Why are't my new milestones showing as such on the Gantt Chart?

[Meg]

They are 0d duration.

 

[Gérard Ducouret]

Haven't you any active filter ?

 

[Meg]

The schedule is filered for All Tasks. I've also checked in Project
Information/Advanced to make sure the mark as milestone box is ticked. They
just aren't on the Gantt Chart. There isn't anything where the black diamond
would usually be!?

 

[Gérard Ducouret]

Meb,

In the Format / Bar Styles dialog, does the Milestone symbol is still there
?

Gérard Ducouret

 

[Meg]

Yes it's a black diamond. I have other milestones which are showing. It's
just these new ones...

Hi Meg,

Pardon me for bumping in -- is it possible the milestones are just
far left in the timescale and not currently in your view? When
adding new tasks, by default they are placed back at the start date
of the project until you create the task relationships. If you
click on the newly added task in the list and click the Go To
Selected task button, are they now in view?

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

Did you click Hide task bar in task information ?

[Meg]

Hi,

They are definatily not out of site and the Hide Task bar box is not checked.

I really don't get it!

Hi Meg,

If you'd care to zip the file and email it to me. I'll take a look
and see if I can figure out this oddity. My email is prjng [at]
maine dot rr dot com.

remove spaces and replace the [at] with an @ and the dot with .
