Progress line question (Bug?)

When my project is in hours(and so is my graphic timescale), current date and status date can also be showed at every hour of a day, but I can not set the progress line in hours
the progress line will allways start between the end and beginning of two days
is this a MSP weakness?

sSecond, when a task is planned ahead of the progress line (status date)has progress MSP’s progressline shows a progress hook to the right, and that is ok, but it also showes a progress hook to the successor of this task which has not been started at all, instead of this the progress line should stay on it’s status date (no hook to the right but a vertical line) is this a bug or is there a setting that deals with this?

    Nice answer.

    So we can conclude that MSP can schedule in minutes, hours, days, weeks and more, but is not able to show a progress line that’s on the exact Status Date set in the project (ie. Oct 14 16:00) ??

    I find this very hard to believe. A planning package that has a minimum planning unit of minutes and can’t even set the progress line on hours. Odd.

    Believe it or not...
    There are plenty of things that you would like MSP to do and that MSP does not..
    THIS is not a bug, you might rather call it a non-functionnality".
    Send mails to your nearest MS representative to suggest this functionnality be implemented in the next version.
