indent, outdent is faded

Hi Majid,

This means that the table "Entry" no longer exists in your Global.mpt file
Open a file that works (close all the others to simplify)
Tools, Organizer, Tables, select "Entry" on the side of the open Project
Copy to Global.mpt

schedule the weekend but see the Gantt view colored for weekends

Posted: 15 Sep 2004 05:24 AM PDT

Hi Majid,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

By schedule the week ends, I assume you mean to make Sat & Sun working days?
If so, Tools/Change Working Time... and select the column headings S and S
so that they are highlighted (click and drag or ctrl+click the Ss). Select
the Nondefault working time radio bar, and OK. Now repeat the process but
create a New calendar (give it a new name like Base) and revert the Sat &
Sun to non-working. Finally, Format/Timescale.../Non-working time and
select the Base calendar (maybe give it a different colour). That should do
it.

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

Project 2003 will work under Win 2000. AFAIK there is no preference by
Project other than XP is a few years newer and support will last longer.

If there is a preference it will be whichever OS X and Virtual PC
"likes" better. Read the documentation carefully. My experience with
Virtual PC on XP is that as long as there is sufficient memory, it works
terrifically well (at one point I was experimenting with various
products on Windows 2003 Server on top of XP).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Glad the guy who needed it did understand - For a moment I was afraid the
understanding of this logic was by nature restrained to Belgians (who up to
now had all understood this when I explained) but no, Steve got it.

Posted: 13 Sep 2004 02:01 PM PDT

I'd recommend Server newsgroup, however, I encountered this same problem....
This may not help but here's what I found.

Go to your server site, Click on Admin Tab.
Manage Users and Groups
Select the User with the problem
Modify User

I had ONE and only one resource with the Authenticate user by... Microsoft
Project Server instead of Windows Authentication... I changed him over to
using the Windows User Account and everything was fine... I don't know if
you're encounering the same problem but I hope this helps... or at least
points you in the right direction.

Let me know if this helped or give me more information and I'll do my best
to be of further aid!!

Microsoft Project - How do I put a task in without a date?

Posted: 13 Sep 2004 09:24 AM PDT

Amplifying on Mark's question ... a "task" is a piece of observable physical
activity, something tangible being done by a resource. They always occur at
some exact time in the project whether or not you actually have designated
that time in advance on a schedule. You may have a situation where as long
as they are done sometime before the project finishes you'll be fine and so
their schedule is very flexible but that's a far cry from saying they don't
have dates associated with them at all.

Scheduling within a day

Posted: 12 Sep 2004 05:49 AM PDT

Hi Penelope,

About the dates of Gantt Chart,, you obviously asked Project to calculate in
terms of Fiscal year numbering. Not a bug, an option you asked for.
See http://mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
FAQ 1 (Yes the very first FAQ): Strange dates in Gantt? Check Fiscal year.
This is still the same in 2003!

A recurring task is a summary task and as such has a duration spanning from
the start of the first subtask to the end of the latest. That is why
durations of summary tasks do not add up. Don't confuse durations and work!

On a single resource task, Work=duration times assignment units.

When you say "These are not things an expert..." I would rather say "These
are things somebody having been on a basic course should know" - sorry of
your course did not clarify it.

And as for the other "countless" frustrations: do ask, we'll be glad to
help!

HTH

Project 2000 - can't print

Posted: 12 Sep 2004 05:45 AM PDT

A mystery. Did you try deleting the printer and re-installing (a quick
operation)?

Clearly something in Outlook 2003 upgrade over-wrote something that
Project wanted. I guess I would reinstall Project 2002 since it has
install software that detects whats there and may install different and
fix the issue apparently caused by Office 2003.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

How can I get the task's author ?

Posted: 10 Sep 2004 07:33 PM PDT

I understand where you're coming from, but I have to say that I support the
notion that there are other schools of thought on this (and I believe this
is where the question is coming from).

I believe this is the reason that Microsoft built the feature allowing
resources to create new tasks and delegate tasks (to be ultimately
'approved' by the PM by the way) to support more dynamic team models than
the conventional "PM owns the project" approach. Even the "ship's captain",
although responsible for the ship, doesn't assign detailed tasks to the
engine crew... :)

In any event, does anyone know how/if it is possible to get the author of a
task? Perhaps it would be an idea to cross post this in the
microsoft.public.project.developer newsgroup?

Resource calendar *not* overriding Project calendar

Posted: 10 Sep 2004 09:08 AM PDT

Hi Daniel,

Actually, it *is* fixed duration. So, if we change it to fixed units
or fixed work, then it will work with the resource calendar? I'll try
that tomorrow ... when I'm in the office!

Thanks!

Hi,

Every batch is a project... it meets all the criteria defined by PMI and
others.
That is not a stretch but a fact, I'm sorry.
This does not mean there may be products better suited for the job than
Project, as it ignores major requirements such as just in time scheduling
and simultaneity of 2 resources (man and operator).

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your e-mail!
Now I understand your point of view.
Perhaps is my problem that is very particular but now I understand quite
well the mechanism of Project, which is not exactly what I pretend.

Regards and thank you again for your help!

It should work OK, I'd suspect a corrupted installation. Win XP does have a
"compatibility mode" that you might try if re-installing project doesn't
work.
