Identify origin of tasks in a consolidated project

[Ortigoso]

Hi, friends.

When I'm working with multiple projects consolidated in a master project, I
need to identify the origin of the tasks (project and summary task related).

For example, if I'm in the Resource Usage view, I select a resource name and
I have all tasks assigned to him, but I don't know to which project those
tasks belong.

I've tried to insert the column "Project Name", but this show me only the
project name and not the summary task related.

Is there any way to obtain this? I need this information in the Allocation
Resource View too.

Thanks for any help.

You can do it with some VBA. I have a macro which does this which does this
on my site

http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm look for the Summary Name macro.

It will need modification if you want it to show in the resource usage view
though. One easy way to do this is to make it write to the task.name field
instead of the task.text12 field. There are other more sophisticated ways.
Try it on a test project first.
