Glenn,
Yes, go to Format/Layout. I just noted that in Project 2003 at least, no
link lines is the default.

Hope this helps.

2nd Request - Resource Assignment

Posted: 02 Nov 2004 08:56 AM PST

Yes, you can use a single resource pool. All project files point to
same file holding the resources. Fully discussed in Help and in most
book on Project. Best you read it about it there rather try to repeat here.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hi AngePaton,
Glad to hear the toolbar is now working. Did the export to Excel show you
what you wanted to see?

Difference between Project Standard 2003 and "academic" version??

Posted: 30 Oct 2004 01:55 PM PDT

It is my understanding of the standard academic license for Microsoft
products do not permit upgrades. I presume this enforced in software. I
don't have it to check for you. Best you read the EULA for other
restrictions that may get in you way.

I gotta mention, though, that even though on your home computer, you are
still when you install the software agreeing to licensing terms.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

View MS Project file without MS Project

Hi,

another option is to save the plan as a WebPage - this is included as part
of the version of MSProject we use at work. Using this you can filter to
display only the columns (or rows) that will be interest to those needing
read only access. To do this, Save as Webpage and follow the steps in the
wizard.

Cheers

Lnking to give a latest start date

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 03:17 PM PDT

I guess it must be the overall complexity of the plan I am doing.

I have basically seven units each having the essentially the same activities
and logic with the units being sequential. There are three different
contractors working on a unit. One contrator's (c1) work is such that it can
start at the start of the outage or any time up to a period where if the work
starts any later it would not finish no later than 3 weeks before the start
of another contractor's (c2) work on that unit.

Using the method described, leaves the start activity for C1's work at the
earliest possible start time, but if I change it to sart as late as possible
it then works back from the end of the project which can be six units away
and the start of C1's work for a unit ends up years away from where it should
be. The activity needs to start as late as possible in respect only of that
unit not the whole project.

Hence the reason why I have installed a 3 week lag behind the start of the
relevant activity for c2 on the unit, plus the overall duration of c1's work
to give me the latest start date. Where I would then need to modify the lag
is if on subsequent units the durations drop through efficiencies and better
processes then the start date for c1 could change accordingly and I would
then need to re do the duration of c1's work. Basically I want the start of
C2's activity to 'push' the last activity of c1 back 3 weeks from it's start,
and then all the previous activities for c1 would then 'push' back to give
the latest start date.

I am sure I have done it in Projectview, and I certainly used to do it on
tracing paper back in the seventies.

It could be done using each unit as a project plan in it's own right and
then creating a master submaster plan, but have had difficulties with that
method where the plan is on the clients server, but then download it to my
laptop and work on the plan from elsewhere then try to replace the plan back
on the server. Or the client changes the directory for parts of the plan.
either way the links get lost and confused, so I have settled for one plan
for all the units.

As I understand the process of assigning "As late as possible" on a task it
calculates the start date from the end of the project date and not from the
next task.

It has me baffled still. I did try as you suggested and in the predecessor
for T1 put T2FS-21d but that did not shift T2 forward, but rather left it
some weeks prior to the start of T1.
