Thanks for the help Steve.

That has at least told me which parameters I can ignore and which to
provide. Might be getting somewhere now!

Sorry but no there is not a way to do this.

It could be written but it would take about 200 times longer to write a
macro to do this for you than it would to just do it. :-)

Cost per mo

Posted: 15 May 2005 11:29 PM PDT

A basic point - the budget of yor project is not the same thing as what you
pay your resources per unit of time. IT is what you pay your resources to
do the actual work that is driectly involved in the project. If you have
Joe who gets $2500 per month and he works on something in your project for 1
hour, doing something else the rest of the month, his cost to your project
really is only ~$16, not his full salary. Let whoever he was doing the
other stuff for pay him for that work out of their budget, not yours <grin>.
And as Rod already said, you should use what is known as a "burdened labour
cost" with adjustments for benefits, hiring and training costs, office space
and utilities, etc, instead of base salary so you are accurately reflecting
the true costs to your firm of doing that project.

Costs in Project reflect the actual costs of doing that project, not the
overall costs of doing business. Unless your resources are all external
contractors, you'd have to pay that resource even if you didn't do the
project at all. What counts from a project costing, roi, etc perspective is
what it costs you to do that work in contrast to all the other things you
could be doing. Even if your costs of doing business don't increase when
you do the project, there still is an opportunity cost to be factored in
based on the fact that you're committing resources here and so can't commit
them there.

MS Project Preferences

Posted: 15 May 2005 08:39 AM PDT

Some settings are "above the line" and are general settings that are
remembered from project to project. Others are "below the line," project
specific settings that are saved as part of the project file. The status of
the Project Summary Task is one of the latter. If you tuen it on and then
save your project it will be on when you reopen it.

automating outline levels

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:09 PM PDT

I'm not certain I understand, but maybe if you (in MSProject) say "group by
Field1 then by Field2 then by Field3", that would place each imported task
under three levels of headers (which are similar to summaries). See command
Project/CustomizeGroups.

Does this do what you want?

calculate % complete based on other fields

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:05 PM PDT

Sounds like your structure might be based on time sequencing rather than
process sequencing. By that I wonder if your summary tasks are time units
such as "Work for June" and the subtasks all the tasks taking place during
that month? Or perhaps the summary is "Work for the Engineering Group" with
all the tasks done by resources from those departments listed as subtasks
under it. If either is the case, you might want to reconsider your WBS
because at least in my experience such structures always leads to headaches
in the end. Your issue with progress recording for "odd and even" tasks
will be just the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. I'd strongly suggest you
consider putting the tasks relating to structural work under a summary
"Build Structure" while those related to outfitting be put under an "Outfit
Structure" summary, perhaps even with sub-summaries such as "Install
Piping", "Install HVAC", "Install Wiring", etc and the various activities
required to install those key deliverables listed as subtasks under their
appropriate areas. The sequencing of tasks is most correctly driven be the
predecessor/successor links and is not dependent on their relative positions
in the task listing. There's nothing that says task 100 can't come before
task 50 in time or for that matter produce a deliverable that task 50 needs
in order to start, thus making 100 both a predecessor and an antecendent of
50.

widow/orphan control

Posted: 13 May 2005 12:30 PM PDT

Why would you want to???? If you follow a conventional business or academic
document style and double space between paragraphs, those single words or
phrases you can get appearing to hang in the top or bottom margins when a
page break hits just after the first line of a new paragraph or just before
the last couple of words in the last paragraph at the bottom of a page are
incredibly ugly looking and amateurish. Having widow/orphan control turned
on instructs Word to fix it if they're about to occur. Frankly I can't
imagine any document where you'd actually want to see widows and orphans
forming.

Time Scale: getting Quarters to line up with day of project start

Posted: 13 May 2005 10:58 AM PDT

Rod,
I need Q1 to start on May 18th for example. Can projects do that?
It would be nice to see 3 month increments from the start of the project
since that is how it works in this particular case. (program starts when
contract is signed).
thanks for additional help

Saved MPP project files save smaller than the original file - TIA

Posted: 13 May 2005 09:58 AM PDT

Hi Chris,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

This could be quite normal depending on how and when you save your projects.
If you suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item:
43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

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

WBS sequence not kept on Import

Posted: 12 May 2005 09:51 PM PDT

Gérard Thanks for quick response. However this does not seem to work either.

the structure I am after is like this.

A
B
C
C
C
B
C
C
C

where the B's are subtasks of A and the C's are sub tasks of the B's
to acheive this I have set as suggested the outline levels

1
2
3
3
3
2
3
3
3

The problem is that some tasks at the level 3 get jumbled up into the
different level 2's. I have checked the source table and they are stored in
the correct sequence there and if read sequentually or through the default
index they should be read in correctly.

Do I need to change my Outline level somehow or some how force MS Project to
use the default table index ?

Thanks

Milestones add time to projects?

Posted: 12 May 2005 08:13 PM PDT

The best solution is to completely remove the fixed-date constraint from
your milestone and link it into the chain of subtasks as the last task in
the chain. The duration of a summary is from the start of the earliest task
to the finish of the latest task, If I have a summary containing only two
subtasks, both of them milestones of zero duration, and use a MSO or MFO
contraint to fix the subtasks to dates 2 weeks apart, the summary will show
a duration of 2 weeks. Milestones are NOT dates per se - they are
signifigant EVENTS (such as "Approval Received" or "Design Finished") that
occur during the project. They may, and usually do, have deadlines or dates
where they are supposed to hit but that doesn't mean they are "fixed dates."
A "fixed date " means it WILL happen on that date no matter what else is
going on or whether the events leading up to it happen on time or not. That
approval, for example, will come whenever it comes, be it early, on-time, or
late. What your plan should be showing is where the milestone is likely to
happen as determined by the work leading up to it, with a deadline
indicating where it is supposed to happen if you're meeting your objectives
so you can compare the two and determine if your plan is a good one or if
you have to go back to the drawing board and reschedule to better meet the
required performance.
