Show/ Hide subtasks issue Project 2003

[Clive]

when I click on the [+] to show subtasks, nothing happens. Same with [-] . I
can show subtasks by using the tool bar. I am running Standard Project 2003
SP2.

Clive,
Are you working with a consolidated master? If so, under some conditions
the subprojects may not expand unless the subproject file itself is open.

If you are not working with a consolidated master, first make sure no
filters are applied. If there is no filter, there may be some corruption
in the file. You might want go to our MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? Might be corruption.

Hope this helps.
