RE: colour of gant chart bars

Hi Kevin,

The quickest way to do this is by double clicking on the chart bar, this will bring up a "Format Bar" dialogue box, in here, make sure you are in the first tab called "Bar Shape" you will see the colour at the bottom and here you have the options of changing the colours.

Hope this helps

Tracy
