PRJ: Commands Unavailable in a Consolidated Project (141263)

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Project, some menu items are unavailable when you are working in a consolidated file. Most of these menu items are unavailable because the features are to be used only in the external project files that are being consolidated. Upon consolidation, the information is then updated accordingly. The following tables list the menu commands and features that are unavailable in a consolidated project.
