Display full path info of project name in usage view

[MarkP]

Using MS Project 2007, I need to display full path info of project name in
usage view.

By that I mean, in my Resource Pool with multiple shared detail projects,
want the Project column in the usage view to show:

ID Task Name Project
1 Task 1 C:\\My Documents\Projects\ProjectXYZ.mpp
2 Task 2 C:\\My Documents\Projects\ProjectXYZ.mpp

.....

21 Task 1 C:\\My Documents\Projects\NewProjectABC.mpp


Currently, the value in the Project column is just the project file name
(ProjectXYZ.mpp or NewProjectABC.mpp

Is there a setting somewhere that will cause Project to display what I want?

Is there a better way ?

Thanks

I think you will have to use VBA:

SelectTaskField Row:=0, Column:="Text1"
SetTaskField Field:="Text1", Value:=ActiveProject.FullName

This will do it for a task in a file. You will have to loop through all
the tasks, determine if they are embedded projects and extract the path
name for them.
