Hi,

I had tried the double quotes. It does not work either. If I don't put <>
before and after, the only the part of the link up to a space will be
hyperlinked.
ex: file://c:/my documents/january
This would be underlined and blue up to "my". Hence I need the <> for the
whole thing the be underlined and blue. Yet, the link does not work.

Resource or task usage view - summary units

Posted: 19 Sep 2004 01:55 AM PDT

Hi,
I tried on both 2002 and 2003 versions : it works fine for me on the Work
field too. All the work values are using the same unit (hr or day) I choose
in Tools / Options / Schedule.

How do I span a 50 hrs task throughout the 3 months of my project.

Posted: 18 Sep 2004 06:01 AM PDT

Steve,

A valid point........and an omission on my part to include the final step of
amending the task-type....if so required. This was mainly due to the fact
that you'd conveyed a pretty good understanding of the underlying principles
in your initial answer. I felt, however, that your answer could have become
lost amongst such "principles".

I feel equally as strongly as you, about the way project programming needs
to be approached. As such, I also get the urge to convey the basic
principles. However, my experience also tells me that, when a person is
looking for an answer, especially a written one, they need it at the
beginning of the "reply", and with minimal additional "data". By all means
convey the supporting principles and caveats associated with any particular
answer....but even then, it has to be in short, sharp chunks, post answering
the initial question.

Cheers.

Leveling - Resources are not leveled

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 12:43 PM PDT

"Start no earlier" and "must start on" are two very different critters. And
yes, the SNE is perfectly valid for the situation where the task can't start
because the hardware isn't available prior to a certain date - modeling that
reality is exactly why such constraints exist. But your original message
said the tasks have "must start on" constraints. SNE usually won't
interfere with leveling while MSO, "Must Finish On," and "Finish No Later
Than" constraints on tasks following the overallocations almost always will.
MSO means it simply will happen on that date regardless of anything the
resources or PM does, like the scheduling of when Christmas comes you
literally have no control over it.

multipy 2 values in a cell?

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 12:14 PM PDT

Hi Jack,
Thank you for your respond.
I have already "Number 1" for value entry and "Number 7"
for the product based on the micro. This micro is summing
the valuesfor the the filterd projects by the date range
and I am absolutely okay with it.
With respect to my problem, is there any way to customize
the customized column "number 1" to allow me to multiply
two numbers? Maybe I should create another column let
say "number 3" and link the product "number 3" to
my "number 7" which has the micro?
Please advisae.
Regards,
Majid

Can't I save a MS Project Report?

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 09:42 AM PDT


Melissa,
I might as well throw my hat in the ring also. As Mike noted, Project
does not allow built-in Reports to be saved, directly. However, if you
have some experience with VBA, you can develop a macro that takes the
same information in any of the built-in Reports and exports it to
another application. I do it all the time by exporting to Excel. This
approach also allows the report to be customized to your exact needs.

At least this is another option.

Duration ?

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 06:35 AM PDT

There are a couple ways to do this but I think the easiest to follow is this
....

You don't need to worry about the task type or anything like that, the
default "fixed units" type will work fine. Remember duration is the time
span from when work first begins until when it's done - it is NOT the
"window" during which the work might be done before some deadline. So
saying your task is 2 weeks duration and requires 16 man-hours of work means
that the resource is going to be spending a part of each day on it, but not
his full work day, spread out for a period of 2 weeks. For him to
accomplish 16 hours of work (2 workday's worth) output spread out over 2
weeks (10 workdays) means he is devoting, on average, 20% of his energy each
day to the task. Thus over the course of 10 days he creates the same output
that would have taken him 2 days if he had worked on it full-tilt. So enter
the task with either a 10 day or 2 week duration, they're the same thing if
you work a 5 day week, and assign the resource at a 20% assignment level in
the resource assignment window. Project will calculate the task's work for
you to be 16 hours and you're done.

when was the project baselined

Posted: 16 Sep 2004 04:56 PM PDT

Hi Trevor

(how's life "over east"?)
if you're using Project 2002 or 2003 the date is displayed next to the
baseline level under tools / tracking / save baseline. I'm not sure how you
can do it in earlier versions.

Cheers

Coordinating multiple projects

Posted: 16 Sep 2004 01:15 PM PDT

Hi,

I don't understand the logic of not immediately updating. Use deadlines to
show when something in another schedule is needed in yours. I use deadlines,
because showing all tasks swamps the user. Milestones are easier to manage.

The code I've written is for Project 2003 and wouldn't work on Project
2000..

How do I import an existing enterprise resource pool from Project.

Posted: 16 Sep 2004 10:27 AM PDT

Blake --

Exactly where do you see this calendar error? While importing the resources
using the Import Resources Wizard, you do not need to have any projects open
or the Enterprise Global open either.

Read-only from command prompt

Posted: 15 Sep 2004 04:21 PM PDT

If you're running from a cmd prompt - why not just set the file attribute +R
first - and then open the file?
