If you are using Project Server 2003, you can create a custom Project view
for use in Project Web Access that should meet most of your reporting
requirements (if you are using Project Server 2002, you cannot create this
view). To create this view, log into PWA with administrator permissions and
do the following:
1. Click the Admin menu
2. Click the Manage Views link
3. Click the Add View button and make sure the Project option is selected
4. Name the new view and give it a description
5. In the Fields section, move up the Finish field to place it immediately
after the Task Name field
6. In the Splitter Bar section, set the split bar value to 500 pixels or
greater
6. In the Filter section, create the following filter:
Field = Milestone
Operator = Equals
Value = Yes
7. In the Categories section, add the view to the My Organization category
to make it accessible to executives
8. Click the Save Changes button
To examine this view, navigate to the Project Center page, click on the link
for a project, and then apply the new view on the detailed Project page. If
the splitter bar is too far to the left, increase its value in step 6 above.
Your executives and customers will access this view by clicking on the
project link in the Project Center page and then applying the new view from
the Choose a view menu. This view can be used only for one project at a
time, however, as there is no way to view multiple projects in PWA in either
the Project Center page or the detailed Project page. If the person viewing
the page hovers the mouse pointer over the milestone, he/she will see a
screentip showing the milestone name, along with its Start and Finish dates.
Hope this helps.

I would like to display a set of key milestones and tasks from a set of
one or more projects. I would like this to be a Web Page for executives and
cusxtomers to view. The milestones and tasks would simply show their finish
date and if you hover over the item the note for the item would be
displayed. Does anyone know of an exsisting sample for this. I would assume
that I would export from project to excel or SQL Server the selected
milestone and task data for this Web Page display.
