MS Project recurring tasks

Posted: 07 Nov 2005 05:56 AM PST

Hi Peggy

I am trying to recreate the scenario you have described but I do not get the
same results

I have created a recurring task - every monday for the next 5 weeks

I have expanded the recurring tasks by clicking the + symbol

I have created a task that has a dependency on the first instance of the
recurring tasks (in the predecssors column I can see the specific reference
to the individual instance)

The task that is dependent on the individual instance starts as soon as that
instance is scheduled to finish

Have you done anything different to this for your project?

Hope this helps ...

Hiding group totals in Project 2003

Chris

Thanks for your reply. Someone I know with Project 2000 is able to do this
by formatting the summary start/finish/days to the same colour as the
background, but in Project 2003 when I try to do this it won't let me format
individual cells in the group summary.

Cheers

Hi toofan,

You can't change the information *directly* in the Relationship Diagram view
in the bottom pane, but you can modify task link types (FS, SS etc.) in the
Task Form View. When you initially split from the Gantt Chart view, the
Task Form is the view in the bottom pane. Click in the bottom pane and
choose Format > Details, and you can display Predecessors and Successors in
the task form.

As far as changing the color of task cells, I'm afraid that is impossible.
Unlike Excel, there is no "fill" color to change the background of a task
cell. You can change text color, size, etc through Format > Font.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

stop task durations from changing!

Posted: 04 Nov 2005 06:23 PM PST

Hi, John

Thanks. Yes, I periodically highlight the whole column of tasks, go to the
task dialog/advanced, and set the task type to fixed duration. It seems to
work to change it for all the tasks. Nonetheless, MS project changes
durations and splits tasks.

The doentation says it will change duration if you have resource
calendars, etc., so I also tried to put all that on the same calendar. No joy.

Anyhow, I soled the problem by brute force: created a new file, adjusted the
standard calendar, and copied over one column at a time as text. It solved
all three problems. It now resource levels, does not split the tasks, and
does not change the task duration. So, something must have gotten corrupted
in the original file that I could not change.

Regards,
Larry

stop task splitting

Hi, Jan

I don't think holidays were the problem, but the overall calendar use
appeared to be causing the trouble.

I started a new file with first resetting the standard calandar, and then
pasted all the stuff from the broken file. It works fine now, without
splitting or changing the durations.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Task Scheduling and leading zeros

Justin,
The only way I can te your scenario is if the 9/10/05 task has an
Actual Start date of 9/10/05. That effectively says the task has
"started" even though there are no resource hours. I suspect the task
has NOT started and the entry in the Actual Start field was either
inadvertent or manually inserted without really understanding what
Actual Start means.

Normally, leveling is applied prior to the project start (i.e. the user
is trying to adjust the schedule so no resource overallocations exist),
or it is applied to resolve overallocations that have crept in over a
period of time. In the latter case, task splits are to be expected (if
the option to split is selected under Tools/Options/Schedule tab).

In the absence of an entry in the Actual Start field, leveling WILL
adjust task start dates. In your case, the 9/10/05 task will indeed be
slipped out to 9/13/05 when the resources are available.

Hope this helps.
