Frustrated! 100% Tasks showing on Resource Assignment Views

[Laureen]

I have read through all the discussions I could find on this topic. I have a
project in which every task is 100% complete. But, it is still displaying
under "Current" tasks on the Resource Assignment view. I have tried to
republish assignments (overwriting resource input). It didn't work. I have
tried making the resources proposed, that didn't work. Why can't I get these
old tasks to disappear from view?

Laureen,

If by Resource Assignment view you are talking about the My Tasks page you
can unpublish all of the tasks if the project is done. or just the tasks
giving you problems. This will remove the assignments from the My Tasks page.
In Project Pro insert the "Publish" field and toggle the field to "No" for
the tasks you want to remove.

Thanks Darrell,

It's not on the MY Tasks page. It's "View Resource Assignments". But,
maybe it will work for that, I will give it a try.

Darrell,

How would one go about unpublishing?

Laureen,

In the project schedule (MS Project Pro) insert the "Publish" field into
the Entry table (Gantt view) and toggle the field to "No" for the tasks you
want to remove and then publish the shcedule.

Darrell,

Thank you for replying. I am using 2003 and I don't have the publish field
as an option to insert into the schedule.

Jonathan,

Yes, I have tried that and it didn't matter. This problem is not exclusive
to just one project. Is there a setting that I should be looking at?

From an admin standpoint, I do have current set to be 10 days before a task
is due to start. Some of the tasks that will not disappear are over a year
old.

Laureen:

Just for yucks, open one of the affected projects and look at remaining work
on the problem tasks. Project allows you to set tasks to 100% complete and
leave behind remianing work. You must have both 100% complete and Zero
remaining work for the system to fully recognize that a task is complete.

Gary,

Thanks Yes, I checked that. All remaining work is zero and all %
complete = 100%. It even shows up that way on the "assignments" view.
