Hi sentenza,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

A project is defined by the Uniqueness of the undertaking and therefore applies only to a one-off product. For more than one it becomes production which will need the use of production software and not Project. That being said, the only way in Project to model your requirement is to duplicate the project as many times as necessary and insert them into a master project.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
