[Lee]

Can you change the appearence of of the task bars by assigning a resource. ie when assigning Bill to a task all Bill's tasks change to green. When assigning Mary to a task all Mary's task change to pink etc etc

Hello Lee,
Yes, it's possible, but that needs some work :

For each resource (I hope you don't have hundreds of resources...) you have
to create a custom field from a Flag field :

For Bill, insert the Flag1 field in any table : Insert / Column....
Right click on the Flag1 caption / Cutomize Fields...
Rename : Bill for ex.
Formula : IIf(InStr(1;[Resource Names];"Bill");-1;0)

Now, you'll have to create a specific bar for each resource in the Gantt
Chart
Format / Bar Styles...
Create a new bar similar to the blue Task bar, the main diference is :
Show For : Normal;Flag1
Choose the color you want.

Tell us if it works !
