last updated or date complete

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I would like to know when a task has been set to 100% complete. I don't want
to know the finish date, because that seems to be the date it was projected
to be finished and the actual date doesn't seem to be the moment when it was
set to 100% complete either. Anybody got a field for me to use?

You can use the Dte1 field to record a date, but the only reliable way to
get dates entered into it is to have a VBA macro triggered by the Task
Change event enter the date if % complete has just been set to 100%

Hi GF
I think what you are after is being able to set the date the task finished.
Try Tools/Tracking/Update Task.
If you set the finish date Project will assume the task is complete, which
is a reasonable assumption.
Otherwise, check Current Date in Project/Project Information and with the
task selected use the Update Task as scheduled OR Reschedule Task icons as
applicable.
When maintaining schedules like this I like to insert a "current date" line
on the Gantt. Do this by right clicking in the Gantt and then select
Gridlines/Current Date and select the color. Any incomplete tasks in the
gantt on the left of the line need to be either:
- marked as completed
- re-echeduled
- partly completed and re-scheduled
- or deleted
