showing a milestone in a summary bar

[andy]

Hi - i am trying to do something very simple!! - i would like to show a
milestone in a summary bar.
the summary consists of 5 linked tasks the 3rd is a milestone. I have
selected the summary line and gone to Project/Task Information/General tab.
and checked the "show rolled up Gantt bars" I did the same for the ID the
milestone is on - nothing has changed - i then thought if i changed the bar
style for the milestone to include "rolled up" that would help but this just
hid the milestone from inside the task.

what have i done wrong

Hi there.

If you double click on the task name and go to the general tab, there is a
selection box to check, "roll up Gantt bar to summary". Check this is
selected too.

There are other ways to force milestones to appear at the summary level. You
can include flag fields in the bar styles definition and calculate the flag
results based on a formula to automate the process.

Hope this helps,

Matthew
