Editing Text w/in customized column

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 11:10 AM PST

Hi Gerry,

Can you use your arrow movement keys (left arrow) instead of the backspace
key to move the cursor? The backspace key will delete text as it moves to
the left, the left and right arrow keys should just allow you to move within
the text without deleting.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance and thanks for
the feedback.

Date of project

Hi M,

Sorry, didn't realize you were looking for the VBA answer. I have *very*
limited knowledge of VBA, but when I recorded the steps for setting the start
date, the resulting code was:

ProjectSummaryInfo Start:="1/10/05"

Hope this helps.

Round bar to whole days

I'll concur with Julie. When using the US English version of Pro without
Server a double-click on the selector button beside either the resource name
in the task usage view or by the task name in resource usage view brings up
the Assignment Information form and the contour field and pull-down is on
the first page of both. Is the entire field missing from the pop-up form in
your version or is the field on the form but the picklist of options is
empty?

Totals when reporting by month

Posted: 01 Jan 2005 11:30 PM PST

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the clarification. I begin to understand better now your
scenario and see why you were having difficulty. The milestone report is not
a time-phased report such as the Cash Flow or Who Does What When Report which
can easily show column totals of data by month based upon the time-phased
data.
When you format the milestone report to show you milestones by month,
Project is just grouping the milestone tasks by month for display purposes.

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to run a count by
grouping (per month)based upon your criteria and then a total for the entire
report. To the best of my knowledge, totaling by month in this type of
report is not possible within project. The only suggestion I can come up
with is an export to excel.

Perhaps there is someone else within the community who sees something I don't.

Sorry I wasn't able to assist further. I'll keep pondering and repost if an
idea strikes.

Project 2000 - Can I lock down cost information in Project from us

Posted: 31 Dec 2004 07:03 AM PST

Adding to my other response, I've always felt that if a user is high enough
in the organizationto have actual access to the plannig file, they were high
enough to see the cost data. If not, give them a PDF of the portion of the
information that concerns them.

Dave,
I'm not sure why you say it was painful. That almost sounds like you
manually entered the full path for each external link. If that is the
method you used there are much easier ways. The method I have used is to
set the view to display both the source and destination tasks so they
appear on the same screen (a filter can be used if the tasks are many
lines apart). Then click and hold your mouse on the center of the source
Gantt bar and drag to the center of the destination Gantt bar. The link
will be made automatically including the path if appropriate.

Project keeps crashing

Posted: 30 Dec 2004 12:59 PM PST

It sounds like there are some files that Project is missing when they're not
connected to the network through their docking stations. Without knowing
the specifics of what is different in the whole package when they are in
their docking station versus when they're not it's impossible to say what is
happening. Are they connecting to the same server when they're not at the
their docking station? Are the drive mappings the same? Do they have
access to all the same folders on the server? Does the docking station
contain their network card, an additional hard drive, that sort of thing?

There's nothing in Project that prevents it from running on a laptop without
a docking station - I do it all the time. There is something about your
specific installation that changes when they're undocked that is the key to
the problem. So to track it down, find out exactly what is different.

Hmm - a thought. Go to one of the users with the problem who is able to
connect when the laptop is in the docking station. Undock the laptop.
Unplug the network cable from the docking station and plug it into the
laptop network card directly. Can it load Project or not?

Hi Don,

If you can't open the file at all, then you have no option but to go to a
backup. Sorry
