RE: gant chart

Hi Tom

The easiest way to change the start date of your project is to click on Project-Project Information, and choose the start date in the project start date combo box.

If however you want to alter the start date of individual tasks, then you can select the task in question and double click to open the task information dialog. On the advanced tab you can set a date constarint specifying when the task can start or finish.

This is however not recommended as it can cause scheduling conflicts.

Regards

Stephen

Ms project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
