In Project 2007, is it possible to automatically format the bar colour in the
Gant Chart view to vary by the Resource Name allocated, thereby providing a
visual overview of the task allocations and resource requirements?

Pete,
Well yes, but what if there is more than one resource assigned to a task?

In the case where you will always have a single resource assigned to
each task, you will need to set up as many spare task flag fields as you
have resources. Note that I said Task flag fields, not resource flag
fields. Then set up the bar format under Format/Bar Styles and use the
selected flag field in the Show for... Tasks column for each different
bar.
