PRJ: Unexpected Start Date Used for Goto Overallocation
This article was previously published under Q84290
In Microsoft Project, when you choose the
Goto Overallocation button (or
Goto Next Overallocation in 3.0,
Go To Next Overallocation in Project 2002-2007, or
Next Overallocation in Project 2010), Microsoft Project starts its search at the date that appears one quarter to the right of the visible Gantt chart timeline. If no overallocations occur after this date, you may receive the following error message in Project 2000 and earlier versions:
No resource overallocation starts after <date> at <time>
You may receive the following error message in Project 2002-2010:
There are no more overallocations starting after <date> at <time>
The Gantt chart timeline position of one quarter to the right of the visible timeline is considered the "key date." The key date is where the
current date line is displayed when you open Microsoft Project. This allows
you to see the desired date along with some of the chart to the left of
this date.
The key date area is where the Goto command (on the Edit menu) shows the requested destination date. Therefore, if an overallocation is found, it is displayed one quarter from the left as well. The Goto Next Overallocation button starts its search at this same point so that it will continue where it left off (unless the timeline has been manually scrolled).

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.
