You'll have to delete it and add it back later, if necessary. Hope this helps in your world.
From: Mike Glen on 14 May 2008 18:14 Hi zishan, Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :) You can't really do this. I suggest you save a copy of your file in case it's needed later, and just delete your task from your working file. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :) Mike Glen MS Project MVP See http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc for Project Tutorials "zishan" <zishan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:367C0C00-C6C7-436E-A6D4-9F64CD5077FA(a)microsoft.com... > Hi, > I am zishan..

Zishan -- I would "cancel" the task by setting its Remaining Work to 0 hours. You can do this by applying a Task view, such as the Gantt Chart view, and then applying the Work table using View - Table - Work. You will see the Remaining Work column in this table. When you set the Remaining Work to 0 hours, the task's Gantt bar will convert into a Milestone symbol (black diamond). If you double-click on the diamond, you can the Shape and Color to something other than a black diamond, knowing that the new symbol represents cancelled tasks. You should also add a Note on any cancelled task stating the reason for doing so. You DO NOT need to break the dependencies since the task now has a Duration of 0 days and the task sequence now flows directly from the cancelled task's Predecessor to the cancelled task's Successor. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
