Permanently Hiding a Task

[RobV]

Is there any way to permanently hide a task under program control? That is,
I want my VBA program to hide a task in such a way that users cannot unhide
it through the User Interface?

RobV,
Sorry, if users have access to the project file, there is no way to
permanently hide a task from their view.

Why do you need to do this? In most cases like this, the best approach
is training.

Thanks, John. I want to store some PMO info on each schedule without
interfering with the PM. I thought I could achieve this by storing it in a
row and then hiding the row.

RobV,
You're welcome. Unless you need to store the PMO info on each task, you
could use the comments box found under File/Properties/summary tab. If
you DO need PMO info on each or most tasks, consider using the Notes
field or a spare text field however, be advised that spare text fields
will only hold up to 255 characters in the text string, the Notes field
will hold a lot more.

Nonetheless, neither of the above suggestions will make the data
inaccessible to users.
