WBS Code set to unordered Character

Posted: 12 Jul 2005 12:16 PM PDT

Reid,

I didn't enter the S in the prefix box. I did figure out what went wrong,
however. I followed the instructions for displaying WBS in the help file,
and it tells you to use the "outline number" field in field name. When I
changed it to "WBS", it worked fine.

Put this one down to operator error, thanks for the help.

Resource usage - how to seperate duration and hours?

Posted: 12 Jul 2005 10:03 AM PDT

Hi,

There are several ways to achieve this.

1. When assigning the resource, indicate the %
2. Insert a column "Work" and enter work before assigning the resource
3. When teh resource is aleady assigned, put the task type to fixed duration
and change the work value.

Not sure how to schedule certain tasks when they are broken up

Gabrielle,
Maybe I shouldn't have been so negative. Normally I'm the kind of guy
that likes to think outside the box for unique ways to get things done.
My company used the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) software to
control production although I must admit, I never did like that system -
too large, complex and not very flexible in my opinion. And one of my
co-workers who was more intimately involved with production planning
once said that he felt he could do a better job (than MRP) on a desktop
PC running Excel.

I don't have any specific recommendations for production planning
application software but questions similar to yours have been posted
previously on this newsgroup. Why not try a search using the keyword
"production". I found 20 posts since Jan of 2004. I didn't read them but
there seems to be some good discussions that may prove helpful to you.

Hope this helps.

George,
I agree with Jan's suggestion. The best way to "capture" the current
displayed tasks is to use the ActiveSelection approach. I'll add just
one thing to Jan's reply. I would clear the flag field before using it
to identify the active tasks just in case that flag is set for some
other reason.

Thanks, John.

I think I may have to write a VBA macro with a drop down menu for different
files/macro.

sample custom field formula

Posted: 11 Jul 2005 12:01 PM PDT

I still do not know what that means. Do you want to validate the input? That
is do you want to make sure that the user enters a value between 0 and 255?
If so you need to do some more complicated programming.

Missing row indicators

Posted: 10 Jul 2005 07:50 PM PDT

..Gérard,
Thank you for replying. Certainly what you say is accurate. I am aware that
the successor shows in the sub-project ghosted, but in the master project it
still amazes me that Project changes the row numbering like that. It only
happens when the tasks (Milestone) in the master is a successor vs a
predecessor. When this is published, it will totally confuse the viewer who
is not that familiar with MS Project. I will hear the samae question over and
over again...Why are you hiding rows? Unchecking both external predecessors
and successors, still does not stop the row numbers from changing. But, at
least I can say with confidence that it is the application and not a
corruption. Thanks a million!
