The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
 * Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, version 4.0

-

SYMPTOMS
In the Gantt Chart Wizard, if you choose No when prompted to display critical tasks while creating a Custom Gantt Chart, Microsoft Project will not draw rolled up bars for critical tasks.

RESOLUTION
To have a rolled-up bar appear for both critical tasks and non-critical tasks, use any of the following methods:

Method 1
This procedure is useful if the color of the rolled-up bar for all tasks will be the same (that is, there is no indication of critical versus noncritical).


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Bar Styles.
 * 2) Edit the Rolled Up Task line's Show For ... Tasks entry to read Normal, Rolled up, Not Summary.
 * 3) Choose OK.

Method 2
This procedure allows you to distinguish between critical and noncritical rolled up bars.


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Bar Styles.
 * 2) Select the Rolled Up Task line. Choose Cut Row.
 * 3) Choose Paste Row twice to make a duplicate row.
 * 4) Select the duplicate, and rename it to Rolled Up Critical.
 * 5) Change the bar's color to Red.
 * 6) In the bar's Show for...Tasks column, replace the Noncritical parameter with Critical.

The entry should read Normal, Critical, Rolled Up, Not Summary.
 * 1) Choose OK.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
