Maintain formatting of a project when insert into another project?

[a-ron]

Hey All,

If I have a 'collector project' that I maintain many different .MPP'
in , is there any way that I can have the formating of the task bar
(Ie. colour, style, etc.) on the collector project reflect th
formatting of the task bars on each individual project ?

For example: I tend to colour my task bars depending on which resource
are allocated to that task (Ie. if my 'engineering group' is allocate
to a task I will colour the task bar green), I just like things colou
coded... If I set up a project file, call it my 'collector project', an
insert a bunch of individual projects - the formatting of the task bar
as they are displayed on the collector project reverts back to the MS
default.

Basically - Is there any way that I can setup MSP to maintain th
formatting of a project when it's insert into another project?

Thanks,
A-ro

Hello,
If you set manually the green color for your 'engineering group' via Format
/ Bar... you cannot retrieve anything in your master projet.
If you calculated a flag field (to Yes if resource contains 'engineering
group') and used this Flag to create a new green symbole in Format / Bar
Styles... you can retreive the Flag field and the Gantt Chart via Tools /
Organizer in the master project.

Hope this help
