Blue check mark showing for task with Remaining Work hours

Hi Blake 20,

If you read the FAQ you will see that for questions relating to problems
with Project being used on a server, the correct newsgroup where the experts
hang out is the microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup. Try posting your
query there.

There is an update needed field which will apparently identify if there is a
change made to a task or resource. It needs the project tasks to be set up
with Teamassign etc under workgroups. I have never used this feature ,yself,
but it looks promising.

No I've have not read Mike Glen's series of tutorials yet, but it is on my
list to do so.

Pandian, you get this error when you log into Project Professional without
having Project Manager rights to access Project Professional. Check your
rights for the resource you are using to log into in PWA

Hi Doniy,

You can't use Outlook for newsgroups, you need a newsgroup reader. I use
Outlook Express which is provided free with Windows. If you wish to use
that, I'll give you the steps necessary for setting up an account.

Upgrading from MS Project 98,

janniec,
Are you expecting problems? Granted, new releases of applications quite
often have their share of glitches but there have been 3 versions of
Project released since 98 (not counting the Professional and Server
versions). Everything basically works the same except for added
features. Depending on your needs you may or may not want to upgrade to
the latest version (2003). I personally find that 2000 has everything I
need, is very stable, and can read files created with alter versions.

Using Project 98 to read files created in later versions can be a
problem. The best bet is to upgrade although if the user who creates the
newer file saves it in Project 98 format you should be able to open it.
Keep in mind though that new features added in later versions will not
be accessible in Project 98.

Hope this helps.

Linked tasks - LOST LEVELS!!!

Ned,
Thanks for the more thorough explanation but I'm still confused. You say
that John and Mary are subprojects. I guess it is possible (but highly
irregular) to use a person's name for the file name (maybe it's a code
name or something). However reading further, your post talks about John
participating in some of Mary's tasks. How can a file (subproject)
participate in anything? I suspect that John and Mary are the CAMs (cost
account managers) for two of the subprojects in your master file. In
addition John and Mary may be resources assigned to one or more tasks
within the file along with other resources.

People manage or perform tasks. Subprojects and files are collection of
tasks describing the effort necessary to achieve an overall plan or
goal. Tasks are the detail effort, ideally expressed with action verbs,
to accomplish the plan. Resources (labor or material) are assigned to
tasks to actually perform (or be used in) the tasks.

Now with regard to links between subproject tasks in a master file.
External links should be used between tasks in different subproject
files when there is indeed a true dependency. Through the link,
dependent tasks within one file will update information to the other
file. That is all pretty straightforward.

What I don't understand is why any kind of copy/paste is necessary.
Something is getting lost in translation. If a task in John (or Mary's)
file is NOT linked to a task in the other file, why would you expect an
update in one file to change something in the other file? There is no
interaction!

I'd be glad to offer alternate solutions if I fully understood the file
structure and had a good idea of what you are really trying to do. Until
then, I'm lost.

Viewing schedule on bars

Hi Judy,

Had this question several times before.
A silmilar transformation (turning Calendar holidays into fixed date tasks)
can be done by a macro you will find on my website (see address below -
"English - Microsoft Project - Article"). It may inspire a VBA man to write
what your boss wants.

just to add to Mike's reply - you'll need to be in the Gantt chart view
rather than the Resource Sheet to see the Fixed Cost column.

Cheers

You can also easily output your Gantts to gif files and stick them on
web pages or just post them somewhere as graphics. This can be
automated via macros if you like.

David,
Strange. The next thing I would try is to take the "non-working" file
and saving it under a new name so it can be used as a test bed. First
check to see that the new file still "fails" when attempting to use the
Compare Projects utility. Once you have a test file, try paring it down,
perhaps by deleting half the tasks and see if "size matters". If you can
still see the problem with a smaller file it may be easier to
troubleshoot, although a few months ago another user sent me a file that
was about 5 lines total and it failed when we tried to run the compare.
Unfortunately we never did find a suitable answer to his problem.

Keep me posted.

Earned value vs work contour

Hi Julie,

thanks for the information.

I read the article and I'm glad to see I'm not alone thinking % work
complete is a better way of calculating earned value.
