Project Experts: Need Your Help

I second Brian's comment - there is a massive amount of user knowledge behind
this newsgroup and it is, I would suggest, the most efficient way of dealing
with queries.
It also means that other users will benefit from the posts.

Cannot open project files - Doesn't anyone have a solution?

It won't help you today but in future, you can set MS Project to
automatically create a backup for you. That way, you never need to worry if
you have a backup or not or how long it will take tech support to restore it
for you.

Using custom field in calculations requires VBA programming.

File Format for importing multiple resources per task

J,
Why did you try to concatenate all that stuff (i.e. resource name, ID
and Work)? Data from other apps needs to be mapped into fields in
Project. If you concatenate the resource names as the assignments for
each task then you will be ting the text string of the Resource
Names field in a task view. You could add the allocation values also.
For example:
Joe[50%],Fred[30%]

It does work - I tried it before I suggested it.

Resources as a percentage

Posted: 01 Nov 2005 11:30 AM PST

Hello,

View / Resource Usage
Right click on a yellow cell
Select Detail Styles...
In the "Available fields" list (lefthand) select Percent Allocation. OK
May be, hide the Work field.
Double click the time scale ans set the Bottom Tier units to Months (before
that you enlarged the Middle tier too)

Hope this helps,

MPP shouldn't allow 0d milestones on resource calendar holidays.

Give it a 1 min duration and mark the (to be inserted) milestone column as
"Yes"

Budget, Actual Time, Percentage Completion

Posted: 01 Nov 2005 08:01 AM PST

Hi Lillian,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

When you enter the Actual Work, enter the Remaining work as zero and Project
will set it at 100% for you - that should do what you want.

How to create a link between a task and a recurring meeting?

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 12:04 PM PST

Tiras,

Generally, the dates get pushed because a task cannot be completed (fully)
within the given time frame of the calendar you set the task to. If you drill
down in the Task Usage view the the "hour" level, you can see whether this is
the case.

You might also want to check your calendars for each meeting type to be sure
the meeting times were set up correctly for the time period in question (you
only mentioned that you verified that the correct calendar was assigned to
the task :)).

Hope this helps! :)

Find overallocated tasks when resource availability > 100%

Chris,

Thanks for your help. I tried it again on a fresh project and it works fine
now. It still doesn't work on the "old" project, so something bizarre must
have happened there.
