Hi Joe,
In Project > Project Information, what is your status date? From
help:
------------------------------------------------------------
Description The Status field indicates the current status of a
task, specifying whether the task is Complete, On Schedule, Late, or
a Future Task.
How Calculated If the task is 100 percent complete, then Microsoft
Office Project 2003 sets the Status field to Complete.
If the task start date is greater than the status date, then the
Status field contains Future Task.
If timephased cumulative percent complete is spread to at least the
day before the status date, then the Status field contains On
Schedule.
If the timephased cumulative percent complete does not reach
midnight on the day before the status date, then the Status field
contains Late.
Best Uses Add the Status field to a task view when you want to
display, filter, or group by task status. Use the Status field in
conjunction with the Status Indicator field to get a graphical
indicator of task status.
Example You have a five-day task that starts on Monday and ends on
Friday. Today is Thursday, which is also the status date. The task
is 80 percent complete. The timephased Cumulative Percent Complete
field shows a value on Thursday, therefore the task is on schedule,
and On Schedule shows in the Status field.
If the task were only 40 percent complete, the timephased Cumulative
Percent Complete would show a value through Tuesday. The task would
be considered late, and Late would be displayed in the Status field.
-------------------------------------------------
If your status date is in the past, the task will show "On
schedule".
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
