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.

I use 2003, but i assume this will be the same as 2007.

 

If you go to the task information box for this "milestone", under advanced tab there is a check-box called "Mark task as milestone"

If this is checked, the task will appear as a milestone on the gant chart even though it has a duration, % complete, resources, etc

 

To correct, you can choose to either uncehck this ox and treat the task as an activity, or set the duratino to zero and treat it like a milestone.

 

I have never understood why MS Project allows for this functionality. It seems quite peverse.
