| changing file titles in print box? Posted: 28 Jun 2005 09:52 PM PDT WD, your assumption in this case is not correct. If you set the Title in the Properties for the file and save the file, it will save that title. If you do a Save As, then it will have the same Title value as the original file, so you would have to change it in the new file if you wanted something different, but it does not revert to some default value each time you close the file.

| Publish All Information appears to not work Posted: 28 Jun 2005 01:41 PM PDT It would be a lot easier just to Republish all assignments ratherr than doing them one at a time. If you trust that the actuals in the plan are accurate, then you can select the checkbox to overwrite actuals in resources' timesheeets. That will ensure that the project is in synch with the timesheets. If you are not sure that the actuals are correct, then do not check the box. When you later accept updates from your resources, their timesheet entries will overwrite the actuals in the plan. -- Reid McTaggart Alegient, Inc., Houston Project Server Experts Microsoft Certified Partner "higginffx" wrote: |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2005 12:24 PM PDT I know that I'm going about this more then a bit backwards, but unfortanatly, I don't have the means to get the in-depth training I need. Due to limits on time and personal finances, my training has been what I can gleam from posts and boards on-line, a l"Show me!" book from the library, and one "free-trial" tutorial. :-) If only it were a perfect world... I really appreciate your assistance on this. Thank you for helping me! "Sarah" wrote: |

| print a calendar (MSProject) for one resource? Posted: 28 Jun 2005 08:40 AM PDT Works like a charm! Thanks. Have you figured out how to get the resource name in the header or footer? "JTS" wrote: |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2005 07:10 AM PDT I was unable to try the detect and repair, since it was asking for the install CD and our network team has it. I did create a new file and imported my old information and everything seems to work fine. In this new file, I did try changing the Text Styles for all and see how it reacted when I added a new task. This new task followed the rules I assigned. So my old file must have been corrupted, since it did not do this. Thanks for the help. "John" wrote: |
| Trying to mirror a task for a summary Posted: 27 Jun 2005 04:58 PM PDT In article <com>, "Martin H" <microsoft.com> wrote: Martin, Project is a scheduling application while Excel is a spreadsheet application. Project works primarily with time phased activities while Excel works primarily with numbers and equations. So with Excel, it makes a lot of sense that the contents of one spreadsheet cell can be made equal to the contents of another. Basically everything is either data or an equation. With Project there is little reason to have to tasks with identical parameters - it just isn't necessary and depending on the end goal there are much better ways to get there. Given that, you can have multiple identical tracking tasks in Project and there is a method to do that, although I don't necessarily recommend it. However, if you are hell bent on a duplicate task here is what you can do. 1. Establish the secondary task with a "SS" relationship to the primary task. 2. Copy the contents of the primary task Duration field. 3. Select the Duration field of the secondary task. 4. Go to Edit/Paste Special, select Paste Link and hit "OK". 5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the Resource Names and Work fields. The secondary task will now track the primary task but fair warning, Paste Links are prone to corruption. Now, if we have a more complete picture of your end goal, we likely can suggest better ways to achieve it (e.g. appropriate filtering, master file with subprojects, etc.) Hope this helps.

| Posted: 27 Jun 2005 10:48 AM PDT I don't believe that dialog box refers to Master Projects. The "Links between projects" option turns on/off the display of cross project links created by linking individual tasks between different projects. I've never seen it appear automatically with a shared resource pool. D Pingger wrote: |

If your project has "multiple entries", (and I'm not real clear on exactly what that means, i.e. is Project 1-task 1 the same as Project 2-task 1, etc.?), why wouldn't you want to show task 3 from both Projects given that tasks 1 & 2 are 100% complete? Also, are we to make the assumption that all tasks are in sequence and that there are no parallel paths (because real life plans are rarely that simple and orderly)? Making the assumption that your projects are unusually simple, on first look a filter (simple or compound) probably won't work simply because there is no good way to get the date information into the filter. For example, if all tasks are current and on schedule, the "Today" function could potentially be used to filter the next Finish date, but if the plan is ahead of or behind schedule, the current date is meaningless. At least this is my assessment. My approach would probably be to use VBA. I would filter out all complete tasks and then examine all other tasks and determine which one (or ones) are next in line for completion. That task or tasks could be identified with a flag and then filtered. So, as simple as your request may seem, the solution, (given a full definition of "next incomplete task"), requires the use of VBA. And, I'll be happy to help you with that, but more questions need to be answered. John Project MVP |

| task calendar hours diff from project calendar Posted: 26 Jun 2005 08:49 PM PDT Hi, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding. Task calendars only affect the selected tasks.

| VBA to copy an entire project to another project Posted: 26 Jun 2005 05:08 PM PDT Hi, Well, the alternative is to list everything you want to copy. For resources, apply resource sheet and all resources filter, select all, copy, paste in the new file Likewise for tasks through task sheet If you have to copy views that is thriugh OrganizeerMoveItem.

| Posted: 26 Jun 2005 04:25 PM PDT For the HTML part, you would have to modify the HTML code after exporting it. I don't think you can set font and other options before-hand. If you know HTML, it's easy. If you don't, well, the Visual QuickStart guide is pretty good! ;-) Sarah |
| Summary Task Calculation for hours Posted: 26 Jun 2005 03:13 PM PDT In article <com>, "Deborah" <microsoft.com> wrote: Deborah, I suspect there may be confusion of Duration hours versus Work hours. It sounds like what you are viewing is Duration. In Project, Duration at a Summary Line is the time difference (minutes, hours, days, etc.) between the earliest Start date of the subtasks under the summary and the latest Finish date of the subtasks. On the other hand, the Work field is the time allocated to actually accomplishing each task by one or more assigned resources. At the Summary Line, Work of all subtasks IS added numerically. If a misunderstanding of the above is NOT the case and the Duration span of the Summary Line is not consistent with the subtasks, one of several things can be at play. First, is Calculation set for automatic (Tools/Options/Calculation tab)? Second, are you absolutely sure the tasks you are viewing are all subtasks of the Summary Line you are viewing? Third, are you in fact looking at "Actual fields" (Actual Duration, Actual Work, etc.) instead of the basic fields (Duration, Work, etc.)? Hope this helps. John Project MVP |
