Remember in "The Graduate" when Benjamin Braddock's father's friend
pulls him aside at the party and says, "Plastics"? I can't be quite
that brief, but you can definitely start by doing the following:
Tools, Options
Schedule Tab
"Autolink inserted or moved Tasks"
TURN THIS FEATURE OFF and click Set as Default

This will save you time down the road a bit.

Hope this helps in your world.

Professional vs Standard Differences?

Posted: 12 Aug 2005 05:45 AM PDT

Pro can be used standalone, but all the features that kame it different from
Standard are greyed out without a connection to a Server environment so the
result is

Horizontal Scrolling & Decimal numbers for hours

Posted: 12 Aug 2005 02:07 AM PDT


Sorry, forgot about that :(

No, you cannot remove the decimals shown in the Task Usage sheet. I suppose
you could insert a Custom column and round the hours figures, you could then
hide the Work column, but this would not affect the decimal in the cells.

Start & Finish matches other Tasks' Start & Finish?

Thank you so much! That solution worked perfectly except for one problem. I
hope you have a solution.

the problem is that my MPP file is stored on SharePoint. When I try to do a
paste link, I get the message: "You cannot create links from a project file
that exists on a web folder to another file."

I have absolutely no external links to another file, so I'm assuming this
message is a bug since there is no "another file." Furthermore, if I save
the file locally, I can make the "paste links" fine, upload the file back to
SharePoint, and open and make further updates to the file without problems
and the "paste links" are still intact.

Unfortunately, that workaround won't work for me since I'm developing a
procedure to be used by our department and many people won't have a local
place to save the file; they can only make updates on SharePoint.

I'm suspecting that the problem might have something to do with the fact
that Project inserts "%20" in for every space in the filename. I'll try to
verify that, but, regardless, our naming conventions require spaces in the
name.

Thanks

Incorporate inflation adjustments into Project

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 01:55 PM PDT

This of course requires that every task that you want to have an inflation
adjustment on has a resource assigned, and that each resource has the
multiple rates that I mentioned.

Linking Project to Excell

I agree with Jack, copy paste special is fragile (don't even think of taking
either file away on a laptop).

Best solution is a VBA macro to import what you want if opening with a map
is to much work.

% of work load

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 09:32 AM PDT

When you make the first resource assignment to a task, Project assumes you
had the % you assign in mind when you made the original duration estimate.
So I'f I have a task that is 20 hours duration and I assign Joe to it 100%,
it stays at 20 hours. But if I assign Joe at 50% it ALSO stays at 20 hours.
If I assign him at 10% or 72% or anything, the same 20 hour duration will
remain as long as it's the FIRST assignment.

How do you add a resource name to a To Do list report?

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 09:28 AM PDT

Hi Mike,

Thanks for responding. I should have been more specific about what I wanted
to do. I agree that I could "hard code" the name in the report header. Bu
that's going to be a real pain for 100 resources. What I'm trying to do is
add a column/field from a table to the report somehow. The header would be
perfect. However, when I look at the drop down on the header screen,
Resource Name is not there. "Resouce Names" is there, but that's no help.

Thanks again,
Doug

work week not equal to date

Posted: 10 Aug 2005 09:21 PM PDT

There is a workaround. Use a custom formula in an unused text field.
I use the following formula:

"w" & Format(DateAdd("d",7-Weekday([Finish]),[Finish]),"ww" & "'yy")
By editing the formula you can add the .day if you like.

Then format your bars to show the new value. Unfortunately the timescale is
not configurable.

Hi jseiler ,

I can't answer your question because I don't know your circumstances or what
you want to do. I don't think there is such a thing as "simple tracking" -
tracking is tracking and that's how it's done. If you want to use EVA, the
help pages are pretty straightforward. I can't offer any advice withou
knowing what you want to do.

There are others out there who have had a lot of experience in tracking and
EVA who might care to comment.
