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.
