hi,
Follow the following steps to create a master project. When using the
reports make sure that the required projects in the master project have their
tasks listed (click on the sub project to open it within the master project.
You can expand as many sub projects in master file as you need).
Open the project that you want to become a master project.
On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.
In the Task Name field, click the row below where you want to insert the
project.
Note You can insert a project at any level of the master project's outline.
On the Insert menu, click Project.
In the Look in box, click the drive or folder that contains the project.
If you cannot find the project in the folder list, you can search for it.
In the folder list, open the folder or subfolder that contains the project
you want.
Click the project you want to insert, and then click Insert.
To insert multiple projects, hold down CTRL and click the projects in the
order that you want to insert them.
To see Microsoft Office Project 2003 files saved in a database, click
Project databases in the Files of type box.
To insert a project in read-only format, click the arrow on the Insert
button, and then click Insert Read-Only.
If you don't want the subproject to be updated with changes from the
original project, or changes from the subproject to be shown in the original
project, clear the Link to Project check box.
If you consolidate projects containing resources with the same name, and you
want to eliminate duplicate resource names, clear the Link to Project check
box. The first instance of a resource name and its resource information, such
as pay rates and resource calendars, will overwrite the second and subsequent
instances. And because the subprojects are not linked to their source files,
you will not be able to update the original project file with any changes
made to the subproject in the master project.
Click Insert.
Regards,
