Downloading standard holidays into Project

Posted: 16 Dec 2004 08:47 AM PST

Easiest way is to edit the Standard calendar on one PC, then use the
Organizer to over write the standard calendar in your Global.Mpt file. Copy
the project with modified Standard to other PCs so they too can use
Organizer to update their Global.Mpt files. Help has more info on this.

Filtering a Plan to display a date range

Posted: 16 Dec 2004 02:07 AM PST

Dave,

Thanks for taking a look.
I meant printing, not creating a report. I can specify to print, say,
01/01/05 to 31/01/05 and that's what I get. If I want to see just the
activities for a particular person, I filter the plan to them, but if I want
to (at this point I'm getting a horrible feeling that I'm answering my own
question...) do a date filter, I get all the summary rows, too, which might
start before 01/01/05, or end after 31/01/05.

I suppose the answer might be to filter and not show summary rows, but this
gives me a problem, as I need to know the name of the project that each
filtered task row applies to, without adding that name into the task name
field each time!

All I want is for my screen to look like my hardcopy!

Hmm, I'll sleep on it.

Thanks again.

Pete

Microsoft Visual Basic: File Not Found error

Posted: 15 Dec 2004 02:21 PM PST

Mike,

I've sent this information to the person having the problem. Does project
by default have macros? I went into tools, macro in my copy of the document
and deleted the macros that showed up. I unfortunately did not make sure the
Macros In box showed the document. I don't see any macros in project now. I
did uninstall and reinstall project but they did not come back.

When I went into the organizer, I did not see a tab for macros. I did this
after I had deleted the macros under tools, macros. Where are they usually
located in the organizer?

The error was also still coming up after doing this.

Hello Richard,
In the Filter drop down list, you must have a filter whose name is "Resource

I have to wonder why you're bothering with such micro-management? A 9
minute task???? Not 8 and not 10??? I'm not saying it can't occur but it
seems very weird, no offense intended. I like to keep the 8/80 rule in
mind - if your tasks are over 80 hours you're not breaking them down far
enough and if they're under 8 hours you're micro-managing to excess. If I
were an employee being told I'm supposed to wax widget alpha between 9:17
and 9:32, I'd probably tell you to take this job and shove it <grin>.
Seriously, as a PM it's very very unusual to have to get more precise than
"Fred, I need you to wax 13 widgets on Tuesday." Fred knows his job, trust
him do it with the dignity of letting him organize his own workday.

indent Spacing

Posted: 15 Dec 2004 08:05 AM PST

Hi,

Theoretically the answer is no, sorry but I once made someone happy with the
following suggestion
In Tools, Options, view, uncheck indent name but check Show Outline number.
Try and see for yourself.

How do I create a work break down structure chart in Project?

Posted: 14 Dec 2004 07:57 PM PST

On top of that, try going to the network diagram view to create the chart.
Turn off the autolayout and drag the boxes where you want.
