Hi Steve,

available in teh project after dsaving and reopening.

Actual start based on Status Date update of duration vs start date

Posted: 23 Feb 2006 06:29 AM PST

It sounds like you have a constrant on your start date or logic is holding
the date out. Add a column for Actual Start or add the ICON for Update Task.
You'll need to tell the task when it started and possible revise your logic.

Hi,

May I first quote you?

By my logic the
alap tasks should only finish at the start of the following tasks that were
set as asap

Wel, by my logic as well, and I've been asking for that development over the
past 5 years or so, but to no avail. An ASAP task becomes critical and is
"stronger" than any asap following, causing those to become critical as
well.

New task in existing plan to start LATER

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 09:27 PM PST

Thanks. That's what I do now. I was hoping for something else! This task
really isn't a successor to any particular one. When I do this, if the linked
task lags, it pushes this new task out in the schedule, and I don't really
want that to happen. In a big project, I might miss that I did that to the
task and it then doesn't get started when it needs to. The other method I've
used is to put a date constraint on it, but that has it's negatives too.

Oh well. Thanks again!

Project 2003 Professional vs Standard?

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 07:47 PM PST

Hi,

Was this a mistype or a misread? Project Professional is significantly more
expensive than Standard!

Many thanks, Dale. I actually did find it eventually at about 10 pm - and
proves that I'm an entirely unproductive person after 9pm at night. But it
is good to have this as a vehicle to answer questions and I appreciate your
response.
Kind Regards

i need a project planner for my pocket pc

Hi Harry,

Look at Project Plan from Twiddlebit, go to www.twiddlebit.com.

As Rod mentioned though there are limitations around what is visible and
that is obviously a function of the PDA size.

Hope this helps

Indenting tasks/Duration issue

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 11:18 AM PST

Hi Felix, thanks for the reponse. The time period between the tasks is only
1 day. I've pasted the contents below. The last two are indented into the
first one. Kinda funny, if I paste them into a new project the times show up
correctly. Project is very frusturating...

Task Name Duration Start Work
Finish
Move Servers 14 days Thu 3/16/06 0 hrs Fri 3/17/06
Install DHCP 2 hrs Thu 3/16/06 0 hrs Thu 3/16/06
Move servers 2 days Fri 3/17/06 0 hrs Fri 3/17/06

I have to ask - Why would you want to schedule in seconds?

Problems with assigning calendars

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 09:35 AM PST

Thanks for the responses, I have found the problem, tasks that are not
assigned as of 'fixed duration' will not resize themselves according to the
calendar.

Nils214,
See responses below. 
Yes. When setting up a hierarchy in Project care must be used. Sometimes
the user may have to go an extra step to correct an erroneous indent or
outdent. 
There have been several comments over the years about the single undo of
Project. I don't recall for sure, but the level of undos "might" be
expanded in Project 12. Nonetheless, what it means for existing versions
is that the user must be careful and perform regular saves and/or
backups - but then that's just smart computing with any application or
OS. Powerpoint is a very slick application but it isn't worth a darn
when it comes to planning and scheduling.

Peter,
The things you describe look like they are out of Project Server, which
you mentioned in your original post. Project 2000 does not have that
functionality built-in although customized data could be created with a
VBA macro or SQL queries. It all depends on how much effort you want to
invest versus upgrading to Server.

madhur:

A couple of things: You're discussing a product version that is not
available to many people. More importantly, you're discussing subject matter
that may be under non-disclosure agreement with your company and could place
both your job and your company's relationship with Microsoft in jeopardy.

With that said, I've seen the problem you describe, even with domain admins,
and I can't offer you a resolution. Please redirect your inquiries to your
points of contact at Microsoft or the partner organization you're working
with.

Tracking different cost categories

Posted: 21 Feb 2006 01:41 PM PST

Thank you. I did discover the FAQ, will try it out. I suspected some part
of the answer involved VBA and exportation of data. I don't know where to
start with VBA, sigh.

Most disappointing is the inability to do timescaled representation of a
custom field. Since my tracking granularity for some of these other
categories is monthly, maybe I could define a number of custom fields, one
for each month, and export those out to Excel for summation. While somewhat
artificial, it would allow me to at least maintain the data in a single tool
(Project) and use Excel to present that data.

Thanks again. I am grateful for your advice.
