Project 07, want to see gantt on open

[Bg]

Hi,

When I open an MS Project document, in the Gantt view, I see the work
breakdown structure to the left but over on the right I do not see the gantt
- I see several months of nothingness while the actual gantt is 'hiding' off
to the right.

I can scroll over to see the gantt just fine, but I would like the project
to open with the left end (starting point) of the gantt in plain sight.

The project start date is set to just a few days ago, and the first task is
actually a milestone task and it correctly shows the task start date as the
project start date.

Is there a way to setup Project so that I can see the same gantt view as
when I saved/closed the file the last time?

Thanks!

Hi Bg,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Well.... Project should open a project with the same view as it was closed.
I tried a variety of changes to a trial project, and it opened as I left it
each time. Is this a project started in an earlier version of Project?
Have you tried a new trial project to see if that is the same? Does it
happen with other projects?

Hi Mike,

Funny you should mention 'previous version'. Because I work in a corporate
environment, and therefore it may be some time before others have the latest
version, I have Project 2007 setup to save all files in the previous version.

I just attempted to save a project in '07 format and re-open it, and it did
still behaves the same.

Was that a brand new project you just created in 2007? If so, I can only
recommend you try the diagnostics in the Help menu, and/or a re-install of
Project.
