Hello Maxime,
You can declare your classrooms and your simulators as resources in the
Resource Sheet.
On a task named "Lesson 3" for example, you can assign the Classroom 2
MS Project will tell you is the Classroom 2 is available during this period
of time.

% Complete updating

Posted: 14 May 2004 02:01 PM PDT

Hello Deluth,
A little bit confusing...
If the task actually should take longer... you are not ahead of schedule,
but your are late...
Anyway, as Dale said, don't use the % Complete. In the Update Tasks dialog
box (Tools / Tracking / Update tasks...)
enter the Actual Start, the Actual Duration, the Remaining Duration.
That's all.

Tell us if it works

finish, the Finish date changed to the actual finish date and the duration
shortened. This doesn't give me a very good view into the project. It
looks like the duration is shorter, but the task actually should take
longer. How do I rectify the Project so that it would show that my resource
was ahead of schedule?


How can I open an old MS Project file, while having only Ms Project 2000?

Posted: 14 May 2004 06:56 AM PDT


Me,
If the FAQ referenced by Julie doesn't help, (i.e. the "old" Project
file is version 4.x and you don't have access to Project 98), I will be
happy to translate the file for you. Let me know via e-mail.

random line on chart

Posted: 14 May 2004 06:47 AM PDT

Hi Aimee:

The line may also be the vertical line showing the
current date in the Gantt chart.

You may hide the display of the current date line. Go to
Format --> Gridlines in the menu.
Find the Current Date in the Lines to change list.
Set the type to the top item in the list ( the blank
option).
Click OK and the line will be gone.

Hope this helps.

OT: Advice managing R&D

Posted: 14 May 2004 06:13 AM PDT

Yours is an example of where the PERT approach can be of value. The CPM
method, which is the basic MSP strategy, are deterministic and is based on
well defined tasks with durations that can be estimated reasonably well.
PERT, on the other hand, is probablistic, with the schedule based on a
weighted average duration. You may not have done this exact task before but
other projects have had similar tasks. You can look at the historical data
and come up with an average and sdev of the actual duration for similar
tasks in similar projects. Plug the average and +/- 3sd values into MSPs
PERT calculator to come with a best case, worst case, and most likely set of
durations, essentially 3 project plans instead of just one. Or take the
average of previous projects and then consult with the subject matter
experts doing the work to come up with a best case and worst case estimate
for the tasks in this one and apply the PERT formula (D(b)+4*D(a)+D(w)) / 6
to come with the duration estimate for the task in this project. (That
formula is what the built-in PERT tool uses in MSP).

Hi,

Two major shortcomings:
1) mpx doesn't handle time scaled data. So, if you have 10h in week1, 5h in
week2 and 15h in week 3, then the mpx format exports 10h per week for 3
weeks. It also doesn't export any fields added to Project from 2000 onwards.

2) mpx is no longer supported. The replacement is xml. Project 2002 onwards
can export and import xml files. Xml files support all fields up to and
including 2003.

Remember the basic purpose of MS Project is not to accept as its input a
schedule you have come up with elsewhere but rather taking as input what
needs to be accomplished and the assets you have to do it with, it then
calculates and gives you the optimal schedule you can have. You don't tell
it when tasks *will* take place, rather it tells you when tasks *can* take
place and schedules them so as to give you a completed project in the
shortest possible time. IMHO, a "Start No Earlier Than" constraint is
appropriately used when some condition external to the project makes it
impossible for the task to start as early as Project would otherwise
schedule it. The example I use in classes is filming a movie and we need to
shoot at a certain location. We're ready to shoot that scene in mid-June
but the owners of the location have said that under no circumstances can we
come on the property to begin setup until after the July 4th holidays.
Hence we'd use a SNET constaint to move the task out to the first date we
could work on it. If you do need a planned delay - waiting for parts
delivery after an order is placed or waiting for a contract to be approved,
for example - you still don't designate the start date for successor task -
instead you use a lag time inserted in the link to create the necessary
delay between the two tasks. That way if the predecessor is pushed back,
the successor is pushed back a like amount and the required delay between
them is preserved. Or perhaps the resource that will work on the task isn't
available until after a certain date. Even then, you don't directly
designate the date the task will be scheduled on. Instead you input the
information about when the resources are available and Project will schedule
tasks accordingly when you assign the resources to them, only placing them
on dates where the resources required will be there to work on them.

task does not need to immediately start even though the dependency requires
that it has to at least wait for the previous task to finish before it can
start. The "start no earlier than" constraint is not necessarily the only
sceneario here but it could be one of the reasons that a planned delay is
set in the schedule. Does that mean I cannot properly import and merge with
existing project file when dates are entered in schedule on purpose? 
constraint can be removed once the late activity has started with actual
start date and % of completion.

Why does Project 2000 show "0" when I calculate SPI

Posted: 13 May 2004 12:38 AM PDT

There are a number of problems with your approach as you've outlined it.
First and foremost you said you save your baseline and then add your tasks.
This is completely backwards. The baseline is a collection of data about
the tasks and resources and so if you do it in that order there is no data
yet present to save in the baseline. The baseline is a fixed "snapshot" of
the project data at the moment you've saved the baseline and does NOT
automatically update as the project changes. You need to set up the entire
project, enter all the tasks and sequence them, define your resources and
their rates and assign them to their tasks (You didn't mention that you'd
done anything with resources but without them there is nothing for Earned
Value and SPI to measure since it uses resource costs as the tracking
metric), level any overallocations, and finalize the schedule, THEN save (or
re-save) your baseline. The baseline should represent the completed project
plan as you intend to work it, saved as the very last thing done after
getting management approval and sign-off but before beginning actual work.
Then as work proceeds you update the project posting in actual performance.

Now to earned value - remember BCWS is the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled,
BCWP is Budgeted Cost of Work Performed, *AS OF a specific Status Date* (you
left out whether you had set the status date or not). That's why you need
to have both assigned resources and entered actual progress to date.
Without resources there is no work to be scheduled and without actuals there
is no record that work has been performed. So you decide what date you want
to see earned value reported current to and set that date as the status date
in the Project Information menu. Then in the View Menu, select Table, More
Tables, and from the list of available table displayed select one of the
Earned Value tables. You don't need to create a custom field to display
SPI, it's already there as a standard field and is already included in the
EV tables supplied out-of-the-box or available for inclusion in a custom
table.

Hope this helps ...

You need to set the Start date of the project by clicking Project - Project

task in the project is not the same thing, and is probably the source of
your problems. Hope this helps.

Hi again,
 

Not sure if i get everything...
I think it would be possible to create a numbering style (or one for
each revision) that, applied to the changed paragraphs could put a
number symbol (i.e. number in triangle) in front of the paragraph. I
also think the numbering styles can be adjusted like that that the
paragraph is not indented, but the numbering symbol is put more to the left.

Is that insufficient?

It looks easy in the first place, especially if you do it manually, but
an algorithm that replaces the text of a paragraph in a way that the
size of the text in all areas doesn't change needs some thought and also
some work. Consider a text containing objects anchored at a paragraph,
others anchored at a character or as a character with different
alignments and wrapping modes - it can become quite challenging to
replace the text by dummy text in a way that the document is layouted in
the same way as before. Sometimes only subtle changes make a document
layout loop or not.

You are right that other parts of the document can create bigger
problems, but IMHO even the text replacement is at least not trivial.

Hi Brett,

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 230895 OFF2000:
"Installation Ended Prematurely Because of an Error" When You Run Office
Setup
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230895


WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
Method 1: Run Setup from a Network Server
If you are in a networked environment and you have access to an
administrative installation of Office 2000, run Setup from this location
instead of your CD-ROM drive. The security settings mentioned in the
"Cause" section of this article do not affect running Setup from a network
server.
Method 2: Turn Off the "Restrict CD-ROM Access to Locally Logged on User
Only" Security Option
If you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only
security option, you can run Setup from your CD-ROM drive. Please see the
documentation on the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager for more
information about modifying this setting.

NOTE: You may have to restart after you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access
to locally logged on user only security option before you can run Setup
from your CD-ROM drive.

Lost MS office activation key

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 09:41 AM PDT

Just for interest sake how long have you been using computers? Also,
are you asking a question regarding Product Serial Number for Windows XP
or MS Office XP?

If it is the Windows XP serial number you are after then this should be
stuck at the back of your PC case where you connect all the cables. The
factory installed version of Windows XP will have a different serial
number to that of your actual PC because Dell is authorised to roll out
standard configured systems using standard serial number assigned to
Dell worldwide.

If it is the serial number of your Office XP then this should be on the
CD jewel case or CD cover depending on how this came with your system.

You have to understand that Dell is shipping out millions of systems
every year some with only Windows XP and some with additional software
such as yours. It is difficult for them to standardise a system to
supply you for the lifetime of your PC. After all they are running a
business of selling PCs. Is it still under DELL's warranty of 1 year
(perhaps more if you paid for the extension)?

For the future, you need to organise yourself so that these things don't
get lost. Have you got lot of clutter in your house to make it
difficult for you to store important CDs (and manuals!) safely? Perhaps
you may need to make copies of original CDs and keep them besides your
computer (in your safe house) as these are invariably required when you
install Service Packs and critical patches.

Where should I install Office 2003

Posted: 02 Jun 2004 12:18 PM PDT

You can place the installation anywhere you wish but be advised that there
are several MB of files that will need to go to your boot partition.
Installing to a second partition/hard drive may be a good idea for space
saving, but if you need to reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall
Office anyway since the boot partition has essential system files.

You can have it installed on one desktop and one laptop. If you replace the
laptop, then uninstall it from the original one. If you replace the
desktop, then uninstall it from the original one. As long as you are
removing it from the old machine, and it is only installed on one desktop
and one laptop, you are in compliance (as long as that is the agreement you
agreed to in your end user license agreement provided with the software you
are installing).

Problem with Setup

Posted: 31 May 2004 08:13 AM PDT

Hi, Rob,

When you insert the installation disc, it should display a series of screens
that ask you if you want to install Office, and how. You can use these
screens to customize how it's installed, if you so choose. The default, I
believe, would remove all previous versions of Office. So if you make no
choices and just blow through the installation screens (which most of us
do), that's likely to be the default behavior.

Read each of the installation screens that come up while you're installing,
and try overriding the default of removing all previous versions of Office.

If you use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove registry entries
related to the installation state of Office 2000, it is possible that Office
2000 will no longer function properly. However, your upgrade will no longer
recognize that Office 2000 is there, and the Windows Installer will no
longer request installation media (because it won't "see" Office 2000 any
longer).

Microsoft have learned what a pain this is, and current versions of Office
have mitigated the requirement for original media. This requirement still
exists for Office 2000. However, they have recently released a patch for
Office 2000 that may eliminate the need for original installation media; you
could try installing it. Your Office 2000 needs to be at the SR-1 level to
use this patch, but it might be an option for you. The details are covered
in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835220 which
provides links to the downloads.

You could install it, then try your upgrade again.

To the OP, let me play around with the CIW and see if it can be done.

Forgot to tell you that at the bottom of the KB article you referred me to
is this:

"Click Insert AutoText on the Header and Footer toolbar, and then click
Filename and path.
To insert the file name and path into the body of a Word document, point to
AutoText on the Insert menu, point to Header/Footer, and then click Filename
and path."

This is the Filename and path entry that is missing.
