Re: vertical bars in gantt view (MS Project)

Jan,

Extremely helpful - I learned something new today. However, Project is only
showing the nonworking time for whole months versus showing the nonworking
time that spans from mid-month to the next mid-month (ex: 9 Jan to 8 Feb).
It's a 30 day period but it's over two months. Now if I change the
nonworking time to 1 Jan to 31 Jan - the veritcal bar appears. Any
suggestions? I've been messing with the timescale but can't figure it out.
Thanks Jan!
