Update Project Dialog Box

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:53 AM PST

Hi Anita,

Those settings control how Project updates % Complete on tasks that should
have been in progess (but not finished) as of the status date (date appearing
in the Update Project dialog box). The choice set 0-100% complete would mark
a task that should have been started by not completed as of the date the
appropriate % complete. For example, a 10 day task that that started on 28
April 2005 should have been 50% complete as of 4 March 2005. If I choose
"set 0-100% complete it is marked as 50% complete.
If I choose 0 or 100% complete only the same task with the same update date
(4 March) the % complete is not touched by Project because it is not
scheduled to be completed until 11 March 2005.

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

to show actual % of work completed

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:23 AM PST

Hi ML,

I'm not sure from your post if you want to show the % work complete in the
task sheet (in which case follow "Project Slaves" direction) or as text next
to the bar in the Gantt chart. To show % Work Complete next to the bar,
choose Format> Bar Styles. Find the bar for the task type (Normal, Critical
etc.). At the bottom of the Format Bar Styles dialog box, click the Text
tab, select where you want the text to appear (Left, Right etc.) and select %
Work Complete from the field list.

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

How do you remove a subproject from a master project?

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:13 AM PST

Hi Todd,

Have you installed SP-1 for Project 2003? The ability to remove a subtask
was a bug that was fixed. See the KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834684

The hot fix referenced was included in SP-1.

See KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;837240
for details and download instructions.

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

Jack,
I respect your opinion. Thanks for weighing in.

Actually with regard to the accounting month issue, the method I use
does not try to do it all in Project. Like you said, the Project
timescale can NOT be changed to accommodate a non-standard calendar.
However, the data CAN be converted and exported to an application where
it can be readily integrated with other company financial systems.

With regard to cost. If a macro or add-in is developed to provide needed
functionality, why can't it be made available to all users in a company,
whether there are 10 employees or 10's of thousands? It is no different
than existing add-ins and utilities.

And I do agree, some of the requests for added "functionality" are NOT
worth the effort to write up in code. I think we have both seen that on
this newsgroup. However, I think it is always wise to think outside of
the box, but it isn't always worth the effort to implement the resulting
solution.

Can I set repeating subtasks for each task entered in Project?

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 09:43 AM PST

Hi Laura,

The macro not recording the indent is odd. If you look at the VBA code in
the VB Editor does the code include the text "Outline Indent" (without the
quotes.)

As far as the linking to previous tasks, that is controlled Project wide
through Tools>Options the Schedule tab and the choice "AutoLink Inserted or
Moved Tasks". If that option is on, you should see the linking occurring
even without the macro.

What version of Project are you using?

I need to specify time as well as date in Constraint Date

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 07:26 AM PST

Hi Mike

absolutely, firstly ensure that you're seeing your times in the start &
finish columns (tools / options / view - change the date format to one that
includes the time as well) .. now when you set your constraints (an
remember, try to minimise the number of constraints in a project - use links
instead where possible) ... choose the date as per normal then at the end of
the year bit click in the cell, press the space bar and type the time (e.g.
7:00 am)

Hope this helps

can't find Microsoft Project 9.0 OLE DB on my list of OLE DB Providers

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 06:50 AM PST

Hi Julie,

Yes the Project 10 OLE DB provider did appear once I went to the
"Other/Advanced" choice in the Data Connection Wizard.

According to the Prjoledb.htm file "To view data access pages on a local
provider, you need to use Microsoft Access 2000 or 2002 along with Microsoft
Project installed on the computer viewing the provider. Microsoft Project
automatically installs the OLE DB Provider, any international .dll, the
appropriate registry keys, and any needed ActiveX controls."

So I don't know if modification of your installation of Project is in order.
Sorry, I installed project so long ago I don't recall the installation
settings I selected. I do know I installed Project *after* installing Access.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Auto Filter

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 02:34 AM PST

Hi Empowerment Group,

Are you typing in the test or selecting it from the list of durations in the
Custom AutoFilter? If you are typing, are you adding the quotes around the
duration or just entering the number and measurement unit? If I type in "3d"
with the quotes, I get a message "The entry is not valid." However, typing in
the quotes shouldn't work for any filter in the duration field.

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

Joe,

This NG is dedicated to the Microsoft Project software. You would have
better luck posting in an NG dedicated to Outlook.
