Yellow Group Highlighting

[JT]

When I remove the Task Name from the task view and do any custom grouping,
the yellow highlighting disappears. Is there anyway to hide the default
column task name and still get the Yellow highlighting around custom groups?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JT,

We'll you have found something I probably never would have discovered. ;-)

It appears as though Project uses the [Name] field (Task name column in a
task view and the resource name column in a resource view) to display the
category names for the grouping as well as start the yellow highlight. From
my quick experimentation, it appears the answer is no.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hello JT,

Don't remove the Task name column, but set its width to zero. You'll keep
the yellow highlighting .
Nevertheless, it's a strange behavior that you discovered ;-(

Thanks Gerard (with the accent my computer can't reproduce) Good idea.
Thanks for the help.

thanks julie, I learned to live with it. I got to spend a cosy 8 hours with
project today and think I came up with a fairly optimal implementation.
