Is there a way you can design a report to give you the task detail of a
specific task across all projects in Project Server??

One approach would be to create a master project containing all of the
projects in the portfolio and then apply a custom field that displays only
the task you wish to analyze. If you are using Project Server 2003, you can
quickly create a master project by doing the following:
1. Log into PWA with the proper permissions to see all projects
2. Navigate to the Project Center
3. Select the first project in any column other than the Project Name
column
4. Press and hold the Control key, then select every other project
5. After you have selected every project, click the Open... button
Project Server will launch Microsoft Project Professional and automatically
create a master project for you. Hope this helps.

thanks dale, but is there another way, what if 50 new projects get added, you
wouldn't have to select all 50 again and create another master project??

If there were another way, I would have told you. Perhaps someone else has
an idea for you.

Dale,
I tried this, it wanted to open every project not create a master
project, it said "You have selected 10 or more projects to be opened in
Project. Depending on the size of the selected projects, this action may
take a significant amount of time. You can choode to open the projects as
read-only or read-write."
am i doing it right??

will come up in Project Center and use the Report i have created at a Project
Level to pull out all data??

What you wish to do cannot be accomplished in PWA, either in the Project
Center or detailed Project views. If you wish to view the current state of
a specific task in all projects in your portfolio, you need to open all of
the projects in a master project in Microsoft Project Professional (which
you did) and apply a custom filter to show only the tasks you wish to see
(which you apparently have not done yet). Create the custom filter and
apply it, and let us know how it works.
