The last version of Project released for Mac was 4.0 which is about 4 versions and several years old. Depending on your needs, it is still a very functional version and will run under OS 9.2.2 classic mode with OS X. The main problem is it doesn't have all the latest wiz-bang features and it isn't compatible with other users who are using later versions of Project on an Intel based PC. If you want to be current, you will need to use Virtual PC for Mac. I currently use VPC 7, (although VPC 5 works fine also), and I support Project 98 through 2003 as an MVP on this newsgroup. Hope this helps. John The only Mac based Project MVP |

Posted: 16 Jun 2005 04:42 PM PDT If my estimated work is 80 hours and I take 40 hours to complete the work. My project is being tracked using '% complete'. If I put my %complete as 100%, my actual work is automatically populated as 80, but if I put my actual hours as 40, my %complete changes to 50%. What am I missing? Is there any way to record both my actual work and %complete at the same time? Thanks for your help "Steve House [Project MVP]" wrote: |

Grouping Resources Across Projects Posted: 16 Jun 2005 01:52 PM PDT Sorry everyone. I posted this from the Support Web Site this morning, then figured out to use Outlook Express and thus has been doubly posted. Please disregard this as I was helped by Gerard.

How do I accrue fixed material costs at the start of a task? Posted: 16 Jun 2005 01:43 PM PDT Work is a person doing activity and is measured in man-hours. It is not a measure of materials and you can't mix it with material consumption. Doing so is kind of like counting the number of discarded banana peels on the job site after lunch break to determine the payroll cost <grin>. "Cummulative work" is summing the man-hours expended to date. Hence it can't track the number of kits because it doesn't represent a physical count of objects. An assebler might expend 100 man-hours of work assembling a machine yet use only 1 parts kit. There is a big difference between tracking the costs of material resources required by the tasks and doing inventory management. Project does fine for the former but doesn't even recognize that there IS such a thing as a materials inventory, much less manage it. (Notice when you put in your parts kits as a material resource you can't edit the max units field? That because as far as Project is concerned you have an infinite supply of them and they're always there when you need one.) If your kits cost $100 each, project can track how many tasks use them and come with a total number required, the dates you'll use them, and how much they'll cost all together but that's about it. IT won't show you when you need to order them, how many you have in inventory, when you have to pay for them, or anything else that an inventory accounting package might. The dates where they are attributed to your budget are the dates where they have been consumed, not the dates you pull them from inventory or have to cut the cheques to cover their costs. If you think about it, from a *project management* standpoint thats ok because your parts kit is expended only when it is installed in the machine, thus the money it costs has only been spent when the kit is used - if you withdrew it from inventory and then changed your mind about doing that task, you could return the kit to inventory and you would still have its full value in the "bank." Only when it's used up would you have spent its value. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "mewise1" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
How do I filter for Overallocated Tasks in Project? Posted: 16 Jun 2005 01:33 PM PDT Hi Gerard, Thanks for your suggestion. It is quite helpful, but I'm still surprise that project doesn't have a way to filter for, or show JUST the tasks that are overallocated. What I would like is to be able to, per resource, show only tasks that are overallocated per day, so that, say you click the "next overallocation" button, it would show a list of the 2 or 3 tasks that are causing the overallocation on 6/26. Do you know if there is a way to do that? Are there any split window combinations that would allow you to filter for resource overallocations and get a list of the tasks causing overallocations on a daily or weekly basis? I hope I'm not asking for too much, but is just seems to me that project should be able to do that. Thanks so much in advance, Carlos. "Gérard Ducouret" wrote: |
