Insert task from another project?
Hi, I have a question regarding linking tasks from other projects in an enterprise 2007 MS project environment. Background: In our organisation, all IT development is handled in quarterwise projects. In this case the Q4 project handled by a colleague. My project; Post 2011, include some IT development, which I have given to the Q4 project, but mostly other activites. Both Q4 and Post 2001 are handled in MS Project 2007 Enterprise edition. Goal: To be able to give my steering group an accurate picture of Post 2011, I want to include the tasks in Q4 related to Post 2011 in my project. I have used the Link function where i can see the activites in my project, but the hours/costs are not included in my projects reports. Question: Is there a way to include these task from Q4 into Post 2011 so their costs are included in Post 2011, but handled from Q4? Kind regards, SetfanSt |

Hi
It sounds like you can only link basic task data between different projects. My only suggestion in order to help you is to repeat the tasks in your project that are being handled by the other project and manually update them when you have progress reported from your colleagues. You could also change the colour of these tasks to another colour so as to make it clear that these tasks are being handled by another project. If Kimberley sees your post she may have other suggestions. Good luck. Tony(OTPM) |

Thanks for your reply, OTPM!
Yes, I have thought of that option to, but I don't like it. Feels somewhat stone age, if you know what I mean. Hope Kimberley have a great solution /StefanSt |

Sorry I am no help. It seems to me that if you were to be able to insert all this detail, you would be doubling everything.
