This is normal behavior if Enterprise Global has been configured to require
data in some fields.

To see which fields are required, click Project > Project Information. The
table in the dialog box will display all custom project fields. Any that are
required will be marked with an astereisk and will appear at the top of the
list. Similar approach for tasks, but look in the Task Information Dialog
Box (Shift - F2).

Default task dependancies (and lag days) for pairs of tasks

Posted: 25 May 2005 04:02 AM PDT

You could possibly create a VB macro to do something like that but IMHO it
would be far more trouble than it would be worth to do it. A project plan
should not be such an automated rote exercise anyway. You, the manager,
still should be in charge of all the decisions as your plan goes from rough
draft to final work schedule. MSP is just there as a glorified calculator
to help you see the consequences of the choices you make but they always
need to remain YOUR choices as only you know what meets the required
objectives in the end. In the case of lag time, even if a certain pair of
tasks occurs repeatedly in your plan, for each iteration of A->B you should
be looking at it and asking yourself "Based on the conditions at the time we
doing them, what should the lag time between A and B be *this* time around?"
In most projects I would think it would rarely be the same for all
iterations of the tasks.

Convert PowerPoint Slide Show to DVD movie?

Posted: 24 May 2005 08:03 AM PDT

As Jan said, this group is devoted to MS Project project management
software. But that being said, you can do a very simple movie made up of
still jpg and gif images (and live motion DV clips for that matter if you
have a camera) along with music and narration using Windows Moviemaker, a
freebie bundled with Windows XP, and there is a Moviemaker newsgroup where
you could get some good advice on how to proceed. For Powerpoint slides
you'd need to export them as individual image files so in the interests of
quality unless you have images combined with charts and text etc on the PP
slides I'd use the original images instead of exporting the powerpoint
slides themselves but you could go either way. For more flexibility and
sophisticated effects like "Ken Burns" pans and zooms, multitrack sound, etc
on a budget take a look at Adobe Premiere Elements. Sony Media also has
similar entry level video editing software as do Pinnacle, Avid, Canopus and
a bunch of others. Of course you also need DVD burning software such as
Sonic MyDVD or the Roxio suite as well as the editing program you use for
putting together the video file. DVD's that can be played on a standard DVD
player hooked to a regular TV are a little more complicated to burn than
just copying the files over - there is a very specific structure that must
be followed - but it's not overly difficult and there are plenty of software
packages out there that can do it. Another option you might consider is to
use Video CD or VCD - most DVD players can play them as well and they can be
simpler to create.

Compare to baseline

Posted: 24 May 2005 04:22 AM PDT

In the View menu choose Tables. Among the tables listed in the menu you'll
find baseline information in the Cost, Tracking, Variance, and Work tables.
If you select More Tables at the bottom of the list you'll find a library of
additional tables and many of them include baseline data as well. Finally
you can customize any table or completely roll your own and you'll find many
baseline fields in the list of available columns you can use.

BCWS Calculation

Posted: 23 May 2005 04:50 PM PDT

AFAIK, % Physical Complete doesn't automatically roll up into the summary
task. I tried a simple example and even with all subtasks set to 100%
complete in all three metrics - duration, work, and physical - the %
Physical Complete of the summary task remains at zero even the other two
fields in the summary are 100%.

Project and leveling

Posted: 23 May 2005 12:31 PM PDT

Bonnie,

The solution to your problem is by changing the option "Look for
overallocations on a "Day by Day" basis to . ."Hour by Hour" basis.
According to your how you explained the problem; MS Project (MSP) is a pure
logic based program. As you discussed, MS Project is trying to resolve the
problem by 'looking at Days,' there are 8 working hours in a day MSP
evaluated if it could resolve the problem of work, comparing 4 hours on one
task and 8 hourcs on another. Since there were no solution (according to
MSP, MSP looked at each tasks in days) thus the solution of dropping the
remaining 'day' on the next task. (that would depend on the selection of
options that were loaded during the leveling.
