Background
This was created as part of my studies required me to put together a digital technology learning module and I chose MS Project 2010. It follows the 4 stages of Project Management - Initiation, Planning, Implementation and Closing. I tried not to make it boring and really informative !

MS Project On Track Button Not Working

MS Project Tip
On Track Button Not Working Randomly Grr

If you have played around with the status date in the Project file and the 'mark on track' button does not work anymore to calculate % work complete, you need to reset the Status date to show current date. 

Type NA in the date field and it should reset it for you.

BOOM Easy as that!
