I want to print Project 2010 reports - critical tasks.   The columns that print are ID, indicators, task mode, etc.  How do I get rid of the task mode and indicators column?  These columns always print - no matter what report I choose, and I don't need them visible.   Can I control what columns will print on any given report?

Chance Dog,

The columns that are contained in any view or report are controlled by the view table. For example, the Critical tasks report uses the default Entry table. You can see what view table is used in any report by going to, Project/Reports group/Reports. Double click on the Overview report group and then select the desired report and hit "edit". You will see a selection box for Table.

To customize the Entry table, go to View/Data group/Tables icon. Select More Tables then select Entry and "Edit". Edit the fields as desired but be advised that it will be customized for any view or report that uses that table in that project. Instead you might want to consider creating a new view table. In that case hit the "New" button and then populate the table fields as desired. You can use the Organizer to transfer your customized view table into the Global file so it will be available to any project file you open or create.

Hope this helps

John

    Hi John, I tried your advice and it's working like a charm.  I am creating my own report types with the data I want to show.  My team members just don't need to know about the extraneous information project spits out.  Thanks again for your dead on advice.
