Custom Project Date Field - 2003

D

Derek

I'm currently using Project Server 2003 and wondering if
someone could point me in the right direction on how I
might get the start date of milestone task into an
enterprise custom date field. (I'm slightly confused by
the formula options)

Each one of my projects has a milestone task called "Go
Live Date" and I was hoping to be able to display that on
some Project Center views in Project web access. I guess
I could just have the project manager enter that date and
modify it when it changes but I would definitely prefer
to get it straight from the project plan if possible.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Derek,
I think I can see a way. Define a task enterprise date field (say
Enterprise Date 1) and use the formula "IIf([Name]="Go live
date",[Start],"1/1/1990")" with the summary task rollup option set to
maximum. Then define an enterprise project date field set to equal
Enterprise Date 1. Seems to work.
Hope this helps.
