Project Stand Alone - tasks hidden

Prev: Task Based Reports across Project Server projects/resources
Next: highlight changes in a different colour
From: Jan on 7 Dec 2009 16:13 This has me stumped. I have a project manager that copied and pasted task names from one project to another and then entered all the other information. However after saving, closing and reopening the project the newly copied/pasted tasks don't display and show the ID number as 60, 61, 62, 63, 70, 71, 72 and so forth for each group of tasks previously added. To get the hidden tasks to display they's collapse the entire project then expand it. Any ideas on the cause and how to fix this? Thanks
From: Jim Aksel on 7 Dec 2009 16:44 Check if there are filters applied or custom groupings. On the toolbar look for two drop downs. One should say "No Group", the other "All tasks" If that is not your problem, I do recall awhile back that P2007 was acting similar (tasks would disappear and become ordered in an odd sequence). Download an install all services packs, etc. to correct that. What version of Project desktop are you using? -- If this post was helpful, please consider rating it.

In most cases, this is a bad practice. And I would say, never copy paste tasks from one project file into another! All task details are copied, not just the name! HTH Michael |
