How do I outdent a task that already has a summary task above it .

[under the gun]

I'm three weeks old in M.S. Project experience.
I have a reoccurring task, the last item of which has somehow become a
summary task for the task below it. The task below, which is a summary task,
should be at the same level as the reoccurring task. I have tried to outdent
the first task below to correct the mistake but Project will not allow me to
do so. I don't get any error dialog box explaining why.

Help!

This is a bug that has been fixed. You need to download and install the fix.
Go here and download Service Pack 1 or Project 2003 Update: KB832887

Hi Under the Gun,

You don't mention which release of Project you are using, but MS Project
2003 had a bug that was fixed in the service release where you could not
outdent a task once it had been indented.
See

for download details.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
