Daily "to do" report

[Docschmo]

I've used it in the past but haven't had access to it for quite a few years
now so I'm not sure if Project can do this for me.
Each job coming in is a custom job and needs it's own separate file. Each
job has common steps in the process. I always have multiple projects (20 to
50) open, all running at different phases simultaneously. Can Project provide
me with a report that will show what todays key events are for these multiple
projects saved in different files? Almost like producing a daily production
or event schedule, for lack of a better description.

Hi Doschmo,

Yes, Project can do that.
You can insert the multiple "project" files into a master file, also
connecting them to a resource pool, then filter or sort the information to
get what you want.

For starters, look for "Resource Sharing" in the help and or for "Insert
Poject"
