Darrell --

When you create a new custom enterprise task or project field and then open
an existing project, you need to press the F9 key to recalculate the
project. Your action in removing a task from the critical path caused a
recalculation, which then forced the new field's formula to recalculate as
well. Open each of your projects and press the F9 key and then republish
your project. Hope this helps.

Width of Weeks on Gantt Chart

Posted: 14 Apr 2005 01:26 PM PDT

You need to go fiddle with File Menu/Page Setup. It does not always behave
rationally so you might try changing things around and see what happens.
There is also a timescale setting in FileMenu/Print. When you get it close
to what you want it is best to stop while you are ahead!

Gantt Chart Timeline Wrong

Posted: 14 Apr 2005 11:20 AM PDT

Hi Cloudburst99,

From viewing some of your other posts it appears as though there is
something odd going on with your printing of Gantt charts. Take a look at
FAQ #44 "Printing Problems" at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

What version of Project are you using?

Gantt Chart - Blue Bars

Posted: 14 Apr 2005 07:50 AM PDT

If you can't see them because they are off-screen, simply select the
task in the list, then click on the "GoTo Selected Task" button near
the right end of the standard toolbar.

Keeping your Project leveled as you update it

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 11:29 PM PDT

Hi Scott,

Once again instea of describing what happens you say the thing goes crazy.
That makes it a bit difficult to explain because it is not crazy at all, it
just shows wht you entered.
When you put in actual work, Project will not change that. Actual is
supposed to reflect the reality as it happened, and Project is designed to
calculate plans, not mo modify the reality as it happens.

Re-writing history is best left to politicians :-))

And having one task with multiple resoruces is to me not teh best way to use
project. Best is to describe each task separately; ideal is tio have only
one resource per task.

Critical Paths in Gantt chart

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 08:02 PM PDT

Hi Babu,

Have a look at this site: http://www.mvps.org/project/networkanalysis.htm

When you've followed it through, have a look at the final network diagram
which shows the ciritical path. If, however, the Machine task, which has a
duration of 3 and a slack of 8, had a duration of 11, it would have no slack
and thus also be critical. Thus the critical path would go through the
Machine task as well.

For another example, if we were to add a project management task which
lasted the whole project's duration, it would also be critical.

We would now have 3 critical paths :)

Hop this helps,

pros and cons of Primavera

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 05:06 PM PDT

That link is to information about Primavera's legacy tool Primavera Project
Planner ("P3"). This has had very little development in the past 5+ years.
While there are still many P3 users, many have already converted to
alternative solutions that first emerged almost six years ago.

In any event, I suggest that this NG is not the best place to get up-to-date
information on Primavera.

How do I save a GANTT chart in either GIF or JPG format?

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 02:40 PM PDT

Thanks everyone, you guys rock! I knew I used to do it, but I forgot about
the camera. It's so stupid that they make it hard to find (ie: no cross
index for "gif").

Thanks again,

Yes, but only .mpx format, although Primavera (and others) has a utility
that will convert .mpp to ,mpx. Most of the other Primavera solutions
support .mpp, and even allow MS-P data to reside within a Primavera
database.

Compare Utility with External Tasks

Et,
I don't like the sound of, "links to links to links". If it is what it
sounds like, you are courting file corruption. I can see a big
complicated mess with tons of links on some very large files (I worked
with such a beast last week), but if you only have 36 links and less
than 200 tasks, your file should be pretty clean (at least in theory).

I guarantee you will have the same UIDs in different files but that is
not a problem because they are not duplicate. The link address not only
includes the UID but it also includes the file name.

Confirm which Project products are necessary

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 08:47 AM PDT

I understand your intent, but I think you are forgetting that software is
perishable. Microsoft has something like a five year support lifecycle for
Project. That means that Proj2003 has only about three years left. In
addition they seem to be releasing new versions every 2 - 3 years. Since it
has been two years since Proj2003 was released, the clock is certainly
ticking... If they are planning to move to Project Pro sometime soon then it
is a good idea, but if they are thinking about a year or two from now then
they may be better off waiting and upgrading when and if project200x comes
out.

How do I add a custom column to a resource report?

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 07:13 AM PDT

Hi Rich,

To add to JulieD's suggestion, if you added the [Text1] column to a task
view, depending upon which resource report you are printing, the data may
still not appear. There are three different sets of custom fields, one for
tasks, one for assignments, and one for resources. So if you added the
data to the task [Text1] field and print a report that is based upon the
resource table, even if you include the [Text1] field, you will not see your
data as you are adding the [Text1] field from the resource side.

Take a look at FAQ #37 at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

for some additional information and a piece of VBA code to transfer data
from a text field to an assignment field.

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

Gantt chart with two critical paths?

"Bill gates" <Bill microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Bill,
Let me expand on Gerard's comment. When I think of Critical Path I don't
think just in terms of THE main Critical Path. It is very likely
(probably most likely) that in any given project, multiple logic paths
lead to some end milestone. Each path may be from a particular
functional organization's tasks necessary to complete the project. One
organization's activities may or may not interact with other
organizations. Even though there may be only one (but possibly more for
the reason Gerard noted) primary Critical Path, there is also a
secondary, a tertiary, etc. path. For good project management it isn't
always sufficient to just look at the worst case scenario but to also
look at the "next up" problems. It's kinda like a Prateo (sorry if I got
the spelling wrong) analysis where you not only look for the immediate
issues but also get a "heads up" look at the next group of problems that
are ready to appear.

One way to look at more than just the top layer of issues is to set the
Critical Path threshold to a value greater than "0"
(Tools/Options/Calculation tab). Then do a sort to look first at Start
Date and next at Total Slack.

There is also an option for having Project calculate multiple Critical
Paths. It is located at: Tools/Options/Calculation tab.

Maybe this is more than you wanted to know but hope this helps.
