how to summarize a custom Cost1 column

[Fritz]

I am trying to create a second Cost column with the ability to summarize automatically. I am not able to find the right tool. Any help would be appreciated.

What summarization do you want to do?
The basic process is to go to the insert menu, select column and select the
column you want to insert.
Then right-click on that column and select "customize field"
There is a section in the dialog box which sets the "Calculation for task
and group summary rows" . Set it to sum.

If you want some other sort of summarization it is possible, but you have to
tell me what you want before I can tell you how to do it.

Upgrade to project 2000 or use visual basic.
You will need to take a summary task, loop through all the subtasks for that
task and sum their values, then put the result in the field that you want.
It isn't too hard, but it will be a macro and you will need to run it each
time you need the sum (it won't automatically update like the customized
field will)

it with MS Project 98 ... any thoughts?
