I have a project all nicely planned out in MS Project - no problem with that. The start datre for it was 1.11.06 and it is shown as a 2 year duration spread over 8 quarters named Q1-Q8 on the middle tier (nothing on top or bottom tier timelines). So far so good.

Problem - the grid lines for the quarters on the Gantt do not reflect the actual quarters - they are all a month out. So the grid line for Q1 actually starts on 1.10.06 and ends 31.12.06 instead of being 1.11.06 and ending 31.01.07.

How can I get the Gantt to appear right without this being out of step. Everything else on the project with respect to dates is absolutely spot on. Its just this representation in the Gantt view that looks odd, but I cannot find how to to get it right. Anyone able to help please?

Tools, Options, Calendar: check Fiscal Year starts when you want it to.

Right click on the Gantt Calendar strip. Timescale. Use Fiscal Year...

Something like that on P2000 anyway...
