zeroing out hours in PWA

[JoB1]

I have team members who zero out remaining hours for tasks that were assigned
to be completed last month (Because the work is complete and no more time is
required.
The PM accepts these updates, but the tasks never disappear from the team
member's PWA task tab.
In MS Proj 2003, the task is shown as 100% complete, it was scheduled for
dates well in the past.
How can I get these tasks to "disintegrate" from the PWA view?

The team member has two choices for dealing with completed tasks:

1. Select the "Current Tasks" option in the sidepane on the left. Since a
completed task is not a "current task" the completed task disappears.
2. Click each completed task individually and then click the Hide button.

Beyond this, your Project Server administrator can delete completed tasks
from each user's timesheet by referring to the following FAQ:

Hope this helps.

I REALLY like the admin answer below. We tested it and it works great! Thanks.

Followup, is there a similar admin routine to get rid of "X" tasks (Taks
that have been moved or deleted from the schedule or that the resource has
been removed from) [Obviously, I am trying to clean up my users PWA view in
hopes of making it more usable.]

We removed the zero hours as per
http://www.projectserverexperts.com/Shared Documents/DeleteCompletedTasks.htm.
It worked, except it also removed those projects from our "Completed
Projects" filter in Project Center.

Any advice on how to get them back?

Info about the view/filter in Project Center -
Ent Proj Outline Code 5 (Proj Status) equals "complete".

To the best of my knowledge, the SQL code only deals with task assignments
on each resource's PWA timesheet. I have no idea how it impacted your
Completed Projects filter. Hope this helps.

follow this logic:
If the SQL code removes all of the zero remaining hours tasks from the tsks
assignments AND if a completed project has only zero remaining hours tasks
then
does that mean that PWA has nothing to display when I change my view in
PWA's Project Center to "Completed Projects". I think that that is what is
happening.

The projects are still in the Project server database and can still be seen
from MS Project, but how can I get my "completed" view to work?

Maybe, change the view/filter to "show projects with zero remaining hours"?
Any ideas?
