Mysterious TaskID 0

[Dean]

I have uploaded a Project 2002 file to Project Server 2002. When I click on
the project in the Project Center, it is displayed in the projects view and
there is a new summary task with an ID of 0. Any idea where this is coming
from and/or how to hide/delete?

TIA
Dean

Task 0 is always there, although it sounds as though you don't display it in
Project. By default, task zero is set not to display in the Project Client,
but this is what you're actually seeing when you view the Project Center. In
Project, click Tools, Options and select the view tab and check box to show
the Summary task. We teach our students to always display this as most
people have a habit of recreating this as task one, causing the entire
schedule to be indented one unnecessary level.
