Steve,
Formulas can be made as complex as you can stand but keep in mind the
limitations of using a formula in a custom field. The formula can only
work on data relating to an individual task, the more complex the
formula the more likely it will contain a logic error, and formulas only
work on tasks in the Project file where they reside. Formulas are also
quite limited in what they can do (i.e. available functions).

Whey trying to exercise multiple decisions that may involve data
elements from many tasks, (or resource or assignments), VBA is the way
to go. The same complex formula used in a custom field can be easily
broken into smaller elements making it easier to understand and
troubleshoot. A macro stored in your Project Global can be used to
operate on any Project file. If you do not have any experience with VBA,
we will be happy to help you either directly or through suggestions for
learning VBA yourself.

I know I didn't directly answer you question. When I see someone trying
to develop a complex formula my inclination is to suggest a better
alternative.

Using a macro to create a shortcut button to apply a resource flit

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 02:09 AM PST

Hello, Blue!

You can't always record your filtering - it's better to record yourself
creating and applying a filter, then you can use the code you get to create
filters for other resources, too.

Remember to use the test "contains" and not "equals", to pick up where a
task is allocated to more than one resource.

Hope this helps

Pete



Sub FilterDaveChow()
FilterEdit Name:="Dave Chow", TaskFilter:=True, _
Create:=True, OverwriteExisting:=True, FieldName:="Resource Names",
Test:="contains", _
Value:="Dave Chow", ShowInMenu:=False, ShowSummaryTasks:=True
FilterApply Name:="Dave Chow"
End Sub

Actually you probably can create the equivalent of a hammock task with
the link lines showing, but it would take some VBA code to do so
(although I've never tried it). But, I agree with your your second

A Way to list the WBS number with each task in resource usage view

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 02:11 PM PST

Hi Lisa,

This macro should copy the WBS values into the assignments' Text1 field that
can be shown in any Usage view:

Sub CopyWBS
Dim Job as task
Dim Whodunit as assignment
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
for each whodunit in job.assignments
whodunit.text1=job.wbs
next whodunit
end if
next job
end sub

Base calendar in a Master Project

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:33 PM PST

Hi jlb,

PMFJI, but I am puzzled when you say that the master project calendar seems
to take over the scheduling for the subprojects. When I work with inserted
subprojects with different base calendars they maintain the base calendar
definition from each subproject. True the nonworking time *display* in the
Gantt chart defaults to the Master Project nonworking time but each task
schedule (including changes in start time, finish time and nonworking time)
is following its base calendar.

As John notes, any tasks added to the master will default to the base
calendar for the master.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How to track time without considering assignment units?

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 02:52 AM PST

Hi,

I'm ok with your definition: the status date is the date when a status
is done on a project: actual work and remaining work are only valid for
this status date. We do a project status during the week as soon as
actuals and estimates to complete are available from our time tracking
tool. The status date is the last friday.

What I was missing was a way to manage tasks AHEAD of the status date:
- do I have to spread extra work on past work, and how?
- how do I see the project gain of time and the final milestone
advance?

I solved these questions by properly configuring the calculation
options of ms project (please see my other post)
Anyway, thanks for your help !

customizing updates tab in PWA

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:03 AM PST

yair o --

The only way to get extra columns to show up in the Updates page in PWA is
to add them as extra published fields in each project. To do so, open each
project and do the following:

1. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
2. Select the extra fields you want from the list on the left and copy them
to the list on the right
3. Click the OK button
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Click OK

You should also ask your Project Server administrator to add these
additional fields to the Timesheet view if you are using Project Server
2003. Hope this helps.

How to add a gridline in gannt chart to show Deadline?

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 08:27 PM PST

Use the drawing tools to put a vertical line in the plan and in the line
properties lock it to the date. A better way than a vertical line would be
to insure you have a final "Project Complete" milestone and all dependency
link paths terminate on it - while not every task in a project will have a
predecessor necessarily, every one will have a successor - if nothing else,
the Project Finished milestone. Then set a deadline (Task Information,
Advanced tab) on the finish milestone. Now MSP will "red flag" if you're
going past the deadline. You could carry it farther and put a deadline on
all the tasks in the plan if you like but I don't think that would be
particularly valuable.

Dale,

Thanks for the help...I have a follow-up question. For the task below; what
would be the best way to track progress? In my case, Resource 3 completed
20% of her work, resource 1 & 2 have not completed any. I went into the view
you showed me and reduced the remaining hours for Resource 3 by 20% but for
the overall task, the % complete still shows zero. Is there a way to have
Project automatically calculate the overall % complete based on the remaining
work for a resource or do I need to manually calculate the overall % complete
based on a 20% completion for Resource 3?

In addition to the other comments. since you want some tasks to split and

leveled in the current pass and using "Level Selevcted Tasks" instead of
leveling the entire project.

You must add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to the list of
published fields in each project using Tools - Customize - Published Fields.
Be sure and select the "Let resource change field" option for both fields
and then click OK. You must then publish each project using Collaborate -
Publish - Republish Assignments. After doing this, your Project Server
administrator should add these two fields to the Timesheet view in PWA.
Lastly, you should teach your team members how to use these fields properly
while entering progress in their timesheet. Hope this helps.

It's been corrected, but it's unknown how many accounts

Backoffice integration with standard edition

Posted: 12 Aug 2004 01:50 PM PDT

James,

Building the integration isn't that difficult if you've done integration work
before. However, if all you need is relatively simple point to point
integration between the 2 apps, I'm guessing that upgrading to the Pro licenses
or looking at either Scribe or Nolan will be cheaper than the time it would take
you to build it (depends on how your dev time is valued).

In the typical integration scenario between GP & an ERP app, CRM doesn't
generate Invoices, it only receives copies of the Invoices created in the ERP
system. The integration synchs customer data and will send orders from CRM to
the ERP and then update CRM Orders as they move through fullfillment and then
into Invoicing. You would also send products from the ERP to CRM.

CRM 1.2 Security Service Startup with SQL Server Named Instance

Peter said it wasn't supported, not that it won't run. There is a difference.

CRM may run, but you will run into problems with the replication and the SFO
client as the replication does not get setup properly in a named instance.

As for the dependency, you can always add it yourself manually.

they cannot go online/offline or accept their appointments. During

Word 2013- Blank Document not pulling from normal.dotm file?

Hello,

My Word 2013 blank document is opening with no header ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1 the other day. I did online research on the normal.dotm file in the templates folder and have deleted it and let Word recreate it and still there is no header. It seems that the blank document is pulling from another file, but I cannot find a way to see what file it is using. I even did the step where I went to run entered regedit and edited the registry editor, but that did not fix the issue.

Please Help!

Thank you.

How do I make Word 2007 open zoomed to 150%?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 12:29 PM PST

I've searched on this site for answers, and so far none of what has been offered as a "solution" has solved my problem.

 

What I currently have when I open Word 2007: a blank document zoomed to 80%, page layout 'after' spacing at 0

 

What I want: a blank document zoomed to 150%, page layout 'after' spacing at 10

 

I've read all about changing the 'Normal' template... blah blah blah. But the Normal template is apparently not what my Word opens automatically, because I've made changes to that template, and when I go in and open that template, those changes are saved properly and appear the way I want. But going in and having to open this particular template isn't saving me any time. I might as well just set the zoom and page layout myself every time if I'm going to have to go in an open a particular template anyway.

 

Since opening Word automatically gives me a blank document, I want that blank document set up to what I need, and so far none of the answers I've seen on here address this.

 

Anybody know how to fix this? This seems like a simple problem...

 

Thanks,

Brian

Word 2013 endnotes formatting

I am trying to convert some WordPerfect files to Word 2013 and it's a mess. The fact that this is a long, slow process should not annoy me (but it does), but the thing I'm having no luck with is the fact that trying to restyle my WP footnotes to Word endnotes is proving impossible.  I have "converted the footnotes to endnotes" but the formatting has changed and remains hidden.  Word has apparently decided that endnotes must be in small Roman numerals, and has grayed-out the option to change that.  Also, the Style "Endnote Reference" is "hidden until used" but remains hidden even when used.  I expect there is some simple, if hidden, way to fix all this, but I can't find it.  Any ideas?

Why aren't the proofing tools working in Office 2013 on Windows 8 laptop?

When I had to use the thesaurus, Word just stopped working with a message that read "Microsoft Word has stopped working". It happened with spell check and dictionary too. I've checked the proofing preferences and everything is as it should be. I even downloaded the proofing tools again from the website, but it didn't change anything. This is really frustrating, as I need the thesaurus a lot. I've tried many online forums and have not been able to find a solution for this. I would really appreciate your quick response to this.

Merging Labels in Officed 2007

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:15 AM PST

I am very competent using mailmerge, but am struggling with Office 2007.  When I add the table to put the fields in on the labels, the cursor is at the BACK of the table and I can't get the fields in.  This happens with letters too.  What is wrong, I have had trouble ever since I got Windows7 and now Windows 8.1.  Always worked on my old computer????

Updating field codes automatically

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:12 AM PST

My company has a Word template (originally created in Word 2000) that is used for procedures.  It was originally designed to store a number of values on the cover page, using Set; for example, Set Proc_RevNumber "15" to set the revision number to 15.  Subsequent pages contain the same data in the header, and display the data using Ref; for example; Ref Proc_RevNumber \* charformat.  After recently implementing Word 2010, we are noticing that, on some occasions, the pages after page 1 do not show the current revision until the document is printed; i.e., the pages show revision 14 instead of 15 on the screen (in Print Layout view), but when printed, they are all revision 15.  This could be a concern for users.  Is there any setting in Word 2010 that will automatically update references such as these when the document is opened, so that they display correctly?

Issue with Word Documents in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 07:13 AM PST

Hi,

  We are seeing a rather odd issue with one user with Microsoft Word 2010 and when she opens a Word document. This is on a 2008 R2 Server with Xenapp 6.5 installed. Profiles are on a DFS share path with only one target enabled and permissions have been verified. When she opens a document, it comes up in read only. She can close it and reopen it and it's fine. Yesterday she didn't have the issue, this morning she did. This happens on random Microsoft Word documents and only with Word documents. No reports of any issues with Excel, Powerpoint or within Outlook. I have seen some articles and tried a couple of fixes but nothing has worked. I don't think a uninstall and reinstall Office will fix the issue as one forum I had seen with a similar issue. She said some documents had been converted over from Office 2003. This has also happened with a Word document that had been created within Word 2010. Office has been patched with the latest updates and service packs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 
  Thanks, 
    Shaun

How can I have the View save with the specific Word document?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:09 AM PST

I have documents on my computer that I want to open in either Print Layout or Web Layout View. In Word 2010 and earlier, if I opened a document it would remember the last view I had used with it - as if the View was saved with the file.

Now in Word 2013, if I open a file, it defaults to the last View I was using. I constantly have to switch views and the extra step is driving me crazy! Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ryan

Quick Parts-> Document Property: only 1000 properties are shown

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 05:36 AM PST

I have an unusual problem: 
My document has more than 1000 properties (yes, I need all of them) and they are all quite nicely show in Document Panel. But I'm able to add via Quick Parts->Document Properties only first 1000 of them, others are not shown in the list.
How can I add the others? It doesn't have to be easy, it only has to work.

UK English in Word 2013

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 04:12 AM PST

I was glad to see that my version of of Word now had UK English as its default. Previous versions kept switching out of UK English into American English.

But it appears that Microsoft's idea of UK English is that it is just the same as American English, and I'm being autocorrected from words with ...our and ...ise endings (to ...or and ...ize - and yes I know that ize is an alternative in UK English, even used by The Times, but I'm working to the style book of a company that uses ise). Does anyone know whether there is a real UK English dictionary available: the UK English option on previous versions was reasonably accurate when we were allowed to use it, so maybe there is a way of importing it.  

Microsoft Word 2013 Password Recovery.

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:39 AM PST


Hi Everyone.



I recently password protected the opening of a word document that contains my personal information,

Unfortunately I have misplaced the required password to open this file. I am the administrator of the PC that the file is stored and I created the file a week back on the same PC.


It would be much appreciated if someone could provide a solution for my dilemma, I could provide the necessary information to authenticate my ownership of this file if need be.


Looking forward to your support.

Pasting into a numbered list

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:01 AM PST

I'll begin with an easy way to recreate my problem:

 

- Create a numbered list with 3 elements.

- Manually change the indent of entire set using the vertical ruler.

- Then paste raw text into one of those three elements.

 

Word will revert the indent of the row you've pasted text into to its default state.

 

Is there any way to prevent Word from doing this?

 

(I know it's enough to properly define the styles, but the nature of my task makes it impractical).

I can't open my word document due to some issues with the contents. Please Help!

Word 2013 Ribbon won't stay on selected tab.

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 08:59 PM PST

When I open Word 2013, it defaults to the "File" tab. If I select a different tab, such as "Home" I get the options but "File" stays highlighted and when I click back into the document, the "Home options disappear and I am back at "File". This makes editing very cumbersome. How do I get the tab I select to be "sticky" and stay active until I select a different tab?

An endless page in Word?

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 03:33 PM PST

Hello! I want to create something like a catalogue. Therefore I want to export my Word document in the PDF-format.

Is there a way to make Word 2013 consider all the text/images as just one page instead of several one?

I just want to use the exported PDF-file as a database-like catalogue.

OWA: New User default Time Zone

Posted: 10 Oct 2005 11:06 PM PDT

Not So. Example:
1. Create a new user, and log into OWA via my PC.
2. Time zone is IDLWest -12:00
3. Move mailbox to another information store
4. Log into OWA via my PC
5. Time zone is GMT +10:00 (Corrent Time Zone)

Hence there is something to do with the information store and the time zone.
These cannot be external factors, since the client PC used to access OWA was
exactly the same PC, accessing exactly the same mailbox, but on a different
information store.

What version of OWA you get depends on what your browser is.
CHange to using FBA
(http://www.msexchange.org/pages/search.asp?query=FBA) and then you

Public Folders Going Away after Exchange 2003

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 11:32 AM PDT

I have not heard anything definitively on this. I know that there is a push
to move "collaborative" solutions to other platforms such as SharePoint, but
I doubt that public folders are going to go away in Exchange 12.

Are you having an issue with Exchange/OWA not related to the KB but having
it fixes your problem, the headache of having to add the domain to your

Yes, the folk would need, if they use OWA, to construct two
