Fixed duration given, but changes

Hi Steve,
May be I misunderstood your statement:
<<With effort driven task, adding or removing bodies causes the duration to
change and the work to pro-rated. >>
I don't think so : With effort driven [Fixed Duration] task, adding or
removing bodies causes the Units to change.

wjBigSax,
Well there's nothing like the complete story. A master with subprojects
makes all the difference. Understand that the subprojects in a master
are not physically part of the master. Rather, the master only contains
a pointer to the subproject file (that's why the task IDs in a master
start at "1" for each inserted subproject). The only subproject "task"
that actually belongs to the master is the insertion point summary line.

Given that information, copying and pasting a task from the master to a
subproject or vice versa will in fact result in a totally new task in
the destination file. The original links are lost and depending on where
the task is inserted into the other file, it may take on new links (i.e.
if the task is pasted into a chain of linked tasks even though the
Tools/Options/Schedule tab option to autolink inserted tasks is not
checked).

I hope this clarifies what you are seeing.

Meaning of total slack in a project scheduled from end date

Posted: 13 Nov 2005 01:17 PM PST

Really thank you Steve for reading me.
I totally agree with your general arguments.
Anyway the point of my initial question was related to a more specific
aspect, if you want, a marginal aspect, but, as i told before, an aspect
that Microsoft should consider to improve so that Project would be a better
product(even if little better).
Thanks a lot anyway for your answer
Best regards
Michele

Total slack not correct

Your habit is surely the best way to approach and to manage a project even
because, like u say, no software can't aviod us to use our minds.
I totally agree with you.
Best regards
Michele

how can I set up an ongoing alphabetical film library list

Adding to John's reply ...

What you describe is a classic application for a database management system
and Access is tailor-made for that sort of thing.

Network diagram and the Web

Posted: 11 Nov 2005 04:44 PM PST

Why doesn't the "copy to GIF" work? Graphics on a webpage - drawings,
pictures, diagrams, whatever - need to be in a gif, jpg, or png file format
to be processed by the web browser that is visiting your site. Remember
that the actual page the viewer sees is constructed by his web browser in
his own machine, constructed locally according to the instructions in the
html file downloaded to him from the web site he's viewing. Something like
the Network Diagram must be in picture form for his browser to know what to
do with it. If you're saying the "copy to gif" isn't working because the
resulting file is too big for practical downloading (a common occurance) the
solution is to load it into an image editing program such as Photoshop or
similar and resize it to more workable dimensions for posting.

Error importing excell worksheet as a new project

Posted: 10 Nov 2005 05:32 PM PST

Hi Ice,

In the Save As... dialog, select from the Type pick list: "Microsoft Excel
Workbook *.xls" (You'll have to scroll down to find it.) Click Save, and
Next in the Wizard, and then select "Project Excel Template"... etc.
