HTML Export and Recurring tasks in Project 2003
in [Project]
|
From: N Birkholz N on 24 Feb 2010 21:46 I have Microsoft Project 2003. I have a file which I wish to save as HTML to share with the team. Many resources have recurring tasks for a weekly support day (every friday they fix bugs and support other developers). When I export the file as HTML, the recurring tasks are expanded into a list of all 52 weeks of the project's recurring tasks. I would like to show ONLY the top-level task for recurring tasks or, barring that, do NOT export recurring tasks into the HTML doc, if at all possible. Anyone know how to do this?
From: Rob Schneider on 25 Feb 2010 03:50 Frankly, the best way is to not put the recurring task into the plan. I'm not trying to be cheeky, but that's the issue/opportunity/problem with recurring tasks--they recur. Maybe use one of the custom flag fields to tag those tasks that are in the plan that you don't want in the HTML file and then filter them out. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 25/02/10 02:46, N Birkholz wrote: > I have Microsoft Project 2003.

From: N Birkholz on 25 Feb 2010 12:42 Thanks, this worked very well. I'm fond of using recurring tasks to track tasks that truly recur, due to their low maintenance requirements. I'm willing to work around the weaknesses. Project is full of features that can misuse you if you misuse them.

From: JulieS on 25 Feb 2010 20:05 I don't have Project 2003 handy to test, but if you collapse up all the recurrences, and then export, does it not show just the single summary recurring task line? I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
