Hi again
Have a look at my latest posting , below I ahve placed a link to TechTrax website that explains the different types of graphical indicators within Project and how to set them up.
You can have "Traffic Light Indicators" for tasks overbudget or slipping dates, etc and Drop down menus (combo boxes) to allow the end user to only choose from the given list, e.g. Task Name , Dept ( Custom Field) etc.
