= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Project version 1.00 and 1.10 allow you to create multiple milestones on a Gantt bar. Pages 102-103 or pages 90-91 of the “Microsoft Project Feature Guide” shows an application that uses multiple milestones. To create milestones on the Gantt bar, do the following:


 * 1) From the View menu, choose Task Entry to go to the Default Combination View.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Palette. Under the Bar Name column, type a description for this milestone.
 * 3) Under the Sample column, select the Start shape and leave the Bar and End shape blank.
 * 4) Under the Show For column, leave the column blank.
 * 5) Under the From column, type Start1.
 * 6) Under the To column, type Start1. Choose OK.
 * 7) From the Table menu, choose Define Tables and edit the task Entry table (or one of your customized tables). Choose Edit.
 * 8) Under the Field Name column, go down to a blank cell and type Start1. Press ENTER. Choose OK. Select Set.

You can now enter a date under the Start1 column in the Task Sheet. The symbol created in step 3 will appear in the Gantt bar of that row.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Microsoft Project can create up to six additional milestones on a Gantt bar. To create other milestones, follow the above steps and on steps 5, 6, and 8, and additionally use the Start2, Start3, Finish1, Finish2, or Finish3 fields.
