My name is Luka Gospodnetic and I work in the company named IN2 (Zagreb). Welcome to my blog which is dedicated to Microsoft Office Project 2007 and it's connection to project management. The blog will cover MS Project basics, advanced issues and also some nice tips & tricks that I hope will help current and maybe future users to master their ability to use MS Project. From time to time I will also try to provide a fun (realistic? :) ) side of the project management such as images, quotes etc.

Drag & Drop feature in Gantt chart

Have you ever accidentally changed your project plan by using the drag & drop feature in Gantt chat? Well I have, and if I may say, it always takes me a lot of time to find out what the hell happened to my plan, and why did it go berserk.

Now, somebody might say something like "Hey Luka, you have a nice Show highlighting feature in 2007 version" and they would be 100% right. That feature automatically highlights all of the parts that were affected by you last "change". But still, I often have time spans on my projects when I don't change the plan, and I don't want the drag & drop feature activated because I have to use undo non-stop. I tried to find out if this feature is disableable... but to my misfortune it isn't.

So if any of you are wondering how to prevent Gantt chart drag & drop feature to change task duration, links... forget it, it isn't possible.
