Karen,
I'll add just one thing to Julie's response. Be aware that each new
version of Project has additional features. If you used some features
available only with 2003, they will not be available to your co-worker.
Generally this is not a problem with Project 2000 through 2003, but it
might be a consideration.

Using different sets of resources

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 11:59 AM PST

Hi Cindy,

I'm afraid not in the same sense as the shared resources through a pool
file. You can create a value list in one of the custom Text fields and can
copy the value list from one file to another, but it won't be the same as
being able to pull resources from a shared resource pool file.

About the only work around I can come up with for wanting the Directors to
come from the pool would be to create a separate task (perhaps a milestone)
and actually assign the director to that task.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions or would like
more detailed information about creating the value list.

Activate/deactivate sub-projects

John,
Subproject tasks can be hidden as I noted before. Turning "off" linkages
is a little trickier. The "only" standard way to do that is by deleting
the links. Even if the subproject is deleted from the master, the
existing links between that subproject and other subprojects will still
be active.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If a subproject is part of
the overall plan, under what circumstances do you need to make it
inactive? It's either part of the plan, (and links are relevant), or it
isn't. If we better understood what your goal is instead of the method
you want to use to accomplish it, we could be of more help.

Having Problems with EVA Calculations

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 03:01 PM PST

Hello Elizabeth,
If you got the calculations OK after a second Baseline, that means that the
first one was not "valid" : I means that may be you saved the first baseline
*before* assigning resources, or before setting costs for resources....
Nevertheless, don't save a new baseline every week ;-)

Exporting timephased data...

Kevin,
I'll add a couple comments to Dale's response. As Dale suggested,
starting from the Resource Usage view will give the timephased data for
each resource. If the export is also done from the Task Usage view, the
timephased data for each Task is exported. Depending on the file
structure, the resulting Excel Worksheets can be combined to give a more
complete picture (i.e. timephased data for Resources and their
assignments). This method works best if there is only one resource per
task - not an unusual structure.

I you have, (or know someone who has), VBA experience, another option is
to develop a custom VBA routine to export all the data you need and
format it in any way you need.

Hope this helps.

Number of hours in a workday

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 01:05 PM PST

Hi Kathee,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

If you change the definition of a day in Tools/Options... you will have to
re-enter all the Durations as changes to the default like these are not
retrospective.

You might like to see FAQ Item: 5. Default Working Hours

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/

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

Thank you again, Julie.
These two suggestions will be huge timesavers.
Now if only we can find out why it is all necessary...

Tasks not appearing in Calendar

Sorry, Vix, I don't have a server, that's why I directed you to the server
newsgroup where you're more likely to get an answer.

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks. I assume you are referring to a view in Project Web Access, not
directly through Microsoft Project. I'm afraid I haven't worked extensively
with server and can't help much further.

Although several of the regular responders here do use server, you may get a
quicker answer by posting your question to the Project Server NG.

Earned value: what's wrong with MS Project

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 07:07 AM PST

Hi Jan,
Your reply started me "playing" with EV based upon % complete & Physical %
complete and I found an interesting "feature." On tasks that were 100%
complete (both Work %, and Physical % complete) I found that I could make the
BCWP values disappear completely, both in the EV table and the timescaled
view.

I added the EV Method field to the EV table applied to the Task Usage view.
When I changed the EV Method back and forth for individual tasks and forced a
recalculation (F9), the BCWP values would disappear if the EV method was set
to Physical % complete and then re-appear if I set the EV method back to %
Complete and forced a recalculation.
This does make me wonder (like you) how valid the data is.
Hmm.... I think this one is going to keep me awake for a few nights......

If anyone has some thoughts, I'd be interested in hearing them.

Julie
