| Posted: 30 Jul 2004 11:56 AM PDT You might want to also check some of the Word 2003 topic areas dealing with Digital Rights Management. I understand the ability to control who does what to documents is one of the features greatly enhanced in Office 2003 Professional edition and above. Ultimately though (and this is relevant to Project which is why I'm replying in group, guys) the appropriate use of documents, be they Word files or Project plans, is a training issue - employees need to be taught what are and what are not appropriate uses of information and files and who is allowed to change what. Official organization policy documents need to be drafted and circulated so everyone knows clearly what is and is not acceptable and training programs put in place to make sure everyone gets the word. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Mike" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:75b801c47666$fbedbd60$gbl... |
| Entering data into various cost tables Posted: 30 Jul 2004 08:19 AM PDT Thanks, Jan. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes. -- Larry Nevins "Jan De Messemaeker" wrote: |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2004 07:28 AM PDT I don't think that you can show the "eday" equivalent for a summary task. You can use a custom field to display this though. Just put use a spare text field and use this formula: datediff("d",[Start],[Finish]) -Jack "Mike" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:746101c4764e$73687a10$gbl... |
| Start/Finish Vs Actual Start/Finish Posted: 30 Jul 2004 06:32 AM PDT Store your "planned" dates in a baseline. Start and Finish are really "current" rather than planned. As you have seen they show what the current start and finish are so for tasks that are completed they should show the actual date. If you save a baseline (tools menu / tracking / save baseline) then you can find the planned start and finish in baseline start and baseline finish. You can use the tracking gantt view to display the current and baseline dates. -Jack "Kekko" <com> wrote in message news:google.com... |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2004 04:08 AM PDT Hi, You might have found the outdent bug described here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;834684&Product=OffPr2003 I think the service pack fixes it; get it at the Office update site: http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/default.aspx I don't think there is a way to set the delete button to remove the entire row. I'm fairly sure they changed it because people were used to Excel, where delete would only clear the cell. I don't see any options in the menus for it either. The only option I can think of is to write a small VBA script and bind it to a shortcut key. HTH, Jason If line? |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2004 11:26 AM PDT Dan, As far as a direct approach Jack is exactly right, but your scenario requires some thinking outside the box. How about the following. Put the first month's flurry of tasks in its own Project file, the 10 month slow roll task in its own file and the last month's flurry in yet a third file. External links can be used between files to maintain schedule logic. You could also create a master file with all three inserted subprojects however you will still face the timeline issue when viewing the master. At least with three files, a timeline can be chosen that is best suited for the ongoing activities. An alternate off the wall approach might be to set up two custom views. Once with a detail timescale for viewing tasks in the first and last months and one with a gross timescale for viewing the 10 month period. There are probably other ways to get there also. It depends on what you want to see and do or should I say, what you are willing to see and do. Just some thoughts, brought to you by the guy outside the box :-) John |
| Fixing Start AND End Dates of tasks Posted: 29 Jul 2004 09:09 AM PDT Steve, Yup, that is the other saying I thought of. But since our fellow MVPs are international I'm not sure how many American sayings are universally understood. John |
| multiple rates per person possible? Posted: 29 Jul 2004 07:59 AM PDT Hi, Just a few minutes ago I posted a little macro that transfers a resource field into a cost rate table's standard cost.

| Posted: 28 Jul 2004 09:40 AM PDT Thanks Sean. And is there a possibility to have holyday dates in Project, without using outlook nor adding those by hand? Thanks. JLC "Sean" <com> wrote in message news:5f3501c474d1$de5907a0$gbl... |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2004 09:13 AM PDT We had this same problem- One place to check is your resource sheet- as we found a BUG , where several thousand generic resources were getting auto-generated added into this problem project- deleted those and the problem went away! Also, the task note on the Zero task line can only be 255 characters- this hangs up projects as well. Hope this helps, Jodi M |
