In the ’total slack’ column it shows 0 days. But some of the bars which have 0 float are blue and others are correct coloured red. I need ALL bars to be red for criticality. What is happenning?

    Hi Stuart

    Check the decimals in the Total Slack column - it may be 0.45.

    Best regards

    Maybe it is an issue with the Bar Styles, it occur to me the following.

    1)If using MS project 2010 go to Format Tab and make sure to tick Critical Tasks box, if a prior version look for the equivalent of this.
    2)If you know how to modify Bar Styles probably you will find one bar definition is on top of critical bar definition as determined by the order on the Bar Styles table, place at or near the bottom of the table your colored bar style for critical bars. Not sure but believe at the bottom will place it on top, if not try at the beginning of the table.
    3)Look on help or Google for “MS Project Bar Styles” if the above do not work.
    4)Last resort would be to reset to default Gantt.
