| Posted: 22 Jul 2004 05:18 AM PDT That's why I don't like FNLT or MFO constraints. It's soooo easy to create plans that *look* like everything is peachy when in fact it will prove impossible to work as planned and meet the targets that have been set. It's incredibly easy to create beautiful appearing plans that are really just smoke and mirrors.

| Posted: 21 Jul 2004 08:08 PM PDT John and Mike are right. This really is the best document on Project VBA. After you have gone through it, I have some examples at http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm which show some typical operations. The Microsoft.public.project.vba newsgroup has a number of examples too. http://groups.google.com/groups?as_epq=end%20sub&as_ugroup=microsoft.public .project.vba -Jack "John" <com> wrote in message news:microsoft.com... |
| Is Project the right program for my needs? Posted: 21 Jul 2004 01:32 PM PDT I don't think you'd be very happy with MS Project in this app. Like using a spreadsheet for a word processor. Try PunchList Manager (www.punchlistmanager.com), it's the industry specific software you really need here. David G.

| "Unlink" separate date columns in Project 2000 Posted: 21 Jul 2004 07:56 AM PDT John, Yes, did you read my whole response? Read the part about setting a baseline again. That is exactly what a baseline is for. Take a look at the Project help file and read all about baselines. If you then have additional questions, please post again. John |

| MS Project - Critical Path Dependant On Resources Posted: 21 Jul 2004 04:21 AM PDT Hi mtbtomo, If I may step in here. You are correct in your first statement, provided you have done nothing to upset the path. And this is one of my pet peeves with Project! When you set up your project and assign resources without any constraints, then the true critical path(s) will be shown from Start to Finish. However, Project defines a task as being critical as when slack is zero - you can get this from Tools/Options.../Calculation tab, at the bottom where you can vary this definition. Now, when you level, Project delays tasks with overallocated resources to remove the overallocation. It does this by applying a value in the Levelling Delay field - try inserting this column to see the delays (note in elapsed time eg 5edays) being applied. Project now treats such tasks that were critical as not being so any more, as there is a delay between the finish of its predecessor and the beginning of the task, ie some slack, and thus is not coloured red any more. This will continue, often up to the final task which has no delay and zero slack running up to the Finish Date. This accounts for what you're seeing. Because of this, if you are trying to reduce the length of the critical path, you will have to clear levelling first, add resources to the appropriate critical task(s) and then re-level to see the effect. If it is not enough, you must clear levelling to see the critical path(s) again, select other tasks, add more resources and re-level again - an iterative procedure to meet your acceptable deadline.

So these tasks are under a summary task 'Stock Order' and all further tasks relating to the completion of the order are successors of this summary task. I would therefore expect, as it would delay the project, that at least the longest sub task of 'Stock Order' would be on the critical path. resources the CP disappears and starts mid-project. In the first instance, everything is still reliant on 'stock Order' happening. finish date then everything turns critical. Perversely, (if I reset the Project to schedule start to finish) if I double the available resources then my critical path reappears from project start to finish.... that finish. may completion may completion start appart for If I despite whole |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2004 04:10 PM PDT No, that is % work complete (where work is counted in hours). Physical percent complete is a measure of how much work is physically complete (examples are bricks laid, miles of road paved, lines coded etc.) It should be something measurable. Physical % complete is important for Earned Value, but project lets you choose % complete if you wish. In either case, summary values are not strictly necessary, but would be a nice addition. -Jack "Ivan" <hr> wrote in message news:com... hours.

| Resource allocation within a subset Posted: 20 Jul 2004 02:27 PM PDT Hi Michelle, I can see mlore clearly now, except for what exactly you mean by "I level by work effort" Is this Project's Resource Leveling or some routine of your own? If it is Resource Leveling, it will do exactly as you want it to, it will not move anything as long as there are no overallocations. And I start wondering why your tasks do not happen the same day: they should, if they don't YOU made them move either by constraints such as setting a hard coded start date or by linking tasks to one another. Try to find out how YOU moved the tasks (Project just obeys to the rules you have set) and the problem is solved. If you do not see what I mean, send me the file, I shall have a look.

Forinstance, at the beginning of the project, where there are multiple independent tasks assigned to different resources within a high level task, I would like the tasks to start are the same day. There is no over allocation because the resources are different. speaks re-allocate |
| Local copies of server project files Posted: 20 Jul 2004 02:27 PM PDT Paulo -- When you are working with Project Server, then Project Web Access is the recommended method for gathering actuals from team members. Is there no way that you can set up Project Web Access for use by the remote team members? Very simply, you are using the Project Server system contrary to how it is intended to be used, which results in the problems you are seeing. Just a thought. -- Dale A.
