Notify when predecessor task is complete

One point - if A must be completed before B can start, A is the predecessor
of B or you could equally say that B is the successor of A. Your post
suggests you have linked them the other way around.

Discount

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 06:30 PM PDT

Just a few thoughts for you to ponder - why would you discount the labour
costs? Is this task being done by a subcontractor who is providing you with
labour and is giving you a discount on his fees for prompt payment? If
that's not the situation, be careful. The costs associated with tasks are
the out-of-pocket costs YOU have to pay to get the task done, they are NOT
the fees you bill a client for doing the project for him. Project's costing
does not track revenues, in fact it completely ignores the very existence of
revenues. If you are the contractor doing the project and billing the
client for the work you are doing, you need to take the raw numbers coming
from project, which as I said reflect your internal costs of the labour
that's doing the work, and add such things as overheads, facilities costs,
cost of capital, and profit margins in order get the rate you charge your
clients for the work and that's where you'd track any discounts you offer
off of that billing rate. Always keep in the forefront of your mind the
fact that Project is a work scheduling and cost estimating program and IS
NOT a project accounting program. Your billing of your clients might use
data coming from Project as part of its input but it would only be one
factor among many affecting the bottom line numbers.

Mingo,
No, after the file is saved as an *.mpd, the next step is to open the
*.mpd file from Project. Then immediately save as an *.mpp. Try that.

Freezing progress lines

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 07:47 AM PDT

Thank you for the quick answer!

This is definitely the function that I was looking for.

I noticed that if I enter a % completed and decide that it was wrong,
if I then enter a new % it doesn't change the current progress line
correspondingly. On the other hand, if I enter a progress of 0 or 100%
and then decide it was wrong & enter a new % it may effect the older
lines which were supposed to be frozen.

Hope this makes sense and you can help me on these minor details as
well.

Regards,

Ole

budgeted hours question

Hi,

That is the difference between cum work (from the start till Nov9) and (from
the start till Jan 2006)
You have to make ONE subtraction manually, sorry.

How can I create custom graph reports in Project 2003?

Posted: 12 Jun 2005 01:28 AM PDT

There are a couple ways I have found to do this. One of the best ways is to
use the VBA functionality in MSProject to output your selected data directly
to Excel (or an intermediate text or csv file if there is a lot of data), and
generate your graphics in Excel. You can code all of this right into an
Project macro, add a button to your tool bar, and assign the macro to the
button. That way you can run the report/graph with nothing more than a
mouseclick. I have set up quite a few reports this way, and they act just
like they were part of the Project application. Just be sure that you save
the macros in your global.mpt file for future use.

Another way is to save your project as an Access database, then setup your
reports/graphs in Access. You can setup queries and filters in Access ahead
of time so that it will prompt you for report specific data such as date
range, etc... This way you do not have to recreate the wheel when generating
recurring reports.

Formula Prob

Posted: 10 Jun 2005 06:33 AM PDT

Hmm.... it should recalc if the file is reopened.
There is no specific method to recalculate custom fields, so you might need
to do something that changes the finish date.
At that point you might be better off having a macro run at open which
requests a date (and uses the current date as default) and then stores the
date in a project level field (which you can use in a formula). When the
value of that field changes the formulas should recalc. Are you sure it is
not recalculating when you close and reopen the file?
