Project file into Power Point Microsoft Project

Project file into Power Point

Posted: 07 Jun 2004 01:26 PM PDT

use print screen thats gonna work. 
and the Gantt chart. (I think this answers your question).
I have tried to use the Copy Picture to Office Wizard, but
when I get to the part where I choose Power Point, or
another application, and portrait or landscape, it doesn't
let me select anything...nothing gets chosen when I click
on it. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way
to do this besides Copy Picture to Office Wizard? Thanks. 

formatting a MS Project task row in the Gantt chart?

Posted: 07 Jun 2004 08:45 AM PDT

No, there's no way to format cells even using filters!

Ask Microsoft :)

Hi Chris,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Trying hard to read your mind - try setting up a milestone for the finish of
each sub-group and link those FF.

Timesheet reporting

Posted: 07 Jun 2004 05:48 AM PDT

Many thanks Dale.

Do you know whether Project has the facilty on the
timesheet for a resource (user) to enter the ammount of
time there is to complete per task on a timesheet?
Meaning that a task length in a project can shorten or
lengthen depending on the feedback from the resource
(assuming the project manager approves the timesheet).

Thanks,

Andy

Where Does Project Server Data Get Stored

Posted: 05 Jun 2004 03:58 PM PDT

I would like to know the following

1. When I used SQL's Enterprise Manager to look at the underlying databas
I was surprised to find six project server databases labeled ProjectServer
ProjectServer2185, ProjectServer6028, ProjectServer6405, ProjectServer9232
and ProjectServer9880. Why are there six project server databases and whic
one is storing the data

That means, the Project server was installed several times already. (install, uninstall, install, uninstall ...
If you did it in one, you should only have "ProjectServer"

2. What tables are being used to store the data. I looked in MSP_Resource
and MSP_Projects, but didn't find any of my data

It's a relational database. Data for one project are spread in several tables

3. Are there any write-ups that explain the database schema

There's a link somewhere that documents the DB schema in visio format. Haven't found an explanation yet either

4. The reason I am asking is that we may want to write some of our ow
stored procedures to extract data. Is this a good approach or should
stick with the API's that are mentioned in the documentation

It's best to go with API's rather than a direct link to the database

Thanks in advance for your help

Ken

Purpose of duration units.

Thank you for the help

Have a nice day.

change contraint default - Project Professional 2002

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 02:56 PM PDT

The constraint "SNET" being applied automatically is usually a result of
specifying a start date for a task. A basic purpose of Project is to
calculate the task schedule for you, given the project start date, task
durations, and task linkages, and as such you should never, ever input
individual task start and end dates except in those rare circumstances where
you really do intend to have a constraint applied.

Inserting material / tooling costs

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 01:58 PM PDT

Hi Doug,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

There is a Fixed Cost field for just this type of costing. Insert a column
and select Fixed Cost or, better, View/Table:Entry/Cost.

Target versus Published

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 10:16 AM PDT

Spiro T --

In the sample DB, the Project Server administrator created an additional
Version called Target, which probably serves as the original "agreed upon"
version of the project before beginning work. The Published version is
always the current production copy of the project. Your Project Server
administrator could create one or more Versions in your own envrionment,
based on the communication and tracking needs of your organization. If no
custom Versions are created, then the only available project Version will be
the Published version. Hope this helps.

Blank date

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 08:36 AM PDT

Hi Majid,

In a template, the start date is immaterial. When you open the template,
immediately Save As... and give it a new name. Then run the Adjust_Dates
macro to enter the new project's start date.

Work before project actually starts

another consideration would be the effect of the planning phase to the project itself

If planning does not affect the duration, task list and cost of the project, you may incorporate it without any problems

If it does, you may want to divide it

I have forgotten some basics

Hi Donna,

I don't really understand what you're trying to do :( I don't know what you
mean by getting the number to balance - what number? and balance with what?
You assign a resource to the task to undertake the necessary work to finish
the task - you can't fiddle that - it must have a number of manhours of work
to complete. You can't adjust the number of hours as the work might not be
completed in that time. As to your final comment, if you enter 50 manhours
of work, Project will work out the cost based on how you've set up the
parameters of working time and calendars. Can you be more specific on what
you're trying to achieve and how you are doing it?

BCWS in EV report

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 04:17 AM PDT

Do you have resources assigned to those summary tasks? If so that will
seriously distort the work values, thus BCWS. With only one exception that
I can think of offhand, one should never assign resources to summary tasks.
