look ahead with correct Gantt chart

[swell estimator]

I've done my first look-ahead schedule but the Gantt chart to the right of
the Tasks Table (and what is the correct term?) starts at the beginning of
the project and I want it to represent the filtered-date range of the tasks
that occur in that date range only.

Can it be done? thank you, Swell

Sure, we'll give you an "A" on vocabulary or you can call it "The
graphical portion of the Gantt Chart."

You can manually scroll the horizontal slider at the bottom of the Gantt
Chart to meet your needs. You may also format the timescale (right click on
the timescale, format timescale). When printing, the Print Dialog box will
let you print a date range (File/Print...) and specify the dates you desire.

Do a print preview to make sure you are getting what you want.

Advanced: Press F5 and key a date or a task ID. The Gantt Chart scrolls to
that date. Or, Select a task and press the "Go to Task" icon (to the left of
the camera and to the right of the magnifying glass on the Stamdard Toolbar).

That is my overcaffinated response.

Hello swell,

If you are trying to print the schedule, the File > Print command
allows you to specify the date range. If you are just viewing the
schedule, sorry it will always show the entire date range from 1983
to 2049.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

swell estimator,

Have you tried to use the "Date Range..." filter
