Newbie Question - How to delay a project

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 02:35 PM PST

If work has not yet begun, you can simply change the project start date:
(Project, Project Information).

If work has been done, nad the remainder needs to be delayed, you can go to
Tools, Tracking, Update Project, Reschedule Uncompleted Work to Begin After:
[set date].

Karen,
Although I tend to agree with Jan there may be a couple of other
possibilities. Is you co-worker using Project 2000 with the SR-1 update?
For that matter, does your version of Project 2003 have the latest
updates? I don't know if that would have any effect but it might be
worth looking into. Another thing to try is saving your Project 2003
file as a Project database. Then see if your co-worker can open it.
Maybe there is some corruption and saving as a database may just clear
it. You might also want to go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43.

Hope this helps.

Hi

this is only possible in the gantt chart if you change it to show the
specific resource's calendar (format / timescale / non-working time,
calendar drop down) and this "works" if you then filter only for the
resource and then print it out ..as you can see it "messes" up the gantt
chart for everyone else.

however, you might like to check out Jan de Messemaeker's site - as he has
an alternative approach which i think works well ...

check out the article under the ENGLISH section - Microsoft Project - An
Abstract
(and needless to say, always try something new on a copy of the project
file!)

Cheers

Your boss also needs to understand that with certain exceptions you do not
input the task start and end dates into Project. It's primary job is to be
a schedule calculator - you tell it when the project can start and then it
tells you all the task start and end dates, not the other way around. If
you are inputting tasks with their start and finish dates that he's somehow
come on his own, you're essentially hunting flies with an elephant gun,
using the software simply to illustrate a schedule, something much more
easily done with a paper calendar and box of magic markers.

compress timescale

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 05:41 AM PST

Hi Kim,

Format, Timescale allows to compres sthe timescale.
This setting, however, is constant through time so you can't selectively
compress, sorry.

how to refer to a task by it's ID number

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 01:23 AM PST

Hi Elena,

That is unfortunately not possible in a formula. You can only address fields
of the task itself, and Project fields.
It is possible in VBA.

Comparing baseline and projected finish dates

hi Alan,

on the MS Project menu bar click VIEW > TABLES > MORE TABLES > VARIANCE.
This will give you the schedule variance. The Variance field shows the
calculated difference between planned and scheduled information.

Is there a way to get text to autowrap in Project, without having.

chuszo,
Which "text" are you trying to autowrap? Basically Project can only wrap
text if there are spaces in the text string. If you are simply trying to
have the Task Name wrap, depending on which version of Project you are
using, row height can either be set for all task rows only (Project 98
and earlier) or individual task rows (Project 2000 and later). There are
two ways to set the row height of all rows. Either select the whole view
and drag one of the row separator bars or go to View/Table/More Tables
and hit the "edit" button for the selected view. In the lower right
corner of the Table Definition window there is a row height adjustment.
This is Project's version of "word wrap". Set the value to whatever row
height is necessary to allow all wrapped text to show.

Hope this helps.

For a Gantt, output it to a gif using EditCopyPicture and stick it on a
web page.
