Hi,

Pity you are not a developer (but good you are in the developer newsgroup);
what you are looking for can only be done through a very very tiny
development, for instance this macro:

Sub ParName
Dim job as task
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
if job.outlinelevel>1 then
job.text1=job.outlineparent.name
end if
end if
next job
end sub

Hope this helps

Thanks so much, Jan. I used your routine and assigned that value to a text
field. It works like a charm.
