Changing Work day from 8h

Posted: 03 Oct 2005 12:16 PM PDT

You're welcome, Bob :-)

But a word of caution. You should seldem, if ever, enter Start and Finish
dates in Project. If you do, Project will create constraints which could
severely limit the flexibility that you could have. Always enter Durations
and use the Precedence links to drive the Start/Finish dates.

Hi David,

You can make Date1 be equal to Now() using a formula and then filter for
tasks whose start is greater than Date1.

Is there a way to insert a marker to represent todays date?

Posted: 03 Oct 2005 09:06 AM PDT

Quidam,

Not sure what type of marker you want, but there is a line showing the
current date in the Project Center (PWA) and the View a Project page for a
selected project.

For a timescale line for today's date, you have more options in Microsoft
Project. Go to Format/Gridlines.

See automated guides if interested:

How to change font color based on a condition

Hi Aman,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

I would have thought that you could do this within Project uasiong a
Customized field. You might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft
Project in the TechTrax ezine, particularly #14 & 15, at this site:

Cost accruel

Project is not a cost accounting product. I advise not doing this in Project
at all, rather output the relevant tasks and dates to Excel then track
partial payments etc there or in your accounting system.

Duration of task calculated wrongly - not round up

Posted: 02 Oct 2005 11:53 PM PDT

Hi Peter,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

If you don't align working hours as directed in the FAQ, then, say, you have
entered a 1 day task, it will start at the 8:00 original time and not the
8.30 that you've now set up. This is because, generally, changing the
default only affects the future and not the past. Thus you will have a half
hour discrepancy which is the likely source of your decimals. You need to
re-enter the Durations to correct this.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

No, Taleq - I don't have a project server - that's why I directed you to ask
the question in the correct newsgroup where the experts in PWA etc hang out.

That was the first thing that I tried but no go. It seems to have a very old
list of web pages.

Setting variable allocations for resources

Posted: 30 Sep 2005 01:59 PM PDT

Hi Larry,

I'm sorry. I guess I misunderstood your initial question. The resource
calendars will "shuffle the assignments to the day shift or the night shift"
for you. The project calendar can still be the 24 Hours calendar but using
different base calendars for the 7 resources on days and the 3 resources on
night will schedule the tasks correctly.

Hope the clarification helps.

baz,
Sorry, to actually see the non-working days on the Gantt a minor
timescale showing "days" must be displayed.

Your question is interesting because most people want to eliminate the
non-working days so they can see more of the Gantt's full span.

Best way to handle multiple projects

Posted: 30 Sep 2005 11:22 AM PDT

One option is to use the Text fields and give a unique identifier/part no.
to the set of 50. However, a project with 5000 activities become hard to
use.
I find it is easier to use the summary project, and insert (and remove) one
or more of the 50 when they are completed.

Hi Jan,

Are you using Project 2000? I am getting this problem in 2000 version.
Can you please try doing this from Gantt view in Project 2000?

Thanks,
