Hello John
as per your advice, I an posting new thread.
Thank you for your respond, I agree the test field is very easy solution but
the problem is that originally I wanted to have the date field so that it is
easy for the team to click on the NA and use the calender and pick the actual
date, then because NA was appreaing on the entire field then I thought I
should use the flag field and then highlight the field to be more visual and
I am here now.
If you can help me please provide a micro that can take care of the date
field ( let say date 1) therefore, the value is apperread on the summary line
only and the rest of the field is stays blank ( has no NA).
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Majid,
Assuming I understand what you want, I have a real simple solution. If
all you want is a "yes" or "no" indication at a summary line, use spare
text fields (e.g. Text1, Text2, etc.) instead of flag fields. Also, do
not use a custom field with a value list. There are only two possible
responses so a value list doesn't really offer that much convenience. It
is not that difficult to enter a "yes" or "no". Don't tell me your guys
are that lazy. And by using spare text fields instead of spare flag
fields, the only entry will be at the summary line.
If for some reason I have misunderstood what you want or my simple
solution is just not elegant enough there is a more complex solution. An
event based macro could be developed that will trigger on the entry at
the summary line and change the values for all task lines below it.
If you reply, start a new thread. The number of posts in this newsgroup
has exceeded my preferred setting for this newsgroup (i.e. 100 messages)
and I generally only check old messages if I see an indicator that I
have responded.
Hope this helps.
