PRJ: Gantt Chart Dependency Lines Are Based on Bar Styles
This article was previously published under Q120023
In Microsoft Project, the style and color of dependency lines in the Gantt
chart are based on the first bar style that applies to the task that is
listed in the Bar Styles dialog box.

PRJ: Can't Format Bar with Bar Command if Multiple Styles Exist
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- In a new project, enter two new tasks and link them.
- Set the % Complete on both tasks to 50%
- From the Format menu, choose Bar Styles, and with the
Progress bar highlighted, click the Cut Row
button.
- Select the task bar and then choose the Paste Row
button.
- Change the Row column for the Progress bar to 2
and choose OK in the Bar Styles dialog box.
Note that the link line is displayed from the progress bar of task 1 to the
progress bar of task 2. Also note that the color of the dependency line is
the same color as the progress bar. In the above example this is now the
first bar style listed in the
Bar Styles dialog box. This behavior occurs because the progress bar is chronologically listed before the normal bar style. Therefore the link is drawn for the first bar style that meets a
criteria for the first task.

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.
