Task Names & Levels

[DaveFusion]

2 questions :

I'm trying to put together a 'generic' project that my Project Managers can
use for their individual project, but which will all follow the same template.

Question 1 - is there a macro that I can use whereby a 'project name' is
replicated in each task before the task name ( i.e. in my generic project
there will be tasks for Build, Test etc - I will have to enter the project
name proir to this for my own purposes i.e 'Telecom Phase 1b - Build' etc -
is there a way of doing this other than an awful lot of cut & pasting?

Question 2 - I f I ever overcome the first bit, is there a way of
justshowing in a 'view' all the 'Level 5' tasks, currently if I use the
@show' feature for Level % it shows all the level 1,2,3,4 stuff as well - I
just want the bottom level tasks in a view.

Thanks

Hello Dave,
Question 1 : Try
Sub AddProjName()
Dim oTask As Object

For Each oTask In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not oTask Is Nothing Then
oTask.Name = ActiveProject.Name & " " & oTask.Name
End If

Next
End Sub
Question 2 :
Create a filter : outline Level ... equals ... 5

Hope this helps,

Gérard Ducouret
