hide sensitive tasks

[KingKikapu]

I have some tasks that hold sensitive payroll information that I do not
wish to be visible to certain viewers. Unfortunately, my company is not
willing to purchase Project Server at this moment, so I am stuck with
everyone using MS Project 2007 professional. Is there any way to hide
these tasks in a somewhat secure fashion? All I'm doing right now is
applying a filter to not display these tasks, but anybody with half a
brain should be able to get around that.

I realise this version of project wasn't intended to deal with this,
but is there anything better than what I'm currently doing?
Unfortunately, these people also need access to the file for certain
things, so I can't just forbid them read access.

Suggestions?

Thank you as always.

No, there is no way to hide certain tasks so that others cannot unhide them.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Dale. I figured as much, but thought it couldn't hurt t
ask.

The best work around is to edit the rates to a few pay scales that include
overheads etc. Your accounts team should do this, then all people can see is
what pay scale each person is on.

Hi King,

No is the answer. But why are you using sensitive payroll information?
Project is not an accounting package. Use generic £/hour figures - remember
that the cost of a task is the cost to the company of using resources at
that level and should include paid leave, sickness, and other overheads
associated with their employment. Generic figures shouldn't be sensitive.
