PRJ: Task Bar Appears on Top of Other Tasks in Calendar View
This article was previously published under Q113769
In Microsoft Project, when you link tasks in your project, and then apply the
Calendar view, if you later unlink the tasks, the task bar
of the successor in the original link appears on top of the predecessor
task bar in the
Calendar view.
When you link tasks in the
Gantt Chart, and then apply the
Calendar view, each task appears on the day it is scheduled to start, at the top of the calendar box for that day. If you then unlink the tasks, so that each task starts on the same day, the tasks still appear in their relative positions in the calendar box for that day, causing each task to appear on top of its former predecessor task.
Note that this behavior only occurs if you apply the
Calendar view before you unlink the tasks. The behavior occurs even if you unlink the tasks in a view other than the
Calendar view.
To refresh the screen, click
Layout Now on the
Format menu in Project 2007 and earlier versions, or click
Layout Now on the
Format tab in Project 2010.
To avoid this behavior, unlink tasks in your project before you apply
the
Calendar view.
To correct this display problem, drag each successor task below its
predecessor task on the
Calendar.

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.
