, try referring to the following FAQ:

Karen-

I'm not sure this applies to your situation, but when we have seen this, it
was due to work being assigned as fractional amounts. For example, a 5 hour
task over 3 days reflects as 1.666666 hours per day. Actuals were entered by
the resource as 1.66 hours per day and PWA said the task was complete. MS
Project didn't. There ended up being a tiny amount of remaining work
leftover. It wasn't visible in PWA since PWA only reflects 2 decimal places.
Same with MS Project. By looking at the Assignments table in the database,
we saw that there was .0066 hours remaining.

Now, we have run into training issues whereas some resources enter their
actuals exactly as assigned. Even if the resource really worked 2 hours, he
entered 1.66. Had he entered 2 hours, the assignment would have been
reflected as complete both in PWA and MS Project.

The only way we could "fix" this was to go into the Task Usage view for the
project, find the assignment, and enter 0 for remaining work. Then we
Republished and Overwrote work entered by the resource. This basically
"forced" the assignment to show as complete". Again, this may not be the
situation you are in, but I thought I would offer it.

Good luck!
Christina

Already selected. .
I checked out Christina's answer and found out under Task Usage I saw
the tasks as being 100% complete. I can't understand why I can't see
them in the GANTT chart.

Karen- Just to verify, are you looking at "% Work complete" or % Complete"?
If you open the task and look at the Percent Complete box in the General Tab,
does it indicate 100%? When you insert the "% Complete" column (in either
the Gantt view or Task Usage View), you are seeing 100%? If both cases are
true, then my theory doesn't apply.
