I've created a project w/ MS Project 2007. The project starts in September 2008 and runs until January 2009. When I look at the Gantt chart, the timeline is September 2009 to January 2010. The 'start date' in PROJECT INFORMATION is 2008, and I've been unable to figure out why the Gantt is one year ahead. Same is true when I click on the Calendar view. I checked to see if my version was missing a service update, but I am up-to-date w/ the latest patch.
Hello MMcKeen, See FAQ #1 at: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm I hope this helps. Julie "mmckeen" wrote: > I've created a project w/ MS Project 2007.

You may want to check to be sure the fiscal year hasn't been changed to something other than January. I believe this can cause what you are seeing.

HI, I checked that and it is set to January. My problem is that the Gantt displays EXACTLY one year off. Today appears as October 2, 2009, when the task date is October 2, 2008. If I create a new project, I get the same thing. "Darrell" wrote: > You may want to check to be sure the fiscal year hasn't been changed to > something other than January.

Hi, my fical calendar is set to January. The Gantt is thrown off by EXACTLY one year, displaying dates for the current month as October 2009 instead of October 2008.

Hi, I don't have Project 2007 here to check, but check the timescale settings in the Gantt chart. Right click over the Gantt and uncheck the option "use Fiscal Year". Better?
