In MS Project is there a way of identifying a task's Summary Name? For example, I want the Text1 field to be [Name.Summary] & [Name] any ideas?

Ken Your answer looks a lot neater than mine even though (I think) they give the same result. Do they have an underlying difference? IOW, When would you use one ond not the other? Thanks HisBad
