PRJ: Missing Tasks When You Delete a Task in a Calendar View
This article was previously published under Q245903
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, in a calendar view, when you delete a task, other tasks may appear to be deleted.
In other views, such as the Gantt Chart view, the tasks that appeared to have been deleted are still displayed.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the following conditions are true:
- You are in a calendar view.
- You delete a task that has successor tasks.
- The successors of that task are displayed on the same calendar row as other tasks that start at the beginning of the project.
- The Autolink inserted or moved tasks check box is cleared (on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Schedule tab).
When Microsoft Project reschedules the successor tasks of the task that is deleted, it draws them on the same row, and on top of, existing tasks. This makes the tasks that were first scheduled on those dates appear as if they are missing.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use the appropriate method for your situation.
Method 1: Re-Layout the View
On the
Format menu, click
Layout Now.
NOTE: This redraws the tasks in the calendar view. If you have manually arranged tasks in your calendar view, you may have to repeat rearranging the tasks, or use workaround 2 instead.
Method 2: Manually Move the Tasks
If multiple tasks are drawn on the same row for one or more days,
manually move the tasks to a new row. To do this, click the border of the task and drag it down to a new row.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Project 2000 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Project 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Project 4.0 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Project 4.1 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
