Lock the project information

[chewlf]

Hi,

Does anyone know how can I lock the project information in MS Project
Pro? I was thinking to make some of the custom fields or outline codes
to be disabled. How can I do that? Please advice.

Thanks,
Chewlf

Chewlf,

If by "lock" you mean disable against change, Microsoft Project doesn't
provide this capability inside itself. It's not a spreadsheet, remember.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but you could protect the
integrity of the Project MPP file by done one or more of the following:

: send out *copies* of the project MPP file, not give access to source
: send out reports about the project, not giving access to source
: try making the file read-only via twiddling the file properties, or
storing the file on a file server where you have user- or role-based
access controls.
