Summary task linked to its own subtask

And one reason why experienced users are hesitant to link to summary tasks.

How to schedule backward AND forward from one date

Posted: 17 May 2005 11:20 AM PDT

Hi,

Agree.
That's why I never recommend to use the option "from finish date" but to
satisfy curiosity (yes, it may be important to know) by showing the late
start/late finish fields that Project calculates anyhow.

Reporting resources unavailability

Posted: 17 May 2005 10:27 AM PDT

Salilu,

I created a VBA macro that extracts out-of-office time to Excel and
formats it like a calendar. Every month, I emailed the next month's
report to all of my resources for them to validate their out-of-office
time as entered in MS Project. If this sounds like something you could
use, please email me separately at kikos AT nationwide DOT com. You
will have to do some modification of the code, as it was specific to my
system at the time.

Securing Salary Information

Posted: 17 May 2005 10:15 AM PDT

JackD,

Thanks for your response. I am fairly new with MS Project so pardon me if my
questions seem naive. My issue is many of the folks with access to this plan
are peers and they can quickly determine how their salary stacks up against
others. This is a concern for my management which is why I am on this
crusade. If I cannot protect portions of the resource sheet as I asked in my
prior memo, then can I restrict access to the resource pool entirely except
when assigning a resource to a task in their own project schedule?

I am attempting to capture actual costs for individual work requests (of
which there are many) in a software development effort following the
completion of the project.
If it is not possible to restrict access to the resource pool while allowing
resources from that pool to be assigned to individual projects, then is it
possible to make personal copies of the project schedule and the resource
pool so I can add the salary information and calculate my "post project"
costs.

What extra features do you get in project 2003 from 2002?

Posted: 17 May 2005 03:52 AM PDT

As you can see, very little. I'm still using Project 2002. And will likely
do so until the next version.

Saviing picture as a gif file that is too big

Tomcat,
Although Rod's suggestion may get you there, I think you will find that
the size of the resulting file will be horrendous (several Megs). An
adverse side effect of a very large file is slow performance at best and
possible corruption at worst.

Is there a compelling reason you want to show a graphic view of a 10K
line file? That much information is just to overwhelming to be usable
for presentations in my opinion. Rather, I would either filter or
condense the most relevant information into a view that covers no more
than a few 8 1/2 x 11 pages or an "E" size plot if desired.

On the other hand if you are trying to share all the gory details of a
large plan with others who work on the plan, share it in normal Project
form (i.e. .mpp file) or, if you are using Project Server, use Project
Web Access (PWA). If the people you need to share the file with do not
have Project, you might want to take a look at the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
Take a look at FAQ 16 - Project Viewer

Hope this helps.

MS Project Text/Graphics Screen Resolution

Don't forget to ask why in project, you can't fit a large network diagram to
the size of the window below 25% of original size. Working with medium to
large network diagrams in project blows. :(

dependencies in a macro

Posted: 16 May 2005 09:40 AM PDT

Jan,
I will read up on the Insert Project Link. My described method has worked
in the past due to having a small subset of tasks in the PMO version of the
Program - under 1000 tasks and a PCO manually linked the dependencies of
which there were only about 100.
