Marking a Milestone 100% Complete via PWA

[Jeremy Jensen]

Anyone know how to mark a Milestone 100% complete via PWA? I tried simply
entering 0 hrs into Actual Work column in the tasks view, but after the PM
accepted the task update it still said 0% complete in Project Professional
2003.

Jeremy,

Set Remaining Work to 0 and Actual Work to the number of hours actually spent, assuming you're using hours work tracking.

Do you know what tracking setting is being used for your installation?

OK. I'll try that. I entered 0 for remaining work and 0 for actual work.

We're using hours in PWA, not percent complete.

Thanks for your help.

Jeremy,

Sorry. I didn't read your post carefully enough. I see now that you're troubled by milestones, not regular tasks. I'll have to check into this.

Jeremy --

The only way to do this from within PWA is to assign yourself to a small
token amount of work on the milestone task, such as 1 hour of Work. Then
enter 1 hour of Actual Work on the day the milestone was actually achieved.
Hope this helps.

We just fixed this problem by installing SP1 for MS Project Pro.
There is a chance that SP1 does not fix the problem, if this happens apply
hot fix 891648 (SP1 must be on before you apply the hot fix).
