Hi Matteo,

Have you looked at the Top Level Tasks report? (View -> Reports, Overview).
It shows only summary tasks. Is that report close to what you want?

Hope this helps. Please post back with further questions.

timescale jumps from year 2005 to 2004 after preview the print

You will have the same problem in 2005 when you want to print dates in 2006.
Sorry, There is no alternative.
You can use a custom field to display the date in a short form if you like.
Use the "Format" function in a customized field.

Here's how:

1. Click View - Toolbars - Customize
2. Click the Commands tab in the Customize dialog
3. In the list of Categories on the left, select the All Commands option
4. In the list of Commands on the right, select the ReportPrintPreview
command
5. Drag the ReportPrintPreview command to the desired toolbar location
6. Right-click on the new ReportPrintPreview item on the menu and click
Assign Macro from the shortcut menu
7. In the Customize Tool dialog, edit the Command text string to read
"ReportPrintPreview To Do List" (do not include the quotes)
8. Click OK
9. Right-click on the new ReportPrintPreview item on the menu and edit the
Name of the menu item
10. Press the Enter key and then click Close
11. Open and project and click the new item on the menu

Please note that you will still be prompted to pick the name of a resource
before it goes to Print Preview. Hope this helps.

Material vs Work

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 09:03 AM PST

You can track material consumption in P2000 or later. In the resource
sheet, enter the item as a material resource (set resource type to
"material" instead of "work"). Enter the unit of measure in the Material
Label column (ie, "feet") and the cost per unit in the Std Rate column.
When you assign resources to a task, enter the estimated material
consumption in the units column right along with the work resources ...

Name Units
Bill Carpenter... 100%
Joe Carpenter... 100%
Lumber ............500 feet

note: all you have to enter is the number, Project will supply the units
based on the material label entry

You can also enter consumption as a rate, ie, electricity 500kw/hour, if
that is more accurate and Project will multiply your entry by the task
duration to compute the total consumption.

The cost of that resource will be included in the task cost and you can use
the usage views to get both the number of feet and the cost per task and
total usage and costs of that resource. The timephased side of the usage
views will show you resource consumption over time.

As far as tracking progress by materials consumed, that seems a pretty hazy
concept to me. The primary concerns are almost always about whether you're
on time and within budget. The number of feet of lumber used out of the
total expected to be used without regard to the status date doesn't give you
any information about either of those primary managment problems that can
make or break a business.

In Project 2003 (SP1) I get unexpected leveling results

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 07:41 AM PST

Hi,

Just to specify that both options (Leveling can split and Level Individual
assignments) are available on Task level so you can decide which taks can
not be split.
The Boolean field are called Leveling Can Split and Level Assignments

The thing is, you are putting the project into MS Project in order to
determine the timelines. That's what it does - calculate timelines. As I
often put it, you don't tell Project the timeline you want, it tells YOU the
timeline you can have! You can certainly hide the start and finish fields
and display other fields in their place but that doesn't stop Project from
populating the real start/finish fields for all the tasks or placing the
Gantt bars according to the results of its calculations.

Global.mpt settings

I am on a network but my PC is a laptop and I also run project when I'm not
on the network. I have admin privileges on the laptop itself (not the
network).
When running without the network I get the global.mpt file that doesn't have
any of my own modules in it (I just tried it before responding to you).
Given when I'm on the network I can do whatever I want to the global.mpt
with my modules in it I would say I have write access.
 

whats the difference in files (and sizes) between project std 200.

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 11:13 PM PST

You might poke around in the registry. There is probably something there
which tells the difference. I don't have both installed so I can't tell you
if there is any difference

J,
This is a Microsoft Project newsgroup. Since you are working with
PowerPoint, I suggest you post to a newsgroup that specializes in that

Hi Rod

Thanks for replying - but where is the macro? I can't see it in this reply.

Thanks
