ghant chart dates

[Linda]

when yu open up a file with a ghant chart sometimes the chart is out
of the viewing area and you have to scroll over but it prints the
right area - I want it to open up automatically to view the chart
without scrolling over ???

Hi,

First check your project's start date. If it's early, then setting it to the
date of the first task to start may fix it.

You can also have a Project_Open macro that jumps to today's date or the
date of the project start.
In Project:
Alt+F11 to display the visual basic environment
Ctrl+R to display the project
Double-click ThisProject
Enter the following code to jump to the project start date
Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
Application.EditGoTo Date:=Date
End Sub

Enter the following code to jump to the project's start date.
Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
Application.EditGoTo Date:=ActiveProject.ProjectStart
End Sub

Linda,

Try the combination of 2 function keys on your keyboard :
- Press ALT and hit the HOME key to jump to the begining of you project (on
the timescale)
- Press ALT and hit the END key to jump to the end of you project (on the
timescale)

Hope this helps,
