Friends,

I'm having trouble turning OFF the highlighting filters feature in Project
Pro 2002. Everytime I apply a filter (say via the autofilter column
headings or view the toolbar Projects --> Filtered For:) the filtered items
are highlighted blue.

I would like the option where the rows not meeting the filter are actually
hidden. The same way it works in Excel....

thanks for the help!

Hi Jim,

Welcome to the Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Have you tried a bit further - Project/Filtered For (...)/More
filters.../select and click Apply (rather than Highlight)?

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on:-)

Mike -- Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I tried that. Whether I click
"Apply" or "Highlight", the same thing happens -- the filtered data is
highlighted blue. This happens on two different PCs with Microsoft Project
Pro 2002 installed.

If I open another project or create a new one -- the filtering works fine.
There must be a setting particular to this project that is "turning off" the
hide (vs. highlight) option... I just can't find it.... I'm opening the
project from a Project Server 2002 repository. However, other projects
opened from that same repository behave as I expect (meaning the data is
hidden, not highlighted, upon applying the fitler).

thank you

OK, Jim, try View/More Views.../Gantt Chart/Edit... and make sure the
Highlight filter setting is unchecked.
