RE: Expenses

Hi Kate

Thank you for your question.

I am assuming that you wish to keep a seperate track of reimbusable expenses on your project.

One approach would be to use one of the customised cost fields to record them against each task. To do this right click on a column head in the table of the gantt chart and select insert field. You can then select Cost1, the first custom cost field and rename it expenses.

You can then use this to keep a seperate record of the expenses.

Hope this is OK

Regards

Stephen
