From: DonnaO on 30 Mar 2010 14:48 Hi. I'm currently using Project 2003. Is it possible to change gantt chart bar colours automatically to indicate whether a task is not yet started, in progress, completed or behind schedule? Any help very welcome.
From: Jan De Messemaeker on 30 Mar 2010 15:02 Hi, Yes, all of that is possible - you will need formulas in flag fields.See for more FAQ 31 in http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional +32 495 300 620 For availability check: http://users.online.be/prom-ade/Calendar.pdf "DonnaO" <DonnaO(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:568C89E5-A0C1-4793-BD45-1301806D775C(a)microsoft.com... > Hi.

Bars are tied to flag fields. Just create flag fields to flag tasks as per whatever status you would like. Then double click on the Gantt Chart and add an item to format a task. The criteria would look something like ....for "Critical, Flag1" or "Normal, Not Flag1."
