ms-project-training - Default filters and master file anomolies | MS-Project forum

Firstly, thank you so much for your suggestions! I made a new resource pool, by exporting to word, then importing back, broke and remade all the links and the bizzare memory for old or deleted files has gone!

I am still having trouble sorting data in my master file, due to the extra line which comes up duplicating the project name (the first line of my data). As this occured in our intemediate training i do not deem it a flaw of my system, but is there a way to get around this? the best way for me to sort my data is by deadline, but the dealine is not copied into the afore mentioned line of text thus nothing to sort!

I can expand so that both my typed taxt and the duplicated line appears, but in the project sorting sence this comes up one row at a time saying:

NA (Duplicated Line)
07/01/2008 (Typed line)
NA (Duplicated Line)
21/12/2007 (Typed line)
NA (Duplicated Line)
and so on, thus making a sort impossible.

I did insert a text field and numbers manually to denote which was supposed to finish first etc, by date to show my priorities (the priorites field, as you mentioned, does not work!), but this was quite time consuming with 30 projects on the go and will change every time i update (designers are like that!) and i cannot save this so am not sure how to overcome this. Any ideas?

Also... Is there a way i can default my filters to be present each time i open a new project file, like i can with views etc...?

I have just made a new filter, yet when i open my resource pool, and the file entitled 'projust 1' that has my projects in them this filter is not present even though i created it in my resource pool file

possibly should have split that into two queries!! sorry!
