Hi Ron

Thank you for your question

I suggest the following procedure

Click on more views at the bottom of the view bar
Click New
Choose single view and continue
Give your view a suitable name
Select the entry table
Set the group to No Group
Set the filter to Critical
Tick the check box to show the view in the menu

Click OK

Your view will then appear on your view bar

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Thanks it works.

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
