How to enter duaration 4h and 32 min?

Mindaugas,
Project will support either hours or minutes in time based fields but
not both. In other words, you will need to enter the duration in hours
and fractional hours or in minutes. To facilitate the conversion of all
Duration values to minutes you can run the built-in macro called "Format
Duration". Go to Tools/Macro/Macros and find "Format Duration" in the
selection list. Then hit "run".

You should be aware that Project calculates all time related data to the
nearest minute so even if a duration is entered as "hours" it is
actually treated as minutes. For example, internally Project stores 1
hour as 60 minutes. The setting suggested by Andrew in his response
applies only to the visual presentation in the view.

Hope this helps.

Steve, I read another discussion on this topic where you went through the
options settings, not having dates hardcoded, flexible contraints: and it
seems that I have done everything right, but still the tasks do not move, no
matter whether the update is automatic or manual and I hit F9.

Copy & pasting data into Excel from project 2000

Carmen,
What type of data are you trying to copy and paste? If it is static data
(i.e. not timescaled from one of the Usage views), you can use the
export map method suggested by Andrew. However, if the data is
timescaled you should try using the "analyze timescaled data in Excel"
add-in/utility found on the Analysis toolbar. A third option is to
develop a VBA macro to export and format the exact data you need. In my
opinion, if you are dealing with timescaled values and need to do the
transfer on a regular basis, a macro is the way to go.

Hope this helps.

is there a way to limit outdenting task in project

Posted: 30 Nov 2004 10:39 AM PST

Are you asking if one can prevent selected users from outdenting or are you
saying one user has a problem outdenting while another user can do it ok?

Project Central 2000 Installation

I actually went to that website but it doesn't address my problem. It seems
to only address when SQL is installed, not MSDE.

I will post on the server site. Thanks,

OK. Kim. Whne you click File/Open, the dialof opens in the directory where
the files are stored. This is controlled via Tools/Options.../Save tab/File
locations. So just move the file to a different directory or move it to a
CD.

PjSvrNPE Errors

Posted: 30 Nov 2004 09:31 AM PST

Hey Mike thanks for providing the faq link. I figured this posting was
better suited for the Pro_and _Server group but it had previously been posted
there with no response so I thought (hoped) that I might actually get a
response if I posted in the general section as well. Just trying to increase
my odds at finding some information as I have found NOTHING on the Microsoft
site regarding this error.

Columns..limit

Posted: 30 Nov 2004 07:45 AM PST

Hi Anna,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

You can create a column for every field that you can insert via
Insert/Column/... click the dropdown arrow and browse through the fields
available. ( You can insert duplicates but this would seem pointless!)

Somebody please explain actual work to me....

Hi ProjectNewbie,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I can't explain why Project does what it does, but you are assuming a lot!
Firstly, work is done by resources and thus to enter manhours of work
without the man does not make any sense. Equally, entering actual work
without a worker doesn't make sense. Finally, as you have an 8-hour day,
trying to force Project to squeeze 9 hours into 8 hours makes even less
sense. I doubt whether the developers even considered anyone entering such
fallicies :) No, please use Project in the way it was designed and then
post your problems. If you don't know how to enter the details, I strongly
suggest you attend a 2 or 3 day course to get an good inroduction to how it
works. At least have a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the
TechTrax ezine at this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc or this:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMFrame.asp?CMD=ArticleSearch&AUTH=23
(Perhaps you'd care to rate the articles before leaving the site, :)
Thanks.)

Urgent Circular References

Posted: 30 Nov 2004 06:37 AM PST


Andrew,
I'm not sure what a "bugbear" is but I will assume it is something to
avoid. Actually, MSP does not behave in random fashion. One problem we
humans have with computers is that they tend to behave in exact ways
based on a strict set of rules and that of course is counter to the way
we think (i.e. we are more adaptable and assume a lot of things true or
not). You are correct though that a large plan will likely have many
linkages which can be difficult to manage. Such a plan requires care and
feeding by its human caretaker.

Is it really an issue? You would understand that if you have changed your
plan, you can no longer make a meaningful comparison against the original
plan.

Task Start Date

Posted: 29 Nov 2004 07:55 AM PST

Not true - ASAP means as soone as possible after the project start date, not
the current date. The default placement of tasks to either the project
start date or the current date only applies to the date it will be scheduled
to start when it is first entered into the plan. Once it's there that
setting has no effect and tasks won't be rescheduled simply by opening the
file on a later date.

Connection to project server failed

Posted: 29 Nov 2004 07:41 AM PST

Hi,

Following from this we tried installing the latest version of MDAC (2.8)
however this has similarly caused a connection failure ---

Connection Failed:
SQL State '28000'
SQL Server Error 18456
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server]Login Failed for user
"MSPojectUser1395"

We want to try the earlier version of MDAC (2.7 SP1) however I cannot find
any unistall utility for MDAC and trying to install the old version doesnt
work.

Does anyone know of an uninstall utility for MDAC??

Cheers for any help

Lee

When you edit the value and exit regedit the change is automatically saved.
Don't know what else to tell you as that's the only info I have.
