Gantt Bars appear to be offset

[James Arundell]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with Project which must be simple to fix by
changing a setting but I can't find it anywhere.

Currently all bars on my Gantt chart start a day later than they
should. e.g. the start date for the task is a monday morning but when
compared to the scale across the top the bar start point is at the line
between Monday/ Tuesday which gives the impression it is starting
Tuesday morning. I would like the bar to start inline with
Sunday/Monday.

The end date on the bars however is correct.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem.

Many Thanks

James

James,
First I would check to see the time of the Start field. You can do this
simply by going to Tools/Options/View and temporarily selecting a date
that includes the time. You might just find that tasks are starting at
the end of the day on Monday.

The next thing to check is the calendars of the resources assigned to
the tasks. If the resources don't start until Tuesday, then that's when
the task will start.

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Right-click on the Gantt chart and select Layout... and then Round bars to
whole days.
