project milestone

Does anyone know how to set a milestone to automatically move to the current date if the linked task has not started?

A milestone is a reference point that marks a major event in a project and is used to monitor the project's progress. Any task with zero duration is automatically displayed as a milestone. You can also mark any other task of any duration as a milestone.

You can create milestones in your project to represent external tasks (external task: A task that represents a linked task in another project, providing an easy way to review the attributes of linked tasks without switching between projects. An external task can be changed only in the source project.). For example, one of your project's tasks requires an application being developed by another company. You can create a milestone with zero duration in your project to represent the completion of that application.

Create a milestone with zero duration

1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.
2. Type the name of the new milestone in the Task Name field for the first empty row in the list.

• If you are turning an existing task into a milestone, skip this step.

3. Type 0 in the Duration field of the milestone, and then press ENTER.

• When you type a duration of zero for a task, Office Project Professional 2007 automatically displays the milestone symbol Icon image in the Gantt Chart view on that day.
