Vertical Line on Gantt Chart at specific dates
After trying it out it is actually very easy to attach the line to a date.
Once you draw the line you can go into the "format" menu and then select
"drawing" then "properties". In the properties box you can select to tie the
line to a specific date. I looked to see if there was any VBA code that
would allow me to programmatically set the date but it appears that all I
can do is to create code that will open the dialog box but not set the
property via the VBA code .:-(
