Embedding files in the notes field

Microsoft don't always describe every problem fixed in an SP, so I would try
it. In the mean time, try using Hyperlinks to your files. This will provide
much smaller .mpp files and better performance.

To add a Hyperlink: Select the task then select Insert Hyperlink or press
Ctrl+K.

Change Milestone task color and Summary Task Gantt Bar

Posted: 05 Dec 2005 06:31 AM PST

Hi Dave (and Amin)

I as well thought this was impossible, but it isn't.
The graphical representation is both the summary bar and the milestone sign
superimposed.
Amin, I have a problem with your code which will run on all tasks
irrespective of whether they are milestones, summary or not.
If you want to change the styles of all milestone bars, you should not loop
through the taks using GanttBarformat but use GantBarStyleEdit instead.
Hope this helps,

how to calculate in project, work done between defined dates

Posted: 05 Dec 2005 03:22 AM PST

Hi,

It is especially useful to show ulative work, then you find the work
between 2 dates as the difference between the 2 values of work

Can overtime hours be entered for specific days?

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 10:09 PM PST

In terms of the project schedule it really doesn't matter when during the
course of the task the resources are doing the OT they've volunteered. The
effect on the task duration and thus the project duration is the same
regardless of whether the OT is worked at the begining of the task, the end
of the task, or distributed in the middle. The only thing that really
counts on your 40 man-hour task is that the resources will be doing a total
of 8 hours of OT sometime between when it starts and when it ends so the
duration will be 4 days instead of 5. I'd suggest just entering the total
OT hours that will be applied to the task and not worry about whether
Project shows it on the exact day your resource's will be doing it, at least
not until you post actuals in after the work is done. Focus on the big
picture and let the resources themselves take care of the details of how
they arrange their work on the task on their own.

Hi,

I need to assign overtime to specific tasks for specific resources and
specific dates/times. I know how to enter overtime for a tasks, but is there
a way to enter it on say December 16th for 2 hours starting at 5pm and
ending at 7pm on the same day. Let's also say this task spans the full week
(12/12 - 12/17) and requires one resource for 8 hours per day or 40 hours
for the week.

My resources have volunteered overtime on specific days and I want to assign
them to specific tasks to assist the completion of the larger time span
needed.

I hope I explained that well enough...

Glenn

Default Calendar for New Tasks

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 02:27 PM PST

Jan,
According to the help file (which I checked before I responded), new
tasks DO have a default calendar. The help file says, in part, "By
default, tasks are scheduled based on the working time of the project
calendar, as set in the Project Information dialog box".

However, I do agree that the presence of "none" in the calendar
selection box of the Task Information window is misleading. I believe it
should by default show the same calendar as is shown in the Project
Information window.

copy tasks (material resources dont copy)

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 09:41 AM PST

In article <com>,
"Hadi" <microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Hadi,
I realize the FAQ didn't answer your question. But since you mentioned
that you were assigning resources to a summary line, I thought you might
want some insight.

With regard to your copying issue, this is what is happening. The
default resource type for a new project file is Work (i.e. labor). When
you copy a task that is a material resource from one file to a new file,
that resource will take on the default resource type, namely a Work
resource. You will need to change the resource type on the Resource
Sheet of the new file to a Material resource.

Hope this helps.

Hi Schemr,

<<get the Summary task to show RED if ATLEAST ONE sub task is OVERDUE.>>
Instead of a Number field, put your formula in a Flag field.
In this case, you'll have different options for Summaries and Group.
Instead of a formula, use "Report" (?French version, i don't have the
English one today) and select the OR operator.

Hope this helps,

Printers have much higher resolution than projectors do. For example many
projectors have a vertical resolution of 720 pixels. With 250 tasks this
would leave less than three pixels in height to display a task. The real
issue is not with the software but with display resolution. Given the right
hardware Project COULD display the way you want.

Resource Leveling with multiple part-time tasks

Posted: 02 Dec 2005 04:27 PM PST

Hi,

If you need the resource 100% on one task it will never ever be available
for another task.

There is a way to make Project do what yoiu need but you have to back away
from using any other assignment % than 100.
This gives a very good result:

Make A a task with a DURATION of 16 hours, assign X @ 100%.
Make a base calendar showing 20% of the time to be working time (f.i. from
8am till 10:36 am)
Make this the task calendar for A
Give A a ghigher priority thn B, level minute by minute

Admire the result.

Open 2 instances of Microsoft Project

Posted: 02 Dec 2005 12:57 PM PST

You can't have multiple instances of Project running but you can have
multiple files open in the one instance that is running. Each file opens in
its own window and you can tile them side by side or one over the other with
the menu item Window, Arrange All. Won't that work to compare them?
