How do I prevent overallocation of a resource for tasks < 0.5day

Posted: 22 Nov 2004 08:45 AM PST

Hi Jonathan,

You must have Automatic leveling on with the day as granularity.
When you have the two tasks leveling will not see any overallocation on the
day because there is nout more tahn a day's work.
The 200% peak units only exist in the morning.
A third task will create an overallocation and leveling will push it into
the next day.

You can avoid this by taking a lower granularity in Leveling (hour or
minute)
My advice on top of that is that you read all about leveling especially when
you have automatic leveling in.

Hi Rich,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

You could make the lag "2 edays" as elapsed time.

Reporting Project Schedule Variance with a Stoplight View

Posted: 22 Nov 2004 05:59 AM PST

Hi

Mike Glen in his tutorial on Project uses the stoplight concept in relation
to costs...
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=403

and here's a formula i developed in response to another post on a similar
question
IIf([% Complete]<>"100",IIf([Finish]-[Baseline Finish]>7,"over
week",IIf([Finish]-[Baseline Finish]<=0,"on target","week")),"NA")

which compares (and returns text) based on the difference between finish &
baseline finish. You can use the text outputted by this formula (modified
to what you want) to link to the graphical indicators.

see how you go with this and if you require further assistance, please feel
free to post back.

Cheers

Problem about Font Formatting (Project 2003)

Posted: 20 Nov 2004 02:21 AM PST

Hi raduga_fb ,

It sounds as though something is corrupt. We need to discover whether your
project is at fault, whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your
PC. Does the symptom occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur
with this project on other PCs? Does it occur with other projects on other
PCs? If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ
Item: 43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption.

Project 2000 Large Format Printing

Posted: 19 Nov 2004 03:01 PM PST

it sounds to me as if the gantt chart to be displayed is "naturally" about
11 pages wide, by 0.5 page high.

This is quite common - the width is dictated by the column widths + the
gantt timescale, while the height is dictated by the number of tasks & the
fonts used.

When you select "fit to 1 page tall by 1 wide", MSProject simply scales the
chart to fit on the page. In your case, this means that the chart will be
about 1/11th the original size (to fit the 11 pages wide onto a single
page). Project keeps the height+width in proportion, so the height will also
be scaled to 1/11th its original size - that's why it ends up about 1/22nd
page height.

The main thing you can do is to adjust the timescale of the gantt to be more
compact or show less time, that way the chart will have width-to-height
proportions more like your paper proportions, so any scaling will be more
likely to fill the entire page (even if its been scaled so much that text is
unreadable).

Hope this helps

New Version

Those who know can't tell.

However, looking at history you can see some pattern of release history for
Project and Office in general. At least since 2000 they have been released
on similar schedules.

You can also expect Project to follow the GUI changes which Office uses. As
for actual scheduling features, you will have to wait until they make some
sort of public announcement.

How to export a MS project 2000 into MS project 95?

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 06:13 PM PST


Urgotera,
Gerard already provided the answer but if you do not have Project 98 I
will translate the file for you. If you would like me to do that, zip
the Project 2000 file and send it to me via e-mail. If it is not corrupt
I will translate so that Project 4.x (i.e. Project 95/97) can open it.
Keep in mind however that some data may be lost since Project 2000 has
more fields and features than the older versions.

Opening Project Server projects

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 02:50 PM PST

Steve --

If your Project Server administrator has set permissions to allow you to
publish non-enterprise projects, then yes, the projects will be visible in
PWA and you can see the data in the MSP_WEB_PROJECTS table. However, you
cannot see the projects in the Open from Project Server dialog because you
never SAVED the projects in the Project Server database. You have started
down the wrong path with this tool, my friend. The correct process for
using Project Server is:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with Project Manager
permissions or higher
2. Create a project
3. Click File - Save and save the project in the Project Server database
4. Publish the project using Collaborate - Publish - All Information

If you follow the above steps, you can see the project in both Microsoft
Project and PWA. To correct your problem, I would recommend that you ask
your Project Server administrator to delete any non-enterprise projects from
the Project Server database, and also disallow the permission to publish
non-enterprise projects. Next, I would recommend that you follow these
steps:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with Project Manager
permissions or higher
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Import Project to Enterprise
3. Using the Import Project wizard, locate the first .mpp project and
import it into the Project Server database
4. Pay special attention to the page on matching local resources with
enterprise resources
5. Repeat this process for every .mpp project

To answer your last question, you open the Enterprise Global and Enterprise
Resource Pool by doing the following:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with administrator
permissions
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options
3. Select either Open Enterprise Global or Open Enterprise Resource Pool

Because of your foundational misunderstandings about Project Server, I would
recommend that you consider purchasing our company's books on Project Server
2003 by clicking the URL in my signature block. Hope this helps.
