How can I set up a PWA view that opens up all projects and lists milestones
only?
only?

Unfortunately, no, as many people seem to want this functionality. Instead,
you must open all projects in a master project in Microsoft Project
Professional, or you must use a database reporting tool such as SQL
Reporting Services. Hope this helps.

In PWA ADmin, there is a function to manage views. Either create or modify
a view to filter on "Milestone equals Yes" down in the filter section. I
don't think "Milestone" actually has to appear in the view, either.
Alternatively in Project Center, if an existing view already has the
Milestone field in it, you can filter there, and "Save Link...". Sort of a
poor-man's way to mange views! :>)
Hope this helps ...

Ooops, my error. Dale is right about ALL projects. My technique will give
you a task view on any single project.

Oh Dear! I currently have 114 projects rolling up fairly nicely through
MSP2000 but have major administrative problems sharing the information with
non-project users in real time. Is there anyway I can expand all projects in
PWA and then just use a filter on 0 days approach to get round this?
Other questions that spring to mind are:-
1) Does MSP Server 2007 help in this respect?
2) How many projects can I open from within PWA into a master project? I
could eventually have 300+ projects
3) When opening these projects into a master project it defaults to
linking them. Can I change the defualt to non-linked so I can then save all
the projects within one independant plan?
4) When I use the auto-filter approach in PWA it loses the related
summary tasks - can these be kept in?
thanks in advance

No, there is no way to expand all projects in PWA and then filter for just
milestone tasks. That is why I gave you my original answer. To answer your
questions:
1. I do not believe there is a way to do what you wish in Project Server
2007 either. I am answering partially in ignorance since I have spent
months and months helping to write our company's book on Microsoft Office
Project 2007 (the desktop application only). If I am giving you an wrong
answer about the capabilities of Project Server 2007, I trust someone will
correct me.
2. The limit of subprojects in a master project is 998.
3. When you create the master project, try deselecting the "Link to
project" option in the lower right corner of the dialog, and then select
each of your subprojects.
4. I would suggest that your Project Server administrator create a detailed
Project view that shows only summary tasks and milestones. He/she would
need to add a Filter to this custom PWA view that uses the following
criteria:
Summary = Yes
OR
Milestone = Yes
Hope this helps.
