Graphical indicator field to reflect constraint type Microsoft Project

Graphical indicator field to reflect constraint type

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 06:48 PM PDT

Hello, Wendy.

The Constraint Type is a numeric field.
0 = As soon as possible
1 = As late as possible
2 = Must start on
3 = Must finish on
4 = Start no earlier than
5 = Start no later than
6 = Finish no earlier than
7 = Finish no later than

Use one of the custom number fields (Number1, Number2, ...), setting
it to be equal to the field Constraint Type (the formula is just that:
[Constraint Type]) and to use the graphical indicators.

Using the examples in your post,
0 = indicator green
7 = indicator blue
...

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joaquim Amado Lopes

Problems With Microsoft Project 2003 Trial Version

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 05:51 PM PDT

I went to Number 6 Trial Booting. It suggested that I:

try modifying registry key:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1661544484-239356022-623648099-500\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\MSProject\Option s\General.
Change value of FirstBoot from "No" to "Yes".

I went to regedit. I do not have the folder cited above. The closest I have
are 2 folders that start with HKEY_USERS\S-1-15-21-3935143360.

Thanks in advance for all of your assistance!

I also am getting the gbui trusted site issues since I have deleted that
from Internet Explorer trusted sites. I now have to go Task Manager in order
to exit the Project application.

I guess you didn't like the answer that Mike and I gave you the first

Also. When I sort by date and time in sequence order the start times do not
appear to be in sequence.. The later start times appear before the earlier
start times in a particular date.

e.g. 1:00 PM appear before 9:00 AM. Can you please explain what I am
doingwrong. Thanks.

Missing BCWS values

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 12:16 PM PDT

Yes it will. But your only other choice is to find a copy of the schedule
before you made any updates, baseline it correctly and then update it to
match your current schedule. Sometimes the best you can do is just start now
and ignore any water that has already passed under the bridge.

Yes, if you want a baseline with the correct cost information you must set
it now.

That was a great help. Things are much faster and I can limit the tasks to

Hi Daniela,

If you only want clarity by coloring some tasks differently, that's no
problem.

I posted on the server newsgroup, maybe 2 weeks ago, no replies. Does this

server book when it becomes avaliable.

Thanks though,

Printing Gantt timescale in MSP 2000

Posted: 06 Jun 2005 06:15 AM PDT

John: Thanks for the reply. On a technical note, I had a typo in my post and
am running MSP2002. To get to your point, I have a fluid range in both the
middle and lower tier- years then quarters- no skipping. It appears to be
scaled adequately, but basically just shows blank cells when I print. I can
see the spaces that would hold text, but they are not populated. I have since
tested the file on other PC's at my office and it works fine- I can see the
dates in the timescale, so it is a setting on my PC, I just cannot for the
life of me figure out which one it is.

Hi,

The VBA macro youneed is quite simpel:

Sub SummName
dim job as task
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
if not job.outlinelevel=1 then
job.text7=job.outlineparent.name
end if
end if
next jopb
end sub

I hope the person who first asked this question is following this
thread. If not, maybe someone can find a way to get this information to
them.
As a student, they can get the standalone version of Project for $70 at
www.journeyed.com. They have to provide proof of the fact that they are
a student (or teacher). They can also get almost any other major
software package at a large discount at this site.

Order of details under Resource in Who does What Report

Posted: 04 Jun 2005 03:34 AM PDT

Hi Margaret als,

Glad to know the tip I gave worked well for you and thanks so much for the
feedback.

As far as protocol for newsgroups posting, I think this newsgroup is pretty
flexible. (Not all newsgroups are.)
I usually post my replies at the top (sometimes called "top posting") just
because I think it is easier to follow the "conversation" in the post that
way. Others post at the bottom. As far as deleting earlier threads in the
conversation, I usually delete earlier portions if they are not "important"
(in my opinion) to the current posting. I usually delete it just to make
download a bit quicker - particularly for folks on a dial-up connection.

Again, thanks for the feedback and let us know if you have any further
questions.

Julie

Work schedule progress question

Posted: 03 Jun 2005 12:44 PM PDT

Why would they object to your posting accurate information into the file?
If Joe Resource was scheduled to wax the widgets on July 1st but actually
got some of it done last week, shouldn't your file reflect that? Save a
baseline before posting the progress and it will show what you'd planned so
you can monitor actual versus planned if anybody asks. But progress by
definition is what actually takes place and after it's done what you
originally thought would take place is irrelevant. Seems like if you base
your progress inputs on what actually happens, the calculations in the
summary bars will be exactly what your bosses are asking you for.

Just to be clear, Project Server does not require you to post anything

internal network for sure but it will be secured so that only the right

where can I find a manual for Project 2003

Posted: 03 Jun 2005 10:28 AM PDT

There are, of course, 3rd party manuals if you're willing to pay. I
think Tim Pyron's Que manual "Using Project 200x" are the most complete
and written by someone who knows Project Management. Unlike some of the
other manuals, particularly the MS ones. For a simpler, less detailed
one, I reccommend "MS Project for Dummies".
Best of luck!

I'm certain Jenna's question was no joke. This question is asked more
frequently than you would probably believe and is generally a "newbie"
question from someone who doesn't use Excel. Her question was more than
appropriate for this group. Your response, however, was totally
inappropriate.
