    Resources and Units

    Formatting the font works differently in the Calendar view. You can change the text color, but it is sort of all or nothing. Try right clicking on a task, then select Text Styles, choose Non-Critical tasks and change the font color to Blue. Click on OK. All non critical path tasks are now...

    past due alerts or reporting

    If you are working with Project 2003 or 2007, insert the column Status Indicator. This might help. For more of a "popup", try working with the field Deadline and watch the Indicators column on the left. Hope this helps! J Black www.pmconnection.com
