move linked tasks together without setting lag time

Hi Kenny,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

That's what Project is designed to do! Reading between your lines, I
suspect that you have typed in dates into tasks, which is not a good idea as
that is what Project does so well: ie calculate the dates and create an
acceptable schedule for you. Every time you enter a date (or move a bar on
the Gantt chart) Project will assume that's what you want and puts in a
Start No Earlier Than constraint. These constraints will affect the
flexibility of your project and produce the results you're experiencing.
No - the best way to use Porlect is enter Tasks, enter Durations and enter
the Precedence (logic) links (with lag as necessary) and then leave Project
to do what it's best at - calculating the dates. Had you done that and put
in the appropriate lags that you needed, then you would not be posting here!
Sorry :( but your only sensible way out is to remove all the constraints
and enter in the correct lag figures.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

Scott,
Or, you could be even more awesome in your boss's eyes by writing your
own custom macro to export the custom data. Keep in mind though that you
will need to develop the algorithm for timescaling the custom fields you
developed. But to answer you basic question, yes it can be done in any
version of Project. I've done it many times and I believe Jack has also.

Deleting sub-projects within a master project which uses a resource pool.

Each subproject is a peice of equipment that we
manufacture. Once the equipment is completed and shipped
i would like to remove it from the schedule so that i
have just the euipment left to manufacturer. At this
moment, i have 20 sub-projects in the master project.

This number fluctuates up & down but usually stays close
to 20.

Project 2002 transfer data to P3 Primavera

Posted: 16 Sep 2004 01:22 AM PDT

Hello Michael, hello Mike,

P3 can read mpx files : in P3 menu : Tools/ MPX conversion utility.
Now Primavera supplies a tool which converts mpp files to mpx files. But if
you still have a Project 98 software, you can do this conversion yourself.
NB : the dependancies on Project summary tasks will be lost... but a good
planner don't uses such links ;-)

Hope this helps,

Customizing Prinouts

Posted: 15 Sep 2004 03:01 PM PDT

Hi Shelly,

You can remove the Gantt bars by clicking on the divider line between the
table and the chart and drag right over to the right. However, if as I
suspect this is a regular requirement, then I would create a new view
incorporating your table. Try View/More Views.../Task Sheet/Copy/and give
it a new name and select your Project Status table.

Foreign Calendar support

Posted: 14 Sep 2004 01:44 PM PDT

Yes, that's correct, you would be unable to import or create projects with
dates prior to 1984. But why would you want to? A "plan" implies future
intent so other than as a purely academic demonstration, why would we create
a project file for, say, the building of the Panama Canal? Projects that
straddle today's date, with some activity in the past and more in the future
that you are moving over into Project to better manage the future activity
will have most likely started less than 20 years ago. Now if we ever get
time travel MS may need to rethink the situation .... <grin>

The date range is actually driven by the way numbers are stored. Dates are
stored as an integer count of the number of 1/10 minutes "ticks" that have
passed since "moment zero." A reasonable value, 1/1/84, was arbitrarily
chosen as the start point and the register is full and overflows back to
zero again when the number of ticks equals 2^32-1, which turns out to be
31/12/2049.

Science, transportation, communications, and other businesses world-wide
tend to use the western Gregorian calendar even in those countries where
there are other traditional calendars in everyday use. An idea I've floated
to some of my classes when you encounter a situation like yours where you
need to coordinate projects with non-collocated resources in differing time
zones or that use various calendars is to follow the military and global
aviation example and as an organization standardize on UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time, GMT, or "Zulu Time") as the date and time measure that all
the organizations activities are referred to.

Nokia, with the exception of the occasional MS mole or two, has as a
company policy of strong support for open standards and lately even open
source. The next platforms are to be built on a modified Debian called
Maemo and even sponsoring porting Ubuntu to the ARM architecture.

If they don't sync with your Nokia. It should sync, but if it doesn't
then that capability is probably not far off. Be sure to file bug
reports on both sides.

Inkscape is similar to OOo and good for graphic design for pages.

Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha
blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined
interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path
operations, trace bitmaps etc.

A combination of Inkscape and OOo Writer or Scribus is going to give you
a far more professional publishing product than MS Publisher.

Hi!

(1) AutoCorrect is language-sensitive.
Note that some typos in one language can make senese in another one.
Thus you must assure that you have the desired AutoCorrection entries
for the same language that is set in the document.

(2) When adding AutoText entries...
After you entered the "Replace" and "With" field, you have to click
"New" in to get that entry into the list. Only clicking "OK" quits the
dialog without adding anything to the list.

Hope this helped.

Well the talk won't be focused as much on OpenOffice.org (I will be doing

could run on Mac althought I will have to be careful since most Mac OS7/8

[discuss] How can I remove the language attribute from textin Writer?

Posted: 13 May 2008 01:21 AM PDT

Cor Nouws wrote: 

You know it:

Set the default language to "English (US)"

Enter in two lines of text with random text with an Enter at the end.
(You might include "colour" in the first line and "color" in the second
line)

Highlight the first line & make it as "English (GB)". (The word "colour"
will no longer have redline)

Copy something from the middle of the second line. (Eg: Use the word
"color")

Paste it in middle of the first line as unformatted text or
OpenOffice.org text.

Put the cursor in the middle where the text was pasted. It still reads
"English (GB)", the word "color" is redlined and paste is not 100%
completely unformatted.
 

But it is still an attribute of the text which is stored in
Paragraph/Character styles. I'd excepted that "Reset" and "Default
Formatting" should remove a layer of formatting per application.
 

Why languages are still selectable in that pane anyway? If I press
"Reset", I expect all overriding attributes in that pane to be cleared
including language.

Maybe if you move the languages under its own pane in the style editor
where the "Reset" button would make proper sense. Note! There are three
languages in the style editor, but not one. I have CJK & CTL modes
enabled. I generally need to use Ruby & other CJK formatting in my STL
documents.

Someday, it may be possible for a font to have metadata to allow some
the glyphs to appear different for certain languages. I don't know any
rendering engines or fonts that supports such metadata, but I put that
there for a possibility. This metadata feature would be especially
useful for Pan-CJK fonts & Pan-Unicode fonts.

Yet! Why there isn't a "Reset All" button to have a Reset to include
Language, or an "Advanced Reset" to allow me to Reset on per-attribute
basis.

I want full control of document formatting. The inability of or
complications in removing non-stylesheet language formatting doesn't
meet that goal.
 

That maybe a possibility if double-click on paragraph style's name twice
is implemented. Also, a triple click to remove non-stylesheet language.

As a sidenote! I can't override "Default" character style definition,
but I can override the "Default" paragraph style definition.
 

I'd not expect to write English in an Esperanto paragraph, and vice
versa. :-)
 

Here is another example for use of "default" language:

If I am composing educational documents with versions for different
English language markets. The documents contains intentional examples of
regional variations with manual language formatting.

When I ready to create a version of a document for a English Language
market. I just change the language dialect of the paragraph style to see
the red lines for color/colour, etc. for fixing up spelling, but all
intentional examples containing regional variation examples will not be
affected by the redline effect.

Another example that I might be writing a script for a stageshow which
contains characters who use different dialects of English and/or foreign
languages, but I want all the non-dialog text (eg: Instructions for
actors) to be only in a single English dialect.
 

Look, the paragraph/character stylesheets still have language options.
If you say that language is no longer stylesheet related, wy are they
"still" there in stylesheet options?

You don't realize that some languages may have different paragraph
layout requirements so the language attribute is an important part of
the paragraph stylesheet.

The stylesheet linked "default" language behaviour still exists in
OpenOffice.org 2.4 try it.

I create a new style "Default (GB)" which is a copy of "Default" but
with "English (GB)". The original default is set to "English (US)"

I write line of text with paragraph style "Default". (Use example text
"color colour")

Put the cursor in the middle of line, bottom of screen reads "English (US)".

I change the line to paragraph style "Default (GB)"

The bottom of screen reads "English (GB)"

I change the line back to paragraph style "Default"

The bottom of screen reads "English (US)"

Yep! The "Default" language is still linked to stylesheets. I still
consider that language is an attribute of paragraph and character. Why
the stylesheet options for them still have language options in them?

Without the ability to easily remove non-stylesheet languages, I would
have to write a OpenDocument XML tool to strip all non-stylesheet
languages to correct theis "problem" which 2.4 had created.

Yep! The language attribute in Character/Paragraph styless still exist
at OpenDocument.org XML level.


Next, you would say that you can't remove |lang:en-US> in the future
"Reveal-Codes" enabled version of OpenOffice.org

Twenty-Year-Old Question About BOLD, *Italic*, and _Underline_

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 08:35 AM PDT

For twenty years, in no matter which version of Word, and no matter whether a keyboard or mouse "turns off" bold, italic, or underline... (SEE, it just did it now)... Anyway, no matter how I have turned off formatting, if I do not put a space (spacebar space) between the last formatted character (as in the "e" in the word "underline" here) and the next character--which should be returned to "normal"--the formatting continues. 

Right now, working in Sigil (not Word, but using .CSS that calls itself MsNormal), and having copied-and-pasted chunks of text from Word 2010, I finally decided I would ask this question: Why, if one mouse-clicks or keyboard-commands a certain type of formatting to turn off, does the formatting NOT turn off? For twenty years, I have done the following: 1) turned off formatting; 2) Hit the Spacebar; 3) resumed "normal" font; 4) then hit the Backspace key to join the formatted text to (generally) a punctuation mark. So that when I write Hello, Microsoft Word Experts Named Susan or Charles! Hmm...I didn't have to follow the four steps just now. Let me try this again. Hello, Microsoft Word Experts Who Respond to Curmudgeons! and By Curmudgeon I Mean More 'Mudgeon' than 'Cur'... It happened. 

In the first instance, when I Unclicked "ITALICS," and then typed the exclamation point, the exclamation point immediately "righted" itself with no need for my cha-cha-cha of Unclicking, Hitting Spacebar, Resuming Normal, Backspacing to Fill in the Void. BUT in the second example, the underlining, when I Unclicked "Underline" but then hit Space, the underlining continued.

Is this a user- or Word-based quirk? I do not know why I've done this for twenty years without asking. That is a user-based quirk. 

Thank you.

I had redefined Heading Number list, saved file, openend file and no problem.  Renamed the file and when I opened it the Numbered list does not display correctly.  In the Navigation pane, the list shows correctly but in the document, instead of numbers, there is a black solid box. 

 

I have checked the font highlighting to make sure there is no color over the text.  See attached screen image of a crop out from by One Note.

 

 

Thank you.

A correspondance problem between the footnote number and the content

Posted: 20 Jul 2013 04:35 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis; and I am using EndNote to keep track of my bibliographic source. Everything was okay, then I noticed today that the footnote number and the content of what should be in that footnote do not correspond in several footnotes. For example, footnote 20 will have a reference to a book by Smith, but it should be reference to a book by Jones. And Jones is now in footnote 22 instead. And on and on.

Is there anything I can do besides manually change a hundred or so footnotes.

Documents are saved in old Office versions

Posted: 20 Jul 2013 12:08 PM PDT

Everything was wonderful! until one day, I found myself 'signed out' (I didn't do it!) and my documents wouldn't open properly. I signed in and thought it was OK, but ever since then when I open a document – not just older ones! - I get an error message: "There was a problem sending to the command program" followed by "the converter failed to save the file". Then the document opens with a new name, involving 1's 0's and X's. I find I can open the document if I open the associated Office program first and then open the document, but that's not how it worked, the first few months, and I don't think it should be that way. I see that documents are all being saved in an older (2007) Office format and I wonder if that might be the main problem. Thanks, in advance, for your help!!

Will new fields get upgraded?

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 01:17 PM PDT

Thanks Matt

So, I guess it is always better to build an external application and then
integrate it with CRM. This will minimize maintenance issues during
upgrades.

2 Remote User Connections

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 08:18 AM PDT

SFO requires that the laptop be a member of the Domain in order to be installed.
It also will not sync across the web.

Can not Create cases

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 07:24 AM PDT

I figured out the problem. It had to do with the current case value in the
system and case numbers that I had imported from another CRM installation.
I changed the current case value and that took care of the problem.

DC and CRM

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 06:56 AM PDT

It "can" work, but it also might not. If the DC config is relatively clean,
then you might be OK. However, there have been some issues with the SFO client
and replication in a single server (non-SBS) environment.

link our database schema to CRM

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 01:02 AM PDT

Yingwu,

If I understand you correctly, the information you need to track is basically
"child" tables that are tied to the Account or Contact. The following MSDN
article covers how to setup a new page within MSCRM that displays info from
another database. You can use this as a base for creating pages that maintain
the additional information you need.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnmbscrm/html/mbs_crmapp_database.asp

You will obviously need to work out the PK/FK issues, but the concepts are
there. There are also several other articles there that will get you pointed in
the right direction.

Matt, thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, I believe that it is better for us to covert our database schema
to CRM database schema. But we realized a problem that it is quite
hard for us to convert as we are selling software online which is
typically include refund and chargeback. We have such tables to track
refund and chargeback orders. However, there is no such information in
CRM tables.

It will be too difficult for us to change the CRM mapping system to
use our schema, and also it will be too difficult to maintain.

So how is your thinking/suggestion to deal with this refund/charge
back things?

Thanks for your input!

Insert other Table

not within the existing framework of the app. However, you could develop this
on your own and interate the logic into MSCRM. Refere to the SDK and MSDN
articles for some examples.

Please help - CRM client Installation asking for web URL

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 01:26 PM PDT

Raj

On the pc where you want to install the client you need to be log in as a user which exists on the Active Directory where the CRM server is a member of. The Username/Password have to be the same. The user also needs to have a licence assigned to him/her

Duplication of Production CRM Install to Test environment

Sales: Lead become Opportunity, then Account?

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 10:09 AM PDT

Thanks for your feedback, KB :)

I think you're right in stating that sales people have to create all three
accounts from a Lead, whether that Lead has actually bought something or
not. It makes more sense to me to escalate a Lead to an Opportunity, then
to an Account rather than do the latter two at the same time, but I guess
our sales staff will just have to use the program as is :(

Create new field???

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 10:05 AM PDT

Hank - Keep in mind when you add fields in MS-CRM that you cannot delete
them. Also, yes you can create fields with look-up values/drop-down list
fields. Create the field first and publish the customization from
deployment manager. Then customize the form itself within MS-CRM (System
Customization) to add the values for that item. Publish the form
customization. Then IISRESET on the web server. Should be it. At least
that is how I do it! brian

Since Upgrading To SBS 2003 Cannot Start CRM Security Service

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 08:45 AM PDT

I thought it was going to be a much easier process. The
biggest issue that I found was an error every time I
booted saying:
"The procedure entry point GetTextExtentPointI could not
be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL"

Turns out that the OLEDB32.DLL that I had was old and the
upgrade did not replace it and that caused services to
fail.

MS CRM still won't run because now it is telling me that I
am trying to log on with a bad user id but at least I am
closer.

Thanks for your response.

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 07:09 AM PDT

I'm sure you can get it to work, but I don't know what you'd have to do to get
it to be successful. I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the security
tied to the replication.

I know there have been many people who have posted problems about trying to get
it to work, but have not seen an answer yet. Having the workstation in the CRM
Domain is listed as a req for SFO.

Error when synchronizing in Outlook

Is your CRM server on Windows 2003? I had this same problem because my CRM was on Windows Server 2003 and my active directory was on 2000. If this is the case for you, you have to open an incident with Microsoft (mbs.microsoft.com) to get a hotfix for an updated authx.dll file

ISV.config and teams

No this is not possible using standard CRM. There is no way to say only
user1 can see your addin etc.

However as CRM uses the Active Directory you could have your code ask the AD
if they are a member of a certain group and if they are run the code and if
not drop out.

Never tried it but I'm sure it is possible
