Can 'DateAdd' function be set to return only working days?

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 09:02 AM PDT

Hmm, never tried this.
Why not use adjust dates?

Changing a date without changing % complete in MProject 2000?

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 06:38 AM PDT

Instead of % in the Update Tasks dialog, use the Actual duration and
Remaning duration : it's a lot easier, and Project will recalculate the %

Gantt Chart by Task then by Resource Assignments?

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 12:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm a bit surprised you don't mention the task usage view which gives you
exactly the information you look for, especially if you insert the Actual
Work rows.

Also, I often advice to never put more than one resource on a task but to
show each assignment as a task (which IMHO gives much better flexibility in
splitting the work among the resources)

Levelling - Resources on multiple tasks at the same time

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 08:11 PM PDT

Hi,

Your assumption on week by week is exact.
Minute by minute is minute-te by minute - you are aware aren't you that
Project stores every date, every duration, every amount of work in tenths of
minutes?
To complete the thought - after leveling minute by minute no resource should
be "Red" any more.

Laurie,
No bells ring but it does help to know that the problem only occurs on
your PC. Does this only occur with the one file or does it also occur
with a new file that you create? If it only occurs with the one file, it
could be file corruption although it is strange that you are the only
one with the problem. If it also occurs with a new file you create I
suspect there may be a problem with your installation of Project.

If it seems to be file related, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

If the problem appears isolated to your PC first, make sure you have the
latest updates for whatever version of Project you are using. You can
find those at the Microsoft website at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010857951033.aspx
If you have the latest update, from Project try Help/Detect and Repair
and see if that helps. If not, you may need to consider re-installing
Project.

Hope this helps.

Standard Project Template

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 05:18 PM PDT

You are facing a classic PM prooblem. As a new PM on an old project, your
responsibility should be forward looking. The only value of looking back is
punitive, and your job is to move the project forward according to plan. You
should consider setting each project up as if it were new and was composed
only of the remaining tasks. These can be estimated for duration, and cost
if you wish, to set up new baselines against which the project will be
evaluated hence.

If you do this, the dates of earlier completions is unecessary and projects
and PMs will be evaluated on their current merits.

If mgt asks about money spent "so far", they must be made to understand that
"sunk costs" are gone, and the proper questions are about future use of
resources.

I know that I have not given you the "technical" answer you asked for, but I
think that I have given you a better route to success. Good luck.

Copy/Paste to Outlook

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 05:39 AM PDT

Hi Siobhan,

It could be more of an issue about Outlook than Project. If I set up
Outlook to use Word as my email editor, and paste special as a picture, I
get what looks like a table with gridlines. If I do just a straight paste,
it drops the text in without the gridlines.

If you want just straight text, just paste the data in without the paste
special as picture.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How do I move the start date for all tasks when none are linked?

Posted: 05 Sep 2005 07:57 PM PDT

Hi,

Yes.
Depending on your version:
P98 or P2000: Tools, Macro, Macros, Adjust Dates, Run
Later versions Tools, Customize, Toolbars, Toolbars pad, check Analysis,
click Adjust Dates icon.

I'm pretty sure you cannot make the English MSProject use a Dutch interface.
You must buy the Dutch version of MSProject.

(Babelfish: Ik ben vrij zeker u Engelse MSProject niet kunt maken een
Nederlandse interface gebruiken. U moet de Nederlandse versie van MSProject
kopen)

Entering hours for a resource

Posted: 02 Sep 2005 09:25 PM PDT

Hi,
I beg to disagree
When he's 50% on the task you can use the other 50% on another task, so it
DOES mean he only works half the time on teh task.
In fact, for Project, he is planned on that task for 30 secs every minute.
Personally I think this is so weird that I always recommend to use 100%
allocation and if necessary make a specific calendar.

Schedule from End Date

Posted: 02 Sep 2005 04:18 PM PDT

Steve,

with the help of Jan, I was able to move my end date and see the late start
and late finish dates move with it so I got what I need for that part. The
other question I have now is would I be able to have my resources follow the
late dates not the start and finish dates. Basically, I want to see if I
shift my end dates, how would that affect my resources??

Thanks

Actual work from unopened projects not reflected in resource usage

Posted: 02 Sep 2005 12:04 PM PDT

Hi Sarah,

Again, in the ideal world, you're right.
But in a resource pool-type environment, where some of the projects are kept
up to date by the hour, but others are updated only once a month f.i., you
cannot "forget" the actual work if you want a realistic estimate on the
projects that have not yet been actualized.
