Customizing reports

Is there any way to customize the reports that are generated by Project? Specifically I am looking to print the "Current activities report", but be able to select which columns are used. I don't see any interface on managing that info.

Also any good web resources on doing custom reports with Project?

I don't see a "current activities report" in my installation - is it a custom report? The short answer to customizing the standard reports and selecting columns is "depends". Some of the standard Task and Resource reports are based upon tables. If you create a new custom table with the columns (fields) you can then use that table as the basis of the report.

Sorry I was going off of bad memory. The actual report is under Reports/ Current/ Tasks starting soon. All of those non "visual reports" seem to have very limited customizing available. Let me know if I am missing the boat here.

If you select the report and click the "Edit" button in the dialog box, you'll see the Table in use is "Entry". Create a new custom table showing the fields or columns you wish to see in the report and then change the table in the report definition. I'd rename the report while editing it, to make sure you can track down your custom reports.
