Task scheduled for nonworking time created as milestone
This article was previously published under Q113154
In Microsoft Project, if you create a task by dragging on the
Calendar or the
Gantt Chart, and you start dragging on a nonworking day and stop dragging on a nonworking day, the task is created as a milestone.
To avoid creating a milestone task when you create a task by dragging on a
view, do either of the following:
- If you are creating a task in the Gantt Chart view in Project 2007 or earlier, select the Advice About Scheduling check box under
PlanningWizard on the General tab of the
Options dialog box. If you are using Project 2010, select Advice from Planning Wizard check box under Planning Wizard on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box. When these PlanningWizards are
turned on, and you drag on the Gantt Chart starting on a
nonworking day, you receive the following message
You moved '(ID n)' to start on a nonworking day. (startdate)
- When you create a task by dragging on the Calendar or the
Gantt Chart, start dragging on a working day and/or stop
dragging on a working day.
PlanningWizards do not appear when you edit your project in the
Calendar view. Because of this, when you format and edit your project in this view, you receive the same results as when you format and edit your project in the
Gantt Chart view with the
PlanningWizards turned off.

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.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
