Is there anyway you can freeze a task in Project? Some of the work has been carried out but there is no definate date of when or if the remaining work will resume? Many thanks
Hi, The most effective way is to update the Actual Work performed on the Task so far then click and drag the incomplete part of its Gantt bar to when it might re-start. Project automatically leaves the actual work behind and only moves remaining work. I call it "Rip and drag"! -- Rod Gill Microsoft MVP for Project Author of the only book on Project VBA, see: http://www.projectvbabook.com "Eán" wrote in message news:BDD1CFB3-500E-4E37-8022-7ED1E33780D8@microsoft.com... > Is there anyway you can freeze a task in Project? > Some of the work has been carried out but there is no definate date of > when > or if the remaining work will resume? > Many thanks
As the PM aren't you the one that makes the decision about when the task should resume or if the remaining work can be dropped? Decide, then use the method Rod suggested to reschedule the task, use the "Reschedule Uncompleted Work To Start After..." tool in the Tools / Tracking / UpdateProject menu to schedule a resume work date, or after posting your Actual Work and Duration for the task set the RemainingDuration to zero indicating no more work is required on it. Once done. tell the resource when or if they need to resume work. -- Steve House [Project MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Eán" wrote in message news:BDD1CFB3-500E-4E37-8022-7ED1E33780D8@microsoft.com... > Is there anyway you can freeze a task in Project? > Some of the work has been carried out but there is no definate date of > when > or if the remaining work will resume? > Many thanks
