Hi,

I am a newbie on this great forum, so hello everyone!

I have currently got an overall Programme Plan, which includes smaller plans inserted from the same directory.

However, when I want to move them around or delete them it doesnt work at all. The task still remains.

Is there anyway around it?

Thanks
Kirpal

    Hi Kirpal,

    What service pack are you using?

    I had a similar problem with MS Project 2k3, I downloaded SP3 and haven’t had any problems since.

    Regards,

    Darren

    They could be tasks that you put into the Master project.

    You didn’t say which view you are using. If it’s Resource Usage then they could be tasks that were part of a project schedule you inserted while using a resource pool and then lost/mangled the links to that file.

    You haven’t really given us a lot to work from. You didn’t mention the version or service pack number you have, you haven’t told us which view you are using, you say "delete" and "move" but it’s not clear if you mean within the project or within the folder and "doesn’t work at all" is -- you must admit -- not exactly a very precise description of your situation.

    Kirpal,
    To insert projects can be made in two ways:
    a) Open the projects you want to insert, then click Window, New window, select the projects and click OK; in this case, the projects inserted in the new window are linked to the source files
    b) Click Insert, Project, and select one by one the projects you need; in this case, it is possible to link (default) or not (clear the check box)
    If you use this second method and do not link the target to the source, it is 10% normal that the inserted projects (I should say "tasks") will not be deleted if you delete the source (I should say "original") projects, and vice versa.
    Hope this helps
    Alexandre
