duration one day, ends next day instead of same day

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 09:07 AM PST

Hi Luigui,

First, set your date format to show you time as well as dates. (Tool
->Options, View tab, set the Date format to show time.) Project calculates
information to the minute, so viewing time as well as the date can frequently
help track down problems.

On the Calendar tab in the Options dialog box, correct the default start and
end times as well as modify the number of hours in a day and a week. It is
this definition of "days" and "weeks" that Project uses when you enter task
durations. So if your project calendar was modified for a 7.5 hour work day,
but the definition of a "day" was 8 hours, the task will not end until 1/2 on
an hour into the next working day.

You may also want to check the start time of your Project (Project ->
Project Information) to verify that the project is starting at the correct
time.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

What is slippage?

Hi Steve

should they have used a finish / start relationship between the "pack
sleigh" and predecessor tasks in this situation?

What happens when I drag a Gantt bar in 2003?

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 12:20 PM PST

Hi Dave,

Were the tasks 100% complete? I can happily drag a completed task around
without constraining it - it just changes the actual start and finish dates.

Just a thought.

How to assign quantity of resources?

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 12:05 PM PST

Hi Glenda,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

As I understand you, you just assign the group by name and the number of
units you require. If you do that, you cannot then assign an individual on
another task - its the group or the individuals by name.

this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

Yes, I think you've nailed it. Thanks a bunch.

Phases question

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 08:23 AM PST

Hi Jack,

Since your Phase column appears to be an alias for Text4;
And since Text4 is a custom field;
It will BY NO MEANS change anything (unles somebody programmed a macro)
So it is indeed just a matter of indenting.

How do I export the Ganatt Chart in *.html and keep the colorful .

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 07:45 AM PST

Hi Matt

use the camera icon (standard toolbar) to take a gif of the gantt chart
- format the timescale correctly first and then select the task names of the
tasks to include - i then use "selected rows" when creating the picture

then use the file / save as web page wizard to create a html page
incorporating the gif. (in the wizard you'll see a check box about
incorporating an image file in the HTML page)

Cheers

Hello John,
What is the name of the View your are working in ? Gantt Chart ? Tracking
Gantt ?
Have you checked in Format / Bar Styles... that you have the following bar
styles :
- Progress : From Actual Start, To complete Through
- Baseline : From Baseline Start, To Baseline Finish

Customize Fields Formula

You might also check to be sure that the file itself does not contain the
old customized fields.
Do it the same way with the organizer, but look on the right side and see
what is embedded in the file itself.
