   So the issues this that I have task list on subsite 1 (Sales dept) and subsite 2 (marketing dept)and I would like to display both tasks on the root site. This way when each department changes a task on their sites it would also reflect on the root site. I would also like to do this for announcements. So that I have the Announcements from all subsite displayed on the Main page of the Root site. We are running just the basic WSS 3.0. Any help is appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Adam

   ok so i've been looking around some more and think I found my solution. Using the web part "Content Editor Web Part" and adding the following code while modifying the URL of the task list of the other site it displays.

   <!-- Load and display list - iframe version -->
   <!-- Questions and comments: [email protected] -->

   <DIV id="ListPlaceholder"><IMG src="/_layouts/images/GEARS_AN.GIF"></DIV>

   <!-- Paste the URL of the source list below: -->
   <iframe id="SourceList" style="display:none;" src="http://domain.com/SiteCollection/SourceSite/SourceList/MyView.aspx" onload="DisplayThisList()"></iframe>

   <script type="text/javascript">
   function DisplayThisList()
   {
   var placeholder = document.getElementById("ListPlaceholder");

   var displaylist = null;
   var sourcelist = document.getElementById("SourceList");

   try {
   if(sourcelist.contentDocument)
   // Firefox, Opera

   {displaylist = sourcelist.contentDocument.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   else if(sourcelist.contentWindow)
   // Internet Explorer

   {displaylist = sourcelist.contentWindow.document.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   else if(sourcelist.document)
   // Others?

   {displaylist = sourcelist.document.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   }
   catch(err) { alert ("Loading failed");}

   displaylist.removeChild(displaylist.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]);
   var allDescendants = displaylist.getElementsByTagName("*");
   for (i=0;i<allDescendants.length;i++) {
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("id");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onclick");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onfocus");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onmouseover");
   }
   placeholder.innerHTML = displaylist.innerHTML;
   }
   </script>

   <!-- Load and display list - iframe version -->
   <!-- Questions and comments: [email protected] -->

   <DIV id="ListPlaceholder"><IMG src="/_layouts/images/GEARS_AN.GIF"></DIV>

   <!-- Paste the URL of the source list below: -->
   <iframe id="SourceList" style="display:none;" src="http://domain.com/SiteCollection/SourceSite/SourceList/MyView.aspx" onload="DisplayThisList()"></iframe>

   <script type="text/javascript">
   function DisplayThisList()
   {
   var placeholder = document.getElementById("ListPlaceholder");

   var displaylist = null;
   var sourcelist = document.getElementById("SourceList");

   try {
   if(sourcelist.contentDocument)
   // Firefox, Opera

   {displaylist = sourcelist.contentDocument.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   else if(sourcelist.contentWindow)
   // Internet Explorer

   {displaylist = sourcelist.contentWindow.document.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   else if(sourcelist.document)
   // Others?

   {displaylist = sourcelist.document.getElementById("WebPartWPQ1") ;}
   }
   catch(err) { alert ("Loading failed");}

   displaylist.removeChild(displaylist.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]);
   var allDescendants = displaylist.getElementsByTagName("*");
   for (i=0;i<allDescendants.length;i++) {
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("id");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onclick");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onfocus");
   allDescendants[i].removeAttribute("onmouseover");
   }
   placeholder.innerHTML = displaylist.innerHTML;
   }
   </script>

   Do you have SPD? A linked data source (merge) might be easier and work better.

   I'm no coder, so here's how I'd do it:
   Use one of the following out-of-box web parts: User Tasks, Content Query Web part, or look at the other options in my blog here:

   @AutoSponge, thanks for the idea. Found this post very helpful; http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101154041033.aspx

   @laura67, you always have great post. I have visited your site multiple times, the problem I have is my company is still on WSS 3.0, so I don't have access to the neat tools MOSS offers, like the CQWP. Does anyone know if these tools are something that can be add without MOSS?
