Tasks end-start relation

If you typed a date for this task (not recommended, you should always use
links where at all possible) then the default start time will be 8:15 which
is 15 minutes after the calendar start time. Therefore Project has to
schedule an extra 15 minutes on the next working day to fit 8 hours in.

Set the default start time to 8:00 or better yet use links!

Actual Work vs. Target/Baseline

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 10:37 AM PDT

Hi,

It MUST change because you want the rest of the plan to be based on reality
don't you?
I do.
IMHO Project primarily has to show me a correct future plan, what has
happened before is interesting but not critical.
For my own plans, I often simply delete complete tasks.

Original plan is saved as beseline, so no need to keep it alive as a base
for a (wrong) plan.
Do you have a finish variance? You should.
Can't judge about work because for that I need more data like task type.
There is a resoruce attached to teh task isn'there?

URGENT!! Using Lotus Notes email with Project 2003

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 08:31 AM PDT

Hi Vsinc,

Project 2003 no longer offers support for workgroup messaging using email.
(Previous releases did.) Please see:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;818337

I have not tried using the workgroup messaging feature with Notes.

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

Steve,
First, resources should be managed on the Resource Sheet - that's what
it is for. My guess is that there is some subtle difference between the
two resources, meaning that they are not duplicate in Project's "eye".

Another possibility. You didn't mention whether the file is linked to a
resource pool. If both the pool and the file have a resource named "joe"
then these resources are indeed separate and can, under some
circumstances, both be assigned to a task.

Second, given the above is not the case and you suspect corruption, go
to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption.

Hope this helps.

can i add a graphic for a custom date to gantt chart

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 03:37 AM PDT

Hi glen,

Good idea, but I'm already using a deadline for a date further down the
project and thus this is not possible.

Lock-down at the subtask level

Yeah, using PDF is always an option with any program. As long as you
have Acrobat installed (not just the reader).

Task duration not netting when resources added.

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 01:05 PM PDT

Hi,

When you add resources to a task that has none attached, the task will react
as fixed duration. So even when you add both resources at once the duration
will not change.
To the contrary, when you allocate one resource, enter, then allocate a
second one and when the effort driven option is on (task information,
advanced) duration will adapt.

OR, when you insert the Work column into your task view, and enter the 16
hrs of work BEFORE allocating resoruces, then even if you allocate both at
once duration adapts.

Can Project have multiple users on multi comps?

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 12:17 PM PDT

Hi Sarabare,

Project users can share files with other project users -- doesn't matter if
it is Project Professional or Standard. The only reason to use Project
2003 Professional is if you intend to connect to a Project Server.

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

leveling ignores priority & when to manually level

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 11:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I think we agree on 99% of the issue.
I think however that having the simulation done by the software (especially
on multi-project) gives me time for other things: Project levels 100 times
faster than me by hand.
Greetings,

Chris,
Well, everything sounds pretty generic (i.e. default). My last question
about leveling applies to a feature of Project found under
Tools/Resource Leveling. When leveling is activated, it initiates an
algorithm that allows Project to automatically move tasks around (i.e.
shift, delay, split, etc.) to relieve resource conflicts
(overallocation). The default setting is "manual" (i.e. no leveling) but
you might want to check to see if the setting was changed to
"automatic". In the absence of a pure poltergeist (e.g. corruption),
leveling might be germane to the problem you are seeing.

The fact that the problem seemed to "fix itself" while you were out to
lunch (no pun intended), suggests that file corruption may be present.
In that case, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

Hope this helps.

Project to Access Dynamic Link

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 05:17 PM PDT

Rod â€" Thanks for the quick reply; appreciated it. Can I ask for more
information? In a test .mpp file, I Saved As ODBC to MS Access, closed
Project, opened the Access file and changed some information (i.e. file
properties in msp_project table, task names in msp_tasks file, etc.). Then I
closed Access and went back to the Project file and there are no changes
there. I also tried (within the Project file) to Open via ODBC, and was
expecting to get the dialogue box I got when opening exel files asking me if
I want to Open as new file, Append or Merge. It simply opens the Access file
as a new Project.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
