Creating a custom field in Project Server

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 02:47 PM PDT

Know nothing --

To create the custom field, your Project Server administrator would need to
complete the following steps:

1. Open the Enteprise Global file
2. Create a new custom enterprise Task number or text field
3. Create a new Table and View through which users can enter data in the
new field
4. Save the Enterprise Global file

The next time that project managers log into Project Server through
Microsoft Project Professional, they will be able to access the new field,
Table, and View. Hope this helps.

Have you tried setting the Week starts on: to Tuesday? That might work.

Project 2003 and SQL Server 2000

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 07:23 AM PDT

What I was hoping for was something like:

1) add these references....
2) In the VBA:
CnxnTechSQL.Provider = "SQLOLEDB"
CnxnTechSQL.Properties("Data Source").Value = "Primero"
CnxnTechSQL.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = "Techni"
CnxnTechSQL.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"
CnxnTechSQL.Open

then

'===============================
Set rsJob = New ADODB.Recordset
'===============================
sql = "SELECT * FROM JOB WHERE [JOBNUMBER] = " & some variable
rsJob.Open sql, CnxnTechSQL, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
If Not rsJob.BOF And Not rsJob.EOF Then
rsJob.MoveFirst
get data and put is somewhere in project
endif
rsJob.close
Set rsJob Nothing

CnxnTechSql.close
set CnxnTechSql = nothing

==That is kind of what I am hoping to accomplish. Is that sort of thing
possible?

Fixed cost on tasks

Hi,

Even better, use the fixed cost field (f.i. via Insert, Column)

X.94 days duration?

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 04:29 AM PDT

To reiterate what Jan said - you should NOT enter start or end dates for
tasks except under the very specific circumstances where you need to
establish contraints. And if you do, you can't enter both - the results
you get if you try depend on the order you enter them and the links coming
into the task in question.


Several entries in Project interact. First, on the Tools Options Menu page
there is the "hours per day" field. When you enter a duration of X days it
controls how many hours that converts to. Then there's the Project Calendar
which determines how many hours there are between, say, Monday at 8am and
Friday at 5pm, that are counted as duration hours. Whatever the working
hours as defined by your Project Calendar are between your start and end
dates & times (and all dates are actually date/time fields), converted to
the units of "day" as governed by the "hours per day" setting, is what is
going to be displayed in the duration field. Further interacting, if you
typed in those start and end dates, the entries on the Option page for
"default start time" and "default end time" are the times at which project
will schedule the task's start or end constraints.

Milestone external link problems

Posted: 20 Oct 2004 04:03 PM PDT

Hi,

1. I thought we had solved the external task thing? I was now replying to
your complaint that the lozenge representing the milestone was on the wrong
spo.
Is that still your problem?

2. Any task can be a moilestone. That is controlled by the checkbox "Mark
task as milestone" inTask Information, Advanced. The 0 duration is not a
definition, it is only a default.

Need a way to push out entire timeline irregardless of dependencie

Posted: 20 Oct 2004 12:25 PM PDT

Hi Lamby74,
That is odd. Do the tasks have constraints on them *after* running the
update Project command? What release of Project are you using?
I have tested what I *think* you have done in Project 2003 with SP1 and it
happily moved the dates back.

Use 15ed (for elapsed days) as the lag.

Not directly: you can hyperlink to a menu.

Dependency on recurring tasks

Posted: 19 Oct 2004 05:57 AM PDT

If the meeting happens at a set time each month (say, the last week of the
month) you could set up a recurring task (called 'approval' perhaps) and
assign this task a calendar with only the last week of each month as working
time, so if you miss the window for the first meeting, you then have to wait
for the next. (if you can get the dates for these meetings well in advance,
you can narrow your calendar down to be a little more precise). This isn't
an entirely elegant solution, but can be made to work as a grubby
workaround... my favourite ;-).
