Print Project Tasks with Total / Actual Hours

[Luke]

Just let me say I am not a Microsoft basher as I have tons of their products
but it really surprises me that a company that claims to be on the cutting
edge would produce a product addon like Business Contacts in Outlook 2007
that cannot even do simple fundamental tasks that a 'normal' business would
need. This is not the first time I have found MS products not reaching their
full potential but I still use the products because 95% of what they do
matches my needs.

OK, venting is out of the way!! LOL Now on to my need.

I have a client (actually dozens) that I have setup a project for each one.
I have added project tasks with various stages of completion. What I need is
a report of a project that till have a summary of all completed tasks with
the Total Hours and the Actual Hours that can be printed. The purpose is for
billable hours. Naturally, you need the ability to select by status
(including all status) and beginning/ending dates.

I have spent well over 2 hours researching the knowledgebase as well as
general internet searches with nothing to show.

BCM ships with several built-in reports, but it is not a fully-
featured reporting tool. When users need a custom report, a popular
choice is the report writer that comes with Access. BCM uses Sql
Server to manage its data, and other Office applications, like Access
and Excel, can connect to the sql server database, access the BCM
data, and then slice and dice the data as required.
