Reggie Brown asks, what are some methods to produce custom reports with Microsoft Project 2003 and 2007 data?

Answer: Both versions of Microsoft Project allow various ways of creating custom reports, whereby Project 2007 offers a brand new feature called "Visual Reports."

Here are some ways of producing a custom report using either Project 2003 or 2007.

The Reports Feature

The reports feature allows users to create pre-defined and custom reports. You'll be able to find the report link in Project 2003 under View | Reports and within Project 2007 under Report | Reports. By choosing the reports link you'll be prompted with the reports dialog window, as shown in Figure 1.
