Project 2007 - summary tasks non displaying %

Hi,

I have a couple of issues with Project 2007.

1) Project is not showing the % comlplete in the summary tasks.

2) When I update the percentage complete in the table (I.e. from 0 to 50%), projects it still displays 0%.
If I split the screen and update the % complete from there it works.

Any idea?
Are you aware of any bug in Project 2007?

Thanks

Enrico

RE: Project 2007 - summary tasks non displaying %

Hi Enrico

For the summary tasks, go to FORMAT, BAR STYLES and choose SUMMARY from the left hand column.

Then click the TEXT tab below, and from the drop down button next to RIGHT, choose % COMPLETE. That should solve the problem.

As for point 2, I cannot understand this. It may be a problem with your own software. Are you using a Beta version? You could try re-installing or better still contact Microsoft themselves at www.microsoft.com

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
