Goto Selected Task Shortcut?

Posted: 09 Sep 2004 11:35 AM PDT

The shortcut for XP & 2003 is CTRL+SHIFT+F5. Don't know
if this works for older versions, though.

Remove baseline

Thank you much for the correction JulieD... I appreciate it, because I've
never worked with anything earlier than 2002 and did not know that. Learn
something new every day!!

Calendars

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 05:01 PM PDT

If you create additional *base* calendars from a main one and subsequently
change the main calendar there will be no inheritance. However, if you
designate a base calendar for a set of resources and then change the base,
the participating resource calendars derived from the base will reflect that
change.

Switch formula problem

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 01:08 PM PDT

You are welcome. Usually when I write a formula for the first time I start
slow and check the values that I get for each field, then work on the
conditions.

Resource Pool and Standard Calender Changes

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 12:45 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

First, remember a line from my previous post:
(DO NOT FORGET 
You did, didn't you - I mean that you left the definition of "a day" as is

That means that even if the working time per "true day" is reduced to 6
hours, for MS project the exotic, nonstandard time unit (!) called "a day"
is still equal to 480 minutes.
Do read
http://mvps.org/project/faqs.htm,
faq 5: Default Working hous for a complete explanation.

This explains why duration does not seem to change fro tasks with 0%
complete (but do look at start and end times of the task- they will not fit
with the duration shown)

As for semi-completed tasks, they will now show an irregular work pattern: 8
hours for the part that had been completed before the calendar change (most
of the time Project DOES NOT change actuals) and the remaining work is
rescheduled and Project will come up with a differnt duration.

I'm not on a mood to find out exctly how Project calculates this because it
is a situation that should NOT occur. When I teach Project, one of the very
first messages is

BEFORE ENTERING ANY TASK OR RESOURCE, SET THE PROJECT CALENDAR AND TOOLS,
OPTIONS, CALENDAR RIGHT.

That's why I advise you to start afresh with a new project...

HTH

Linking Excel data to MS Project

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 09:59 AM PDT


It's also possible to use MS Project's VBA (Visual Basic for
Applications) interface to bring data from Excel into MS Project.

In article <83e201c495c5$23faa020$gbl>,
microsoft.com says... 

What is the purpose of the question mark (?) in the duration field?

Posted: 08 Sep 2004 06:52 AM PDT

You can get rid of the question mark entirely by going to the tools menu /
schedule tab and unchecking the two boxes that control the behavior of
"estimated durations"

Hi Willi,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item:
43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)

Custom Calendars in MSP 2000

AMEN!! That's why I suggest to people looking for training that they do NOT
look for training in MS Project. Instead they look for training in Project
Management Using MS Project. There is a world of difference!

Hi,

Thanks for that excellent suggestion. It works quite nicely and is less
clumsy than anything else I was attempting :o)

Thanks again,

Unable to reinstall Project Professional

Posted: 07 Sep 2004 01:28 PM PDT

Rod,

Sadly, I don't get as far as the repair option. The
preparing for install window appears followed by another
window stating "Project Professional 2003 cannot be
installed when another instance of Project Professional
2003 is already present." even though it isn't.

Obviously there is an entry in the registry set to
indicate that Project is already loaded, but I haven't
got a clue what it is?

Your help is appreciated.
