From: M on 11 Nov 2009 17:57 I am trying to set up a project plan for a highways scheme and would like the bar colour to change according to the task name. E.g. Design is green. I also have quite a few columns so would prefer to have a solution apart from creating a flag.

Hi, There are 20 flag fields and you can combine in Bar styles, e.g. Flag1, Not Flag2,Flag8. Thus there are 2^20 possibilities - far more then there are colors. So why not use flags? The alternative is to write a VBA procedure coloring each individual bar depending on programmed conditions. Is that what you are looking for? -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional +32 495 300 620 For availability check: http://users.online.be/prom-ade/Calendar.pdf <M P> wrote in message news:2009111117576mp10(a)hotmail.com... >I am trying to set up a project plan for a highways scheme and would like >the bar colour to change according to the task name.
