Creating New Views

[Johnnie]

I created a new view following the help steps. It works fine when I change
and save the bar styles, layout, etc. However, I only want to see three
columns; task name, baseline finish, finish. When I apply the new view to
schedule I see more columns than I want. Is there a way to modify this view
so that I see only the three columns I saved? I use PS2003.

Thanks for all your help.

You need to copy the current Table included in your custom View. The Table
defines the columns that appear in the View. Apply the custom View in a
project and then click View - Table - More Tables. Click the Copy button,
give the new Table an original name, and then include only the columns you
want to see. Click the OK button and then click the Apply button to apply
the new Table in the custom View. If you want to make the custom View and
Table enterprise objects, then you need to open the Enterprise Global file
for editing, click Tools - Organizer, select the custom project in the list
of projects on the left side of the dialog, and then copy BOTH the new View
AND the new Table into the Enterprise Global file. Save and close the
Enterprise Global file then exit and relaunch Microsoft Project 2003 to see
the new custom View. Hope this helps.
