PRJ: Outline Levels Lost When Dragging Summary into Subtasks (197333)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 2000
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q197333 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you drag to move a summary task, the outline
structure of the summary task and subtasks may be lost.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you apply a task filter and then drag a summary
task between its own subtasks.
When you place a summary task between two of its subtasks, a logical
outline structure cannot be maintained because a task cannot be both a
summary task and its own subtask.
WORKAROUND
To correct this problem after it has occurred, re-create the original
outline structure.
To avoid this problem, do not move a summary task between two of its
subtasks.
NOTE: To show all of the subtasks that belong to a summary task, filter the project with the All Tasks filter.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
