| Project has a mind of its own! Posted: 28 Sep 2004 10:26 AM PDT Hi Lamby74, Just to add on what Mike has stated, I would also advise learning about & understanding the algebraic equation that MS Project uses when adding resources to a task (Units * Duration = Work). You also should understand that the "Task Type" (Fixed Work, Duration, or Units), which you may have noticed already, has some input to how hours may be distributed for a resource. The "effort driven" check box only affects resource's assigned hours when adding more than one resource to a task (or unassigning a resource). For example, if Effort Driven is checked on a task where resource A has 40 hours and you add another resource, the 40 hours is then split between both resources. When un-checked, the both resources would have 40 hours assigned. My advice is to definitely check into some training if you are going to use the tool. In particular, look for a course that has a process around using the tool rather than just "point and click" training so that you can learn how the tool works rather than just how to fill out some forms. Since Project isn't as user-friendly as say, Excel (if you want to call it that), training will reduce the amount of frustration yourself and others in your company *will* have with the tool. That being said, I think it's a very powerful tool when used properly. Good luck! Ian Coletti, PMP Edwards Industries, LLC "Mike Glen" wrote: |

| Posted: 28 Sep 2004 09:13 AM PDT Ok, I see now. Although I can't explain the thinking behind that, it seems rediculous to me to allow the selection of many of those fields to be placed in a Heading! The details in your Text1 field will only appear in the print out if it is shown in the table. If you insert a Text1 column in your Entry table in the Gantt Chart view, that should then show up in the Print Preview. Project cannot obviously print all the contents of all the Text1 data in its heading! Mike Glen Project MVP Diane wrote: |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2004 08:19 AM PDT Have you tried setting the files to be "hidden" (using the typical Windows File Properties) Another alternative is to change the file suffix to something like .oldmpp, then it should not come up in the file list unless the user is looking at "all filetypes" Another alternative is to zip the files into an archive. This saves space and avoids confusion but adds an extra step when you want to look at them. -Jack "Meera" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... Project to |

| Duration without decimal digits Posted: 28 Sep 2004 04:41 AM PDT Hi, And after that? AFAIK, there is no option for this. The workaround is to use a formula that displays what you want and how you want it in a text field.

| Breaking Down a Master Project Posted: 27 Sep 2004 09:13 AM PDT Thanks John! I had developed a similar game plan. I like the idea of copying the predecessors and successors into holding fields, hadn't thought of doing that. I have been discussing with the management here to not break down the project to too small of pieces. They wanted to insert the smallest subsets into Word documents. I have suggested instead that they insert link instead. Its being considered. Roland "John" wrote: |
| Posted: 27 Sep 2004 08:50 AM PDT To re-phrase: you can have a group like Carpenter with, say, 10 men. You can assign the resource Carpenter to a task and project will do just that, leaving 9 carpenters for assignment over the same period. If one of the carpenters is called Fred, you cannot assign Fred to a task and expect Project to realise that it now only has 9 carpenters left for that period. You either have a group or you have individuals by name. Hope that helped, Mike Glen Project MVP Neil Peterson wrote: |

| How does one distribute task sheets to the web? Posted: 27 Sep 2004 05:49 AM PDT Invaluable information Dale Thank-you. The weekly estimate is still not workable for what I need as no resource really remains that dedicated, sometimes yes, it will remain fully utilized for a week at a time, but sometimes the changes are hourly, a very dynamic situation as our production plans change rapidly. It is a concurrent engineering environment. It seems like one would not want this "burden" but the "burden" is ten fold if actuals are delayed, even a half day can have huge impact all this is compounded by 24/7 runtime.(three shifts) So I need to deviate from the "recommended" but that is just a question of timing is it not? The concept of weekly vs daily vs hourly adjustments is just a label, correct? So now I can see we may have to increase the level of sophistication of our team members and elevate them to Project Managers. That's OK, but we can only tolerate them as PWA users not Project Pro users, In effect these folks will be responsible for submitting and overseeing the updating of actuals into the project plan. Again this is just a label, some battles with permissions configuration, and a discipline of don't touch what you are not supposed to. The General Project Manager will resolve resource contention accross all projects or the introduction of new resources to the enterprise pool. I'm excited to get my Project Server back. (lost to leaky capacitors). I just need a few core components of it's whole mechanism to accomplish what I need. But I have also found that direct writes via third party ODBC application to a Project Prorollout with a resident datastore in SQL has it's own challenges. Which presents the best value and demands my attention is a tough choice. "Dale Howard [MVP]" <dale(dot)howard(at)msprojectexperts(dot)com> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... |

| Project Name Doesn't Change When Using SaveAs Posted: 25 Sep 2004 06:19 AM PDT Well I don't know if there is a bug. I just noticed that if you ever type something in the Title field of the Document Properties window (in File menu) then this value takes precedence over Project's default and will be displayed in the project summary task name. If you clear out this value in the doc properties window, then... the project summary taskname gets also cleared out. The only solution I found was to copy my project data to a brand new file.. and not ever touch the document properties again... There must be a trick to set this back to the original value to display the filename but I guess this would mean to hardcode something directly into the ..mpp file. Of coursse this is not documented by Microsoft... Hope this helps, Renaud "Kevin" wrote: |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2004 04:28 AM PDT Joe, As I recall there is an S-curve macro on one of the MVP websites and I think it was on Rod Gill's website at: www.project-systems.co.nz However when I tried to access the site, my browser wouldn't connect. I will contact Rod separately and see if my recollection is correct. John |
| How can I print one-day tasks only? Posted: 24 Sep 2004 07:03 PM PDT Hi i've always found this option pretty "flakey" in version 2000 - not had any problem however with it in 2003 (which doesn't help you much!) ... but one way i've managed to get it to behave itself in ver 2000 is to first choose format / timescale and set the top of the timescale to Day with a count of 1 and the bottom to Hours with a count of 1 then set file / print - time period - make sure you also click in the Dates radio button & not just set the dates.

| Move Calendar so it prints on page correctly. Posted: 24 Sep 2004 12:03 PM PDT Hi 4lane, There may be a misunderstanding here. When you write "The Calendar" do you mean the Calendar View (which Rob refers to) or the Gantt Chart?
