Creating non-standard reports in Project2003

[Jude99]

aDoes anyone know how to create non-standard reports in Project 2003? I am
trying to create something which cen be re-run monthly that includes the
following information;
Task
Task Duration
Task Start and End Dates (baseline)
Task Actual Start and End Dates
Variance
Effect of Variance on baseline end date
Critical Tasks (inc in above but clearly demarked)

Thanks in advance

Create a new task table (View, Table, More Tables) and add the fields that
you listed. Then create a new report (View, Reports, Customize). Should be a
task report, give the report a name and then select the table (the one you
just created)for this report.

(Hint: adjust the table format to adjust the report format)

If you want to run this report for all of your projects, go to Tools,
Organizater and move this report over to your global.mpt. Changes will be
saved when you exit Project.

Hi Jude99 & Ray,

Just one thing I would add to Ray's excellent directions. If you copy the
report over to the Global.mpt, make sure you copy the table as well. As the
report is based upon the table, both will need to be there for it to work
correctly.
