fixing the columns in the project view

[Hari]

Hi,
Is it possible to fix columns in the project view. We have created our own view, which has extra columns and we want to restrict the user from removing/hiding the columns

Thanks

Hari,
Not easily. The only method I know to protect against changes made by a
user is to attach a VBA macro that activates on close and requires a
password. Even that is probably "iffy".

The best insurance is to ensure any custom views, tables, filters, etc.
are stored in your local Global or in a separate file. That way, if a
user changes a custom view, the view can easily be restored by using the
Organizer to copy the stored copy back to the file.

The next best method is to train users not to mess with the views.

Hope this helps.
John

If you are using project 2003, you can restrict this by not giving the "manage views" permission to the user whom you dont want to do this.I dont know if this option is available in other versions of project.
