Cost Reporting

[Jerry Holcombe]

I'm still using Project98, and am working on a 10-year
facilities plan. I need to report two cost types: Capital
and Expense on the project timeline. The embedded report
uses either Total Cost or Fixed Cost in the Cost table to
reflect timeline-sensitive cost figures in the Cash Flow
report.

Exporting the data does not appear to be an option,
because I tend to lose the timeline link. I have 10 cost
fields available in the Cost table (Cost1, Cost2, etc.),
but cannot determine how to include entries into those
columns in my reports.

Any suggestions?

Reports are based on tables that have filters applied to them. To include
the costx fields in an existing report, first make a copy of the report you
like. Take a look at the definition to see what table it uses for its data.
Now go to the tables, make a copy of the table of interest with a new name,
and add the cost fields of interest to it. Now back to the new report
definition you just created and switch the table it references to the one
you also just created. Don't know for sure if this will do what you want -
probably need some tweaking - but it should get you started in the right
direction.
