Hi Hazza,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I don't think an overhaul is necessary. The columns shown in the Tables are
completely tailorable to your requirements :)

I have the same problem. The only way I got around it was
to copy the info into a new Project and the save it agin.
A bit of a pain, but couldn't get it organised otherwise.

Try selecting the whole schedule again and choosing Edit-Clear-Formats. This
will remove any custom formats in the cells and let the Format-Text Styles
definitions take over.

1hr task spreading itself across the entire week

Dale, Hi, thanks for your reply
I checked, and it is set up as a recurring task with a 1hr duration
every Tuesday.
I created it using insert recurring task.
I wonder if I have altered something elsewhere - would levelling make
this happen, would changing the task type to fixed units and effort
driven on other tasks make this happen.
Now that this has happened, how can I change it so that it goes back
to being just 1hr on a Tuesday?
Many thanks
lynne

I would be scared to death if I were an application developer and was asked
to do the work of an electrician. I would be concerned that I would
electrocute myself! :)

Urgent - lag time

Posted: 11 May 2004 11:31 PM PDT

What do you mean by saying the "purchase software" task has a fixed duration
of 20 days? Are you saying that once it is ordered you expect it will be
delivered in 20 days? I tend to like the idea that the task is limited to
the actual physical work. If it takes 3 hours to fill out the purchase
order and get it signed then call the software vendor and place the order,
then you wait 3 weeks for delivery and then you'll install it, the "order
software" task is not 21 days. The order task is 3 hours in duration
followed by a 21 day lag time waiting for delivery and then the installation
task. So the project plan would show "order" with a duration of 3 hours
linked FS to "install" and a 21 days lag time in the link to position the
install 3 weeks after the order is placed.

of 20d, and other tasks after it are dependent on ithe software, do i assume
that this software will be bought in batches say 2 days into the duration
so that work can start off on the succeding tasks?is this assumption ideal

Resourse units keep changing - MSP2003

Posted: 11 May 2004 02:42 PM PDT

Actually people can be more than 100%. If I have 5 people on the custodial
staff and their skills are essentially interchangeable, I can show them in
my resource list as a single entry with a max allocation of 500%. If it's
assigned to a task at 200% that means I have two custodians working together
on the task. That's why you can't tell project to never exceed 100%.

As to why your assignment seems to be locked in and MSP won't let you change
the 200% to 100% that's a bit of a puzzle. Have you posted any actual
progress to the task?

Gérard,
Thanks for your reply. I am using 2002 std. You are
correct for the new projects. However, For the old
projects, they DO NOT appear with the view which was
active when I saved them. I save in the resource sheet
view. Close file. Open file. The file opens in resource
sheet view momentarily then goes to gantt chart view. Any
idea why. The reason I want to set some files up to open
in this view is that I am using resource pools. Any ideas
to correct this would be appreciated.

Calendar Report by resource

Posted: 10 May 2004 10:40 PM PDT

Hi Gerard
I always read your responses on the site. You have taught
me a lot about MS Project. Much appreciated.
Re this query- I have created a new calendar (copy of
standard) and based specific resources on the new calendar.
The Base Calendar report then displays a calendar per
page,as you say.
However I can't see information about a particular
resource in the view/report.
I can use the View/ Calendar - which shows the tasks and
milestones in a month view, but doesn't indicate which
days the resource is unavailable. That view would be ideal.
I have a respool of about 70 - and leave/ sick days /
training is recorded by team leaders.
I want the team leaders to ensure the details in the read-
only respool are correct,
I need a way of showing / displaying individual resource
calendars to enable team leaders and the project office to
know if the details they have recorded are correct,
hopefully without repeated separate interrogations of the
Respool.
Would appreciate further guidance.


Kind Regards..........Pratta

Summary Task Slack Discrepancy

Posted: 10 May 2004 09:36 AM PDT

Hi Mam

That is exactely whats happening, it's good to know that it's supposed to do
that, what I can't figure out is why. The second task is dependent on the
first and neither of them have any slack so why does the summary task show
it as having a days slack?

If you could shine a little light on it for me it would help greatly

Cheers, Chris
