Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi,
Is there an option for the deadline red flag to appear after a defined period of time from the deadline? not at the instant the activity has passed its deadline.

Thanks,
Assaf.

I answered this in microsoft.public.project
Make a Milestone (duration = 0).
Make the task a FS predecessor with some positive lag.
Put the deadline on the milestone rather than the task.
