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.

In the Early Start column (or Early Finish), do you know how to keep the date format including hour in one line, rather than having the hour one line below?

Example:
I would like to see and print an early date as 16OCT06 12:00
But P3 keeps it as 16OCT06
12:00
I don’t know how to change it to show them on the same line.

There is no consistency. It shows the hour next to or below the date at different column widths. Not necessarily at 28.
If you make your column really wide (>30 for example) then you will have your hour next to the date. When you slowly decrease the width, you may go down to early 20s still with hour next to the date.
However, after an inconsistent point, hour goes below the date, although there is physically enough column width.
I don’t know why this is happening.
But when there’s physical space for the hour next to the date and it still shows it below the date, I close my project and re-open, then I have the hour next to the date.
Not possible to understand, but currently this is how I handle the problem...

Ulkutan,

I found that if I made the column width less than 28 the hours were placed below, any width 28 or above places time to right of date.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Frank Borcherdt is absolutely right.

But Why this happens?

Can you give more information on "Time Format Validate Limitation" please?
Thanks

Hello,

I’m the one who get the same printing out format after doing so and so..

It would be the Time Format Validate Limitation from software itself.

Hope that is being.

Best Regards,
Praves

When I decrease the row height, as well as increase the column width, it only shows the date, not the hour. Normally it should be expected that it shows the hour next to the date, as there is enough space. However this is not the case, even when the automatic size option is unticked.
Is this happening only to me?

Increase column width as well as reducing row height.

Try unchecking the "Automatic Size" for Row Height (Format, Row Height) and reducing the Row Height.
