= SUMMARY =

When using the mouse to modify the Gantt bar, an information box is displayed that shows the start date and time for the selected task. The start time in this information box may be inaccurate, depending upon the timescale selected. For a task with a start time of 8:00 AM, the correct time is displayed when the minor timescale is not months or weeks. In all cases where the minor timescale is in months or weeks, the start time is displayed as 12:00 AM.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Project for Windows version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Project version 3.0.
