Hello,
I want to find start dates=23/02/2004.However Ms Project finds only one of
them and ignores others. Why? why? why?

Hello,
Is tested it right now and it worked fine for me.
But are you sure that these Start Date + Time are exactly the same ? Display
the time beside the date :
Tools / Options / Views / Date format : something with12:33

Date format is correct. Dates are listed one under another. It finds the
date which is in the middle. I do not understand. I can send you file if
you want.

Hi Burcu,
OK, send me the file. Remove the NOSPAM on my email address.

Brucu,
As I saisd in a previous post, your Start Date + Time are *NOT* exactly the
same !
Display the time beside the date :
Tools / Options / Views / Date format : something with12:33
So you can see that Task 4 and task 20 begin on 23/02/04 at 09:00

Task 19 begins at 11:00
Task 21 begins at 15:00
Task 22 begins at 16:00...
So the "Find Next" feature can't find them. (Your calendar hours begin at
9:00)

You woul have better to use a filter :
Project / Filtered for / More Filters / New
- Field Name : Start
- Test : equals
- Values : "Start date : "?

Another point : almost all you tasks have date constraint ! You don't use
dependencies such as Finish to start (FS), Start to Start (SS)....

Thank you.it takes time for me to understand it really.
But again, i want to find tasks that are on that day for example. The time
is not important for me. Should I write a macro that return results between
23/02/2003 and 24/02/2003. Anyway I will try.
Thank you again.

A macro isn't usefull, a simple filter can do that :


Project / Filtered for / More Filters / New
- Field Name : Start
- Test : equals
- Values : "Start date : "?
