Task with elapsed duration in a critical path with red bar.

Mgdias,
Perhaps a screen shot of your plan would help us understand your issue.
Here is a simple two task plan, one with an elapsed duration and one with working time duration. Note, both show as red (i.e. critical). Did you check the option in Bar Styles to show Critical Tasks?

Hi Dale,
First of all may thanks for your quick comment. I think my request in the forum is misintepreted , let me correvt my miscommunication. In some project you might have a task already calculate as critical path (total slack zero) however this task has duration as elapsed duration, as an example of ocean freigth. Project does not dispaly this task in the Gantt chart as red bar although the other tasks without elapsed duration are shown as red bar. The question is how should Project be set up presenting all tasks (regardless the type of duration) as red bar in the critical path on the Gantt chart?
