Problem with graphical indicators in PWA

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 01:53 PM PST

Sometimes this happens if you do not publish, save, and close the project.
Try that, if you haven't already, then refresh PWA

Adobe Reseller volume License

Well, you're totally in the wrong area, because Acrobat is not a
Microsoft product. Adobe is its own company. Search through whatever
newsgroup service you're using for "Adobe Acrobat", and you should find
it.

Saving the Gantt to share it with others

Posted: 01 Apr 2005 11:05 AM PST

Hi Pablo,

You might want to see FAQ #16 "Project Viewer" at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

for some additional information. You can "take a picture" of your Gantt
chart and then embed that picture in an HTML (web page) file that you can
email to other users. The first paragraph of the FAQ describes the process.

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

Hi Julie

will that make C's predecessor B or A

were both successors to A

Create customized formula in a column to calculate the # of weeks.

If the project has only one go-live task, it can be done. No macro
necessary. Even with multiple go-live tasks, it might be possible, depending
on requirements.

compress time scale

Hi Kim

if you mean only printing out bits of the project where there is activity in
a gantt chart view, then no, this is not possible - only real option, is to
print out the gantt chart, cut & paste onto a new sheet of paper & then
photocopy - or use the camera icon to capture a picture of your gantt chart
and use a drawing program to cut & "stitch" the picture back together.

How does MS Project determine PERT pessimistic and optimistic?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 07:37 PM PST

I'm not a statistician, but from reading about this, I understand that
PERT analysis is outdated and basically misleading at best, erroneous
at worst, because it doesn' t take into account the cumulative risk
along a given path, just the individual risk of each task. If you're
going to get real, use Monte Carlo analysis. There are a number of
tools out there that do this.

Create task with Task ID = 0?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 04:39 PM PST

You can use a text field to hold you own ID,use formula ID-1 , or other more
complex,meaningful custom ID, for example Civil-C2-1 ([text1] & "-" & [text2]
&"-" & [ID]),you can build intellegent into your ID as we can do in P3

Hide salary

This is definitely a big problem with Project. It's not unusual for
staff people to implement the scheduling on a daily basis, but they
shouldn't have access to confidential pay data. Don't know if MS is
even addressing this issue. Does anyone?

What exactly is MS Project?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 12:47 PM PST

Max,
Project is Scheduling software, primarily used to implement Critical
Path Scheduling for a work effort involving multiple resources over a
finite period of time. Like building an office, creating software,
going to the moon or climbing Mt Everest. It's NOT for ongoing efforts
like running a business or manufacturing.
Like a lot of software, it can be used at different levels of
sophistication and comensurate difficulty.
I'd reccommend you go to the bookstore and sit down with a copy of "MS
Project for Dummies" or one of the more basic manuals and read the
first chapter. And visit the MVP website.
Best of luck.

Programming progress bars

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 10:27 AM PST

The problem is that the % complete field is calculated partially on the
duration field. We would like to calculate it based on work and actual work
(ie actual work/work * 100 - This would give "actual" % complete). We would
like the progress bar to reflect this calculation.

We have created the schedule based on a fixed work schedule. No matter how
long the task is, the BCWP is based on the actual work that is performed and
the alloted hours (work field) for the task.

Thanks for your help
