| import gantt chart from MS project2000 to MS excel2000 Posted: 12 Jul 2004 11:15 PM PDT That one is not possible to do. You can send them the Gantt chart as an image as Rob suggested but it's just that, a picture of the Gantt chart, and not the Gantt itself. If team members need to update the project information, and the only way to modify the Gantt is to change the information it's based on, they need to have access to the actual project file that contains that information and a license for MS Project or you need to setup Project Server and Web Access. That's what those products are for. FYI - the Gantt chart is not the end all and be all of project management and simply generating Gantt charts is not what MS Project is all about. The Gantt is simply a view - you could think of it as a report if you like - of the underlaying project plan. Creating and managing the actual plan is what Project is for and "modify gantt chart" falls under that umbrella. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Nor" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... don't familliar with MS project. |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2004 01:11 PM PDT Hi Mike: Look up Resource Pools in help and the book you have. What you want to do is common practice. In short, you create a project file that contains all your resource information but usually no task information. You also have a file for each project that contains the task information but usually no resources. With *both* files open simultaneously and the tasks file the current window, go to the Tools menu, Resource Sharing, and link the two files together. Now the resource information from your resource pool file will appear on the resource sheet of the tasks file. How are things along the Wasatch these days? Lived in SLC downtown on East 2nd and then down in Holladay from '85 until '95. Did a lot of programming work for Kennecott back in those days. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Mike Haddon" <gov> wrote in message news:2ad4101c4684c$73d3a570$gbl... |
| Subproject title in master project Posted: 12 Jul 2004 12:43 PM PDT Hi Rob, I'm sorry to say, but through all versions I've been using, this is an oddity. For instance, setting the title property throughVBA doesn't work at all, you have to set the name of the project summary task. In many instances, manually as well, this is generally more "powerful" than Title property.

| My work week starts on Saturday Why won't Project do the same? Posted: 11 Jul 2004 06:22 AM PDT IMHO, the working time calendar designated as the Project Calendar does NOT necessarily reflect the total hours that your business is in operation. The Project Calendar governs the placement of tasks when resources have not been assigned to them (either you haven't done it yet or won't be doing it for some reason) and no task calendar (exception calendar) has been designated for it. But that's not the whole story. Tasks only proceed when the resource is present to work on it so when resources are assigned the task moves in the calendar to follow the resource's availability. But a fully detailed WBS breaks the project work down to the level of each task = 1 resource's work. So what does that mean? If "waxing widgets" is going to take 24 hours of duration to complete, it is NOT going to proceed 24 hours continuously, even if our company works 24/5. The company (drilling platform, etc) may be running 24 hours solid, but the ONE GUY or ONE TEAM that is *working together* on that single task will come to work at some time, work for an 8 hour shift, go home, come back the next day and work on it another 8 hours, go home, come back the next day and work the final 8 hours on it. If we has put that task in the project starting monday at 8am and said its duration is 24 hours, the plan would show it finishing Tuesday at 8am if the Project Calendar is the 24 hour calendar. But that's not what is going to actually happen. What is really going to happen is the task will get interrupted for the period the ONE GUY working on it is home sleeping and it will really finish Wednesday at 5pm, not Tuesday at 8am and that's the way I like to see it show up in the plan before I get around to assigning resources. IF I actually need it to finish Tuesday I can assign a resource on Day shift, then add another on Swing shift, and another on Graveyard giving each of them 8 man-hours of work and 100% effort and although its duration will not change, the combination of the resources working hours will move its completion up to the required Tuesday morning. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Azer Nazair" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2aaa501c4674a$1e5479b0$gbl... |

| Posted: 10 Jul 2004 11:32 AM PDT Itzik, Wow, binder, I haven't heard that term for quite a while. Don't know if MS Binder will work with Project, did you try it? It's not real clear what you mean by printing all 70 files in the same view. Do you mean print all 70 files as one big file or do you mean print each of the 70 files in the Gantt Chart view for example? If you want to do the former, build a consolidated master by going to Insert/Project and select all 70 files in the Insert Project Window. If you want each file to print starting on its own page, just put a manual page break at the beginning of each inserted file. If you simply want to print each file separately, you could create a simple VBA macro to automate opening each file, setting the view and printing. If all the files are in one folder, you should be able to simply code in the folder path and have the macro open all the files in that folder in succession. These are just a couple of ideas. There may be other methods also. Hope this helps. John |
| Permanently change Current Date Line Posted: 09 Jul 2004 10:38 AM PDT John, Thanks for the help. That's just what I've been doing, is running that macro as I open each file when I work on it. Was just hoping to find an easier way, as always. I hate doing repetitive tasks, thought that was what I got the computer and the software for in the first place! At least it's just a single click of a button. David G. Bellamy Bellamy Consulting John <com> wrote in message news:<microsoft.com>... |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2004 08:34 AM PDT Thanks Rob & Steve, With your help I fixed the problem. I think that in some moment as a mistake I typed -Crtl F9- and this change to the calculation option from automatically to manually without any notice. I realize this when I follow the instructions from Rob to press F9 to calculate so in that moment the bars were to the right position either all the informaion from the duration and start and finish dates. Probably it was so obvious but never before I have had this trouble and I didn't know that you can change the automatic calculation to manually. Thanks again. Lou chance manually enter instead of just ever, enter dates intend to establish entering a finish date you typed. This etc, that should push they finish later if constraints have of the task names there. If there are, the tool bar, go to constraint entry times in the start and you sure the start and finish something other than weeks or months Calculation tab, entered as 1 day page is set to 8, the hours of work 8-12 are absolutely days duration over recalculation. from 10 the line dependencies of inadvertently move are finish there day |
| Milestone only 0 day duration? Posted: 09 Jul 2004 07:17 AM PDT Hi, I'm afraid this simply isn't true. When you marka task as minestone throught Task Information, Advanced, Project does not change the duration of the task. It simply does NOT. Start and finish do not change. It changes the graphical representation of the task to a lozenge but that is just the graphical one and it can be changed through Bar Styles. -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional http://users.online.be/prom-ade/index.htm 32-495-300 620 "Kekko" <com> schreef in bericht news:google.com... |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2004 01:28 PM PDT Dale, I discovered that I was using 'proposed' instead of 'committed' as the booking type in my resource profile after I corrected that I could then log onto Web Access/Project Center, click on 'Taskings' and find the tasks that I'd assigned myself to.

| Is Project 2003 compatible with Outlook 2003? Posted: 08 Jul 2004 01:11 PM PDT Not automatically, and it is a one-way path from Project to Outlook. The PM can use the Workgroup tools to email task assignments from Project to a resource's Outlook mailbox. Once accepted, the tasks are added to the Outlook to-do list. The PM can request status updates but a resource simply checking off a task as partially or fully complete in their Outlook task list will not in itself generate an update back to Project. Instead, the resource gets an email from Project via the PM that says essentially "You were scheduled over the last <timeframe> to spend XXX hours doing YYY. How many hours did you spend and how long do you estimate before it's done?" and the PM then triggers an update to Project after reviewing the resource's reply. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Sherry" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:28c2401c46527$b77785d0$gbl... |
