duration confusion

Posted: 08 Nov 2005 07:29 PM PST

Hi Allison,

No but you can create one.
Customize a duration field using the ProjDateDiff formula.

Can the deadline be set to match the date of another task?

Posted: 08 Nov 2005 02:46 PM PST

There is only one deadline field. How you access it is irrelevant.
Insert the column "Deadline" to see deadline cells you can paste in.

Hi,

What exactly do you mean?
Microsoft Project does not open "with a calendar"
Each Project has several calendars one of them being the project calendar
I told you how to make a calendar you make the project calendar for each new
project.
What else do you want?

Andy,
Dave is correct, Project doesn't have an "auto-assign" feature but that
functionality could be developed as a VBA macro. As long as you can
develop the assignment algorithm, the VBA code can do the rest. Granted,
this approach isn't of much use to someone new to Project, particularly
if you have no VBA experience, but it nonetheless is an option.

Jmaestan,
During the Project 2003 install process, the installer will give some
options to preserve or overwrite previous installations. Pick the option
that allows Project 2000 to remain.

Total Cost

Deb,
I'm not sure what you mean by, "...cost resulting from the work and
duration...". Cost is not related to duration in any way. In Project
costs are either, Work x resource rate, Material units x material rate,
or Fixed Costs.

Again, without knowing the exact fields you reference (e.g. are you
looking at Baseline Cost?), it is hard to tell what is going on although
Jan's suggestion that there are separate costs on the Summary Lines is a
very real possibility.

Sylva,
You didn't specify if you are using the Deadline field for your deadline
data but try this formula:
IIf(isdate([Deadline]-10),"yes","no")

Hope this helps.

Ian,
Think about that "great minds and great ideas" axiom.

I suggested Excel because almost everybody either has it or a compatible
alternative. Not everybody has Project. By all means, if all
stakeholders in your organization have Project, then updating their
separate plans would allow more flexibility.

Great ideas aren't worth a damn unless there are people to implement
them.

Work vs Actual Work

Posted: 07 Nov 2005 10:59 PM PST

Gérard,

Thanks for the speedy response. However you seem to have overlooked the
first question:

Where can I find a detailed description of, and the logic relating to, how
the Work field is affected when I enter values into the Actual Work field?

Regards
Peter
