how to print on continueous papers?

Posted: 28 Nov 2005 06:26 PM PST

Frank,

I meant, in my previous reply, to say "Print Preview icon, select Page
Setup..., then the Options button" - not typing as fast as I am thinking!

Confused,
You're not the only one. It looks like your keyboard is a little
confused also.

You have posted to a newsgroup that deals with MS Project, a
planning/scheduling application. I think you would have better luck
posting to a more generic newsgroup that might deal with Windows issues.

How to *really* prevent splits after levelling?

Posted: 27 Nov 2005 03:51 PM PST

Ok I'm going to answer myself :)

I've got some resources using 24hrs calendar and some using the
standard calendar. After levelling, some tasks that are assigned to a
mix of 24hrs x standard calendar resources start on a Saturday.

When the problem occurs, that is because the amount of work
for the 24hrs resources is not enough to "cover" the whole weekend,
and the other resources cannot start until Monday, so a split
is added.

To prevent this, I had to set the task to use a specific calendar (standard).

Why it is better to not use Deadline dates

Posted: 27 Nov 2005 08:50 AM PST

Forgive me Rod but I really can’t understand your answer.
My previous answer to you was strictly related to the concept of deadline
because I think that associating a deadline date to a task is meaningless,
for the reasons I explained to you in that answer.
But while the one above is only my personal opinion, the objective proved
fact is that it is not absolutely true that "All the Deadline does is flag
the task as time critical and limits its slack time" because other than that
the Deadline , in some specific cases(that I describe answering to Jan at
this link
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/?dg=microsoft.public.project&mid=42737055-2823-471b-96ba-3474063dd8ee&sloc=it&sloc=it),
generates not correct results.

[HELP]: How to define project tasks for...

Posted: 26 Nov 2005 03:40 PM PST

Task duration is defined as the time period between the moment work is first
done on the task and work is complketed on the task. So how can it have a
known duration but unknown hours? If the task starts Jan 01, that means
someone shows up on Jan 01 and does some physical activity leading towards
the creation of whatever that task creates. If it ends on 31 Dec, that
means someone is in the office or on the job site physically present and
doing something that wraps up the last bit of work necessary to fonish
whatever the task creates. The duration is the time frame over which actual
work extends, NOT the time frame during which work might take place.

Integration with Artemis

We have Artemis views (used by PM's) and Artemis 7 (used for resourcing and
planning) I want to find a successful implementation where Artemis 7 has
been used interfaced with PM's using MS Project for sheduling. (we can get
rid of Artemis Views)

Overall cost for project

Posted: 24 Nov 2005 09:02 AM PST

Project doesn't "assign costs" to anything. It looks at what a resource
costs per hour, mutilplies that by the hours the resource is employed to do
the work that needs to be done, and totes it up. I think you're thinking of
a top-down budget where senior management says "this project will cost XX
dollars- see to it." But that's not the way Project works - in fact it's
completely ignorant of top-down budgeting. Instead it looks at the specific
work to be done and estimates how much it will cost to do it. One can hope
that the figure it computes will be less than the amount senior management
has allocated - if it's not, it's telling you it will be impossible to
finish the project within budget and it might be time to update your resume
<grin>. The baseline is NOT the figure management has handed you. It is
what you have estimated to be the actual cost to do the work. It is a
baseline in that you save it before actually starting work so you have a
reference point to compare actual expenses later on to see if you're
on-track or things are getting out of control.

Sorry, Roy; as you can see I'm not an expert in these registry problems and
I have no idea what you can do to overcome your problem. I think you'll
have to contact Microsoft Support, unless anyone else has some other ideas.

Good luck :)

Reporting from the resource pool

Posted: 23 Nov 2005 02:20 PM PST

Yes it does. It has assignments in Jan and Feb of 2006. Nothing before that
time. I can see the assignments in Usage view, but what I need to do is run
reports showing resource allocation combined from all projects. I haven't
attached all projects yet. I wanted to test this and make sure it works
first. It looks like it will if I can just figure out what I'm doing wrong.
