How can I add Overtime work on the Task view for team
members to fill in the timesheet alon with the Actual Work?
Does anyone have suggestions regarding entering overtime
work in timesheets?

Regards,
David

If your methodology for tracking progress is to ask team members to fill in
their Actual Work hours in the timesheet (the right-hand portion of the My
Tasks page), then each team member can add a line for Actual Overtime Work
to their timesheet. They can do this by clicking the View Options tab and
selecting the "Show Overtime Work" option. When they do so, they will have
two lines for entering their actuals: Actual Work and Actual Overtime Work.

If your team members are entering their actual work values in the Actual
Work column in the left-hand portion of the View My Tasks page, then you
will need to "push" the Actual Overtime Work column to them in Project 2002.
To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Open the project in question in which overtime is needed
2. Click Tools - Customize - Published fields
3. Select the Actual Overtime Work field on the left and copy it to the
right
4. Click OK
5. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
6. Click OK

Will one of these methods help you? Let me know.

Thanks, Dale. The first method was exactly as needed as I
require the consultants to enter the overtime work along
with the actual work.
By using the second method, the overtime work comes to the
left but it is greyed out as I have locked down defaults
for Project Managers to use the Hours of work per day.
Entry is possible on the Remaining work on the left hand
portion of the View my tasks page.

David.
