Have your resources do this for themselves using the Hide button on the
toolbar above the grid in the timesheet.

I know that deleting tasks from a project plan is not
typically the smart thing to do because of historical
purposes. However, we just uploaded a new project plan
into PWA a month ago. One of the sections have been
determined 'out of scope' and should be deleted (this will
be a separate project later). The Project Manager deleted
the corresponding tasks from the Published Project plan
and then saved. Many changes and updates have occured
since.

In the Task and Timesheet view of the resources that had
the deleted tasks, they still appear with an X on the
information. When they try to reject these tasks, they
get a message stating this has already been deleted from
the project plan.

How can I make those tasks go away from their Task view
without having to HIDE each one?

Thank you in advance.

You can accomplish this through a simple SQL query as well. I thought I'd
mention this in the event you had a mind to do this. The server tables are
documented in svrdb.htm included on your installation CD and installed on
your server harddrive during installation.

Thank you Gary. I was hoping this wasn't the case, but
after doing a lot of research, I am finding this is the
only way.

Thanks again.
