Project Stand Alone - tasks hidden

[Jan]

This has me stumped.

I have a project manager that copied and pasted task names from one project
to another and then entered all the other information.

However after saving, closing and reopening the project the newly
copied/pasted tasks don't display and show the ID number as 60, 61, 62, 63,
70, 71, 72 and so forth for each group of tasks previously added.

To get the hidden tasks to display they's collapse the entire project then
expand it.

Any ideas on the cause and how to fix this?

Thanks

Check if there are filters applied or custom groupings.

On the toolbar look for two drop downs. One should say "No Group", the
other "All tasks"

If that is not your problem, I do recall awhile back that P2007 was acting
similar (tasks would disappear and become ordered in an odd sequence).
Download an install all services packs, etc. to correct that.

What version of Project desktop are you using?

Hi Jan

ASAIK, be very careful when copy-pasting entire tasks. In most cases,
this is a bad practice. And I would say, never copy paste tasks from
one project file into another! – All task details are copied, not just
the name!
