Start date

Hi,

It's easy to enter a start date for some task, but is it possible to start a
task in the afternoon. For example, start date is 10/11/2007 2pm and some
finish date.

Thank you,
Koen

Koen --

You should avoid manually entering Start dates and Finish dates for tasks,
since doing so causes the software to set a constraint on the task.
Instead, set task dependencies and enter Durations to allow the software to
schedule the tasks. If you absolutely MUST set a Start date, you can
manually enter both the date and the time in the Start field. Even though
you cannot see the time, the software uses that information to schedule the
task. Hope this helps.

Dale,

Thank you, that helped me!
Maybe, i can set the date format of the Start date column to see also the
starttime ?

Click Tools - Options. On the View tab, click the Date Format pick list and
select the format with both date and time. This will show the date and time
for every field containing a date, including the Start field. Hope this
helps.
