Thanks Gary, I kind of guessed this unfortunately.

Given this then, what is the best way of capturing non-
project and non-working time with Pro 2003 and Server
2002 ?

I can see a section in server where you can set you non-
project/working categories that will appear in people's
task *** page on the server, but I do not see how this
time can be collated, or viewed in a collated fastion,
either by total reported time by task or by person.

If instead the easier way is for you to set up a regular
project to collect non-working/project time, how would you
define the tasks such that people can report time to them
as they expend it, but not such that the tasks take a
fixed amount of a persons schedulable time. For instance
unexpected IT issues that stop work. I don't want to
define a task that is a recurring number of hours each
week that they may be able to bill time to. Also, if I
create a task that is insignificantly short, say 1 minute,
as soon as someone bills time to it, the remaining hours
drop to 0 and the task is considered complete.

I just rambled there for a bit but wanted to show that I
have tried to put some thought into this.

Thanks for any help,

Michelle
