Exporting settings, templates to another environment v2003

Posted: 09 Feb 2006 12:56 AM PST

Hi,

Well, it's not a matter of version, I just wandered we were talking about MS
Project allright..
If you want to transfer sttings, best is to copy the file Global.mpt into
each environment.

If you know what the settings are, you can also store them via Tools,
Organizer, in a file and transfer the file such that they can locally be
re-copied into the global.

The latter method is advisable if you want the different glob files to also
have settings of their own.

Why would they? They don't use it!
 

I very much doubt it will ever be fixed. MS would prefer their
customers upgrade to the more expensive version, and this is added
incentive to do so.
 

Not that I know of. I tried to get input from others here on this
subject some time ago, but didn't get much.
 

As I've told my kids since they were little, "Fair is something the
state throws once a year". If you're looking for fairness, better move
to a desert island in the Pacific.
Hope this helps in your world.

Use a number column to sum the manpower over a specific range

VSAT,
You basically want to sum up timescaled data and unfortunately that
can't be done (at least not easily) with a formula in a custom field.
But, that doesn't mean you can't get what you want. I can think of three
approaches.

First, re-structure you file as David C. suggested so the tasks from
1/1/06 through 2/28/06 are isolated. Then they will sum up automatically.

Second, use the Task Usage view and isolate the timescale to the period
of interest. Copy and paste data into Excel and sum it up.

Third, use VBA to gather the data you want and dump it into a spare
field.

how do i do task,same resource, part with units X, part units Y

Posted: 08 Feb 2006 01:49 PM PST

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your help, the Percent allocation is what i was looking for, it
is prefered by me other than manually add the hours because i have resources
with calendar rate different than 100% so if working with Percent allocation
i dont have to calculate the hours. but somehow, i cant change the Percent
allocation, what i do is: add new task (including remaining work hours),
assign a resource and in the Task Usage View, add the Percent allocation
field and try to change but i this field is unwritable, how do i change it,
so i can set bu my self what is the Percent allocation for each week each task

Changing All Project Dates

Posted: 08 Feb 2006 04:35 AM PST

Hi Jacques,

You are welcome.

Please don't worry about *any* question ever being stupid -- Project has a
fairly steep learning curve :-)

You can tell if a task has constraints by looking at the Indicator column
(marked with the blue "i") in the Task Sheet (left side of the Gantt Chart
view.) If you typed Start or Finish dates for your tasks, chances are the
tasks are constrained and you will need to use the Adjust Dates button on
the ysis Toolbar.

The schedule of the tasks should be driven by predecessor and successor
relationships (links).
You may find it helpful to take a look at Mike Glen's series of articles on
Project at:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMFrame.asp?CMD=ArticleSearch&AUTH=23

Mike does a great job stepping you through setting up a project from the
very beginning.

I hope this helps. Please post back with any further questions.

Balancing resources

Posted: 08 Feb 2006 01:01 AM PST

Hi,

Looks like a good approach to me!
BTW, Project's resoruce leveling does exactly that, so you could ask the
software to do the work rather than you doing it :-))

Start to Finish issue

Posted: 07 Feb 2006 06:07 PM PST

You do have it wrong. The start of the predecessor task is what drives the
finish of the successor task.
Using a Finish to Start relationship is much more common and would be have
the way you expect.

Best way to export a 2003 Project for display?

Kat,
Take your pick. There are many ways to prepare reports of Project data.
It all depends on what information you want/need to show and in what
medium you want to show it. For example, a project filtered for summary
lines may give a sufficient overview that can be printed directly. Or
perhaps one of the built-in Overview reports found under View/Reports is
a good choice. Then there is also a cut and paste option or taking a
snapshot using the Copy Picture item under the Edit menu. Some users
even get more exotic and use VBA or SQL to export Project data into
another application such as Excel, Word or PowerPoint.

As I said, it all depends on what you want to show.

TeamAssign is greyed out in Project 2000

Hi Mark,

Okay. Does your post below mean that all is working now or are you still
unable to use Team Assign?

Thanks for the questions. I did install WG Handler. I am not running
Project Central. The weird thing is, I installed Project onto my machine the
exact same way and everything works. And this was even before I installed WG
Message Handler. The only difference between the machines seems to be that I
have Office 2003 and the other machine has Office 2000

Multiline field for text display in rollup summary

Carlos,
Well I was going to caution you about the long text problem but decided
not to. Unfortunately Gantt bar labels can't be multi-line, and probably
for good reason - things could get cluttered in a hurry.

I suggest you leave off the date - that's what the timescale at the top
is for! The task name may still be too long and the only solution for
that is to abbreviate (e.g. create an abbreviated version of the task
name in a spare field and then display the spare field).
