How can I archive subprojects to save the project details?

Hi Deb,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

If you have a master project and sub-projects inserted, then just save each
individual project. However, I suspect you mean summary tasks which have a
group of indented tasks. If that is the case, you'll have to separate them
out. Try Save As... and give the project a new name identified by the first
summary task title. Open that file and delete all the irrelavent tasks, and
save again. Repeat for each subproject. Then create a new master and
insert each of the projects.

You might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the
TechTrax ezine, particularly #17 and 18, at this site:

Thanks.)

Mike,

I have a sub project that is actually a stand alone project. I have built a
master schedule and inserted around 70 stand alone sub projects in the
master. As each of the sub projects is completed I would like some way to
archive or auto transfer them to a completed file. I want to remove them
from the master as an active sub project, but I don't want to loose
visibility altogether of the sub project. All I can think of doing is
manually placing the completed sub project into another master and deleating
it from the current master, this could get messy.

Thanks- Deb

PS I will read your reference & see if that helps.

Hi Deb,

Well... a master project just has place markers for the sub-projects.
Provided the sub-project is open when you make changes in the master, it is
the sub-project that is updated. You can thus delete the sub-project from
the master, and save the sub-project in some archive folder.
