Well, I'm blanking. I have never seen the behavior you describe with milestones. Perhaps someone else in this newsgroup can take a stab at solving your problem. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. :(

I did find that if I insert 1 minute instead of leaving it a milestone it

Hmmm. What happens if you change the Schedule From value to Project Start
