Text1-30 fields

[Marcdesb]

Hi,

I've indicated in the colum Text1 of the 'Gant chart'
(based on the Entry table) some informations. I wish to
see the information I've put in this field when viewing
tasks informations in the 'Resource usage' view (based on
the Usage table).

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards.

Marc.

Under the hood there are three basic entities in Project - tasks, resources,
and assignments. All of the various table views in Project are views of one
of these three entities. You can't mix and match attributes - display
resource fields in a task view, for example. The Text1 field you see in the
Gantt chart is a task attribute. OTOH, the Resource Usage view is showing
attributes from the assignment table and task attributes can't be added to
it. Another example of this, you'll notice that if you add Text1 to a Gantt
chart table and put data in it, then switch to the resource sheet and add
the Text1 column to it, your entries will be missing. That's because the
Task Text1 and the Resource Text1 are totally different fields in differnt
table and have the same name only by coincidence.
