dear Luky
sorry for being late, I was investigating for what you said but I couldn't
do it (thanks for care). Besides I didn't know how to explain my plan in this
little plain
text box. but I'll try anyway, assume:
you have a plan with 2 main levels of tasks and below these you have
hundreds(or thousands) of low level tasks. such as:

Dep. Spec. Tasks
level level level
------- ------- -------
PROJECT X_____________________

*Design
.electric
-Task01
-Task02
- ...
.mechanic
-Task11
-Task12
- ...
*Constr.
.electric
-Task21
-Task22
- ...
.mechanic
-Task31
-Task32
- ...

And now you want to chang levels(2 main levels) to have a new look and
calculations for these levels, eg:

Dep. Spec. Tasks
level level level
------- ------- -------
PROJECT X_____________________

*electric
.Design
-Task01
-Task02
- ...
.Constr.
-Task21
-Task22
- ...
*mechanic
.Design
-Task11
-Task12
- ...
.Constr.
-Task31
-Task32
- ...
In this case, tasks in main levels are not the same as above but with this
method you can answer all other departments needs (accounting, storage, etc).
at the end I must thank microsoft (& ofcorse you) & ask for quick response
from microsoft.
