Flags for Resources
I have more than 20 group resource on my project, so i need more flags to create a color for each. How can I add more flags?
Dale,
Thanks for checking in. I know enterprise has the ability to create a ton of custom fields but I didn't know if that would help in this case. Apparently not. However, Frosty666 did contract me directly (via private message) and I have a method to get around the 20 Flag limit (see below). But, I'm trying to better understand his intent because keeping track of just a few different colors is hard enough much less 20 or even more as he think he needs/wants.
For reference, the way to get around the 20 Flag limit for setting up Gantt Bar styles is to instead customize each Gantt Bar. Manually that is a bear, but with a little VBA it's easy. However there is a formatting limit, I've run into it before but I don't recall the actual number.

John-Project or Frosty666 would you be able to give a little more details on the Gnattt bar styles?
Sorry but your post is a little to general. What exactly do you want to do? And instead of tagging on to this thread, how about you start a new thread and explain what you want.
