Activate/deactivate sub-projects

I'm using MS Project 2000. How can I turn sub-projects on and off?

John,
Subprojects inserted into a master can be collapsed or expanded (i.e.
show or hide subtasks), or subprojects can be added or deleted from the
master, or subprojects can be linked or unlinked from the master, but I
have no idea what you mean by "turn on and off".

Thank you John.

I mean that the project tasks would not appear and/or that any constraints
or dependencies with or on other projects within the main project would be of
no effect when turned "off".

John,
Subproject tasks can be hidden as I noted before. Turning "off" linkages
is a little trickier. The "only" standard way to do that is by deleting
the links. Even if the subproject is deleted from the master, the
existing links between that subproject and other subprojects will still
be active.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If a subproject is part of
the overall plan, under what circumstances do you need to make it
inactive? It's either part of the plan, (and links are relevant), or it
isn't. If we better understood what your goal is instead of the method
you want to use to accomplish it, we could be of more help.
