Does MS Project have possibility to draw S curve automatically?

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 04:34 AM PDT

Thank you it really helped. I have visited your site and marked it in
favourites to come back.
I am working in small company, after rather big experience on big projects
in big company. Now I miss data base for unit productivities (in construction
and maintenance of oil production plants). Do you have some links to places
where exchange of experience can be done without membership fees. I am ready
to give samples of schedules for tank maintenance works: rebottoming,
painting etc.

Thank you John, I appreciate your quick response.

We were thinking that the corruption had something to do with the fact that
the file was password protected. However, we decided to go back in and
re-create the file.

Exporting Time-phased data

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 07:20 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes. I've tried the "Analyze Timescaled Data in Excel", however I am
constrained to using only the task name field to identify the rows in my
resulting spreadsheet; I want to include data from other columns as well
to help in the sorting/analysis of the entire data set.

For example, I want to summarize costs by WBS, or by resource group, or
other custom resource fields I've created.

Is there a way to create an export map for the "Analyze Timescaled Data
in Excel" the same way you can export other data using export maps?

Cost factors of material resources

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 05:13 AM PDT

Hi Eswer,
I'm assuming you are trying to assign an extra cost (you call it a burden)
onto your material cost? This is common accounting practice.
If this is this is the case and if the burden is a constant (e.g. Add a set
% to the material cost) you can create a custom field which uses the material
cost as the base and multipy it by the constant.
When I say the burden needs to be standardised I mean it should be a fixed
%, i.e. the business want to add 20% to all material costs!! The 20% is fixed
and can therefore be used in the formula based custom field.

Paul

Hope this clarifies my answer.

Hey

Jack, you seems to be the expert.

yeah i noticed that i missed the parantece. but its not that.

Sorry if ive explained the problem a little bit diffuse.
but its not a problem to get a object to a string. but the problem is to get
"activity.calendar" to be an object.

but it is possible to write Activity.Calendar in VBA?

if i dont get this to work , it is possible to send you a sample project

Material Resource overload

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:21 PM PDT

How could you set a max even if Project allowed it? Material resources are
things that are incorporated into the deliverable or consumed during its
production. If I have a wall that will require 500 bricks I can't just
arbitrarily stop building when I've used 250. If I did the wall won't ever
be finished and the project will be deemed a failure. Project's tracking of
material resources is to insure you know how many to order so you will have
enough on hand to do the job required. Essentially you can't load based on
materials - if the budgeted allowance isn't sufficient to complete the
required deliverables you only have three options - buy more materials,
reduce the project scope, or abandon it altogether.

Scheduling with a deadline while behind schedule

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:03 PM PDT

Hi,

When you use the reschedule work function, it shifts the unfinished work to
today (or tomorrow, depends), that is true.
It ignores predecessors of this work, logical isn't it, that's the past, you
only plan the future.
But it doesn't ignore the successors to these tasks, these are shifted just
as well.
You will probably get negative slack (if you fixed the end date with a hard
constraint) or a schedule overrun (when you only put a delay on the final
task).

Now by all means you're to move: can you increase resources (only few people
can, you know); can you use subcontreacting to speed up, etc.;LS project has
no way of guessing this and I wonder if any software will know your
possibilities to improve the schedule..

Slip task

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 11:17 AM PDT

Reading your post a question came to mind - was any work performed on the
11th? The task was originally scheduled to start on the 11th. If work was
NOT performed on it, we don't have a task being interrupted, we have a
task's start being delayed which is not the same thing at all. A task is
interrupted if work starts and then stands-down for some reason. If work
was performed on the 11th, the day of work for the 11th is "used up" in the
overall task duration and the interruption begins with the first moment work
should have happened but didn't, which is to say, the morning of the 12th,
NOT the moment the work that was performed finished, the afternoon of the
11th. If we work 8-5, work was done the 11th from 8 to 5 and the
interruption begins 8am the morning of the 12th, not 5pm the afternoon of
the 11th because non-working time, the hours from 5pm->8am, is ignored by
the calendars and might as well not even exist as far as the project is
concerned. The easiest way to post this to your schedule would be to enter
any actual work for that task on the day(s) it took place and then with that
task selected, use from the menu Tools / Tracking / UpdateProject and with
the radio button for "Selected Tasks" in the dialog box selected, use the
"Reschedule Uncompleted Work to Begin After..." option.

Hi Guys,

Print specific pages

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT

I receive on a daily basis emails which contain 1-40 word documents that I must print and then process. Each document is 4-5 pages with 2-3 of the pages being instructions which I don't need. If I right click on all the files and do a quick print they all print but I end up with a lot of pages I don't need which wastes paper. If I open each document one at a time and just print that pages I want that saves paper but adds a lot of extra time. Does someone have a script or know of a way I could do a quick print of specific pages on a group of files?

MS Word XP now tells me that I need activate it, due to hardware changes I made 2 months ago!

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 11:48 AM PDT

I have been using MS Word XP for many years. Suddenly, today, 7-2-2014. Word gives me a dialog box which tells me that I have to reactivete Word, because of the upgrades which I have made to my computer. Two months ago, I replaced the motherboard and added a Solid State Drive. It took MS Word 2 months to realize that hardware changes have been made??? I followed the instructions which indicated to "Load the installation DVD for MS Office XP, and click next, which I did. My computer sat there and did nothing for several minutes. I tried again, with the same results. I understand that support for XP has gone by the wayside, but what is causing problems with software which has worked great for years? I have not tried Excel, Access, Powerpoint, or Frontpage, yet. They will probably give me the same indications as Word. I need the "FIX" for this problem!

Problem with Office 2013 documents after PC resumes from sleep

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 10:12 AM PDT

Have a number of PCs in a work environment that exhibit the following error messages when they are woken from a sleep state and the user was working on a Word or PowerPoint document via a network share.

PowerPoint error: The file you were working with was modified during suspend mode, and the original version is no longer available. <file path and name.ppt> must be re-saved.

Word error: Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes.

Having searched the error message I can see that hot fixes were created to fix the issue in Word 2007 and 2010, but nothing seems to relate to Office 2013.

All the PCs have the latest OS and Office updates.

I tried the NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds reg fix from this link - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626998/en-gb , and obviously applied it to the Office 2013 key, but to no avail. The additional steps talk about applying the available hot fix, but this is not applicable to Office 2013.

Information:

All PCs Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office Professional Plus 2013

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Where did the "Always autocorrect to..." option when right-clicking go?

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 08:26 PM PDT

I see where I can go in and manually enter in an autocorrect replace THIS with THAT, but in every other version of Word that I've used if I right-click on a misspelled word I see the autocorrect suggestions then a choice to "Always Autocorrect to ->", and if I move the cursor over that I see the same list of choices of autocorrections but this way my choice is saved. 

So for example:

* If I type "neverously" in Word.

 * Right-Click the word and I see the choices of feverously; numerously; nervously, etc

* I choose nervously.

* It corrects it THAT time but not again the next time I type neverously.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help!

Microsoft Word 2014 slow in typing

Tracking Changes - Non-Feature / not wanted / can't make it go away

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 04:56 PM PDT

A truly ridiculous feature.  

You start with a BLANK page, and it TRACKS CHANGES.  As in, everything you enter is TRACKED as a change.  You can turn of the tracking, save the document, open it again, and Voila!  Tracking is back again. And EVERYTHING you type is a change

I have found several suggestions, from non-Microsoft sites that suggested changing the normal. template, which I did.   Microsoft support seems utterly uninterested in actually helping with problems.  The most you can hope for is to randomly locate another user who may have read the goat-entrails correctly and stumbled across a solution.

Now, I ask you, why on earth would you make the TRACKING feature(?) a default without an easy way to disable it?

How can I configure custom memory size for video?

So I swapped in a board with 8MB already on it (which was more than

I did have to edit xorg.conf anyway, but "man xorg.conf" is quite
adequate for editing color depths and video modes. So much easier
than trying to make the old video card do what it was never designed
for.

By the way, I also looked at my XF86Config file from my Fedora Core 2
installation, but I'm not sure I'd now recommend what I found there.

Oddly, system-config-display still shows only 640x480 and 800x600
modes, although the display actually is 1024x768 at this moment
(verified by a screen capture). But that problem can wait.

(laced throughout). This is a likely occurence anyway, but even more-so
if one used a PXE type setup (option B above). Certain blocks of data
may become 'locked' and broken up into pieces. But, either way, the
swapfile can always be forced to the outer-most blocks.

I am no NTFS guru-type, and I could be mistaken about certain explicit
details.

YMMV

First thing to try is doing and fdisk/mbr and then booting to linux with
a cd to see what partitions are there and try mounting them. You then
might try to copy any important data to a linux partition and go from
there. Beyond that, you'd have to check the correlation between the fats
and the files themselves to see what's scrawed. If you don't know what
that means, don't do it and stop there maybe try doing a scandisk
*without* fixxing errors just so you see what and where they are copying
all it tells you down.

Sometimes eth0 & eth1 swap in Fedora

Coming late into this thread I would like to add this to the discussion.
If it is not relevant the please disregard.


7.4.3.7. Device naming order changes randomly after rebooting

This is due to the fact that Udev, by design, handles uevents and loads
modules in parallel, and thus in an unpredictable order. This will never
be “fixed”. You should not rely upon the kernel device names being stable.
Instead, create your own rules that make symlinks with stable names based
on some stable attributes of the device, such as a serial number or the
output of various *_id utilities installed by Udev. See also the network
interface renaming example in Section 7.12, “Configuring the network
Script”.

7.12.1. Creating stable names for network interfaces

Instructions in this section are optional if you have only one network
card.
With Udev and modular network drivers, the network interface numbering is
not persistent across reboots by default, because the drivers are loaded in
parallel and, thus, in random order. For example, on a computer having two
network cards made by Intel and Realtek, the network card manufactured by
Intel may become eth0 and the Realtek card becomes eth1. In some cases,
after a reboot the cards get renumbered the other way around. To avoid
this, create Udev rules that assign stable names to network cards based on
their MAC addresses.
First, find out the MAC addresses of your network cards:
grep -H . /sys/class/net/*/address

For each network card (but not for the loopback interface), invent a
descriptive name, such as “realtek”, and create Udev rules similar to the
following:
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules << "EOF"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="52:54:00:12:34:56",
NAME="realtek"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:a0:c9:78:9a:bc",
NAME="intel"
EOF

These rules will always rename the network cards to “realtek” and “intel”,
independently of the original numbering provided by the kernel. Use these
names instead of “eth0” in the network interface configuration files
created below.
Note
Persistent names must be different from the default network interface names
assigned by the kernel.

I've seen this on a number of occasions where clients had many projects
(20 - 40 maybe?) connected to a resource pool. Eventually they become
corrupt, beging doing weird things like you're seeing. I've never been
able to trace the exact causes. Some of the symtoms are:
"Ghost tasks" - tasks that continue to remain in the RP after the
project they came from has been removed from the RP.
Tasks showing different hours than what the current schedule shows
(hours they were previously scheduled for)
RP locking up.
RP won't open.

For clients in this situation, I created rigorous protocols to connect
projects to the RP and for removing them. I've never been back with
these clients, so I don't know if the problems continued.

A rememdy I've seen here is to store all the projects and the RP in
Access, then re-create them back in .mpp format. I think if I got them
all over into Access, and they worked, I'd just keep them there.
Hope this helps in your world.

MSP2003 - linking tasks using % complete to drive start date

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 08:07 AM PDT

Following other's suggestions, I prefer to show such situations as FS-25%.
Buty there's a consideration to keep in mind regardless of how you do it. A
link is a permissive control. It does not exist to force the schedule to
fit a particular timetable. When you have a predecessor linked FS to a
successor, it says that there is some physical reason that the predecessor
must complete before the precessor is even ABLE to start. Maybe the
predecessor produces some parts that the successor requires, for example.
Lead times like we're talking about modify that relationship slightly saying
that you can go ahead and start the successor when the predecessor has
produced enough parts to proceed even if it hasn't finished all of them that
it's going to produce. So when you enter the lead times as we've suggested,
make very very sure that it's physically possible for it to happen that way
and you're not just using the technique to force the schedule into what
you'd like it to be without regard to whether it's realistic to do it that
way or not.

Project is sold separately from Office Pro.

They are in the office "family" but they aren't part of the "Office"

If they weren't then microsoft would probably charge a fortune for Office.

resource sheet - max unit column's and calculation of duration

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 12:18 AM PDT


Hi Mahesh,

You have been correctly informed, but let's have a different slant. If you
re-set your example with Fixed Work, Max Units 100% and 8 hours of work for
1 day. Now, in the Resource Sheet view, reduce the max.availability to 50%,
Project will mark the overallocation by turning the Resource Name red. If
you try to level you will get a message to the effect that Project cannot
resolve the overallocation. So you have to do it yourself. Change the
duration to 2 days and all is well, the overallocation disappears. The
result of this is the Finish Date goes out by 2 days - but you have to
manage this, as changing the Max Units doesn't change the Finish Dates.

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 :)

comment on something else you mentioned. Although Project will allow
Predecessors and Successors on Summary Lines, it is not a recommended

When you copied the tasks did you click "Copy" or "Copy Tasks"?

If you select the tasks by selecting their 'row header' and then clicking
copy tasks you should get the resources that are assigned along with them.
This should include their rate information. If you are not getting rates
you could manually verify that the resources that are in the new projects
have the correct rate info.

Summary Task Durations

Try Tools/Options.../Schedule tab and Durations in entered in minutes. If
you have small durations, this should show the Duration in minutes. if it
stll zero, you have other problems.

We need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is Project
at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom occur with other
projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on other PCs? Does it
occur with other projects on other PCs?

Export Time Phased Data

Cheryl,
Sorry if this is duplicate post - I had a power outage last night and it
messed up my clock.

Unfortunately the "Analyze" utility exports data by assignment.
Therefore, unassigned task data is not exported. There are two choices.
The easiest is to temporarily assign a dummy resource to "unassigned"
tasks and then use the utility, or use an advanced feature of Project,
namely VBA, and create a custom macro to export the exact data you need.
I prefer the latter because it gives me total flexibility, but then, not
everybody knows how or wants to use VBA.

Text fields are another matter. They are not timescaled so the utility
will not work for them. Again you have two choices. One simple method is
a cut and paste from Project to Excel. The second is to use an export
map to export the static (i.e. non-timescaled) data from Project to
Excel. Once in Excel the timescaled and static data can be combined as
desired.

Hope this helps.

Protecting the detail

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 08:48 AM PDT

Hi Cheryl,

The crux of what I'm trying to do here is not present a printed image of the
milestones that someone would have to transcribe into a bigger plan but to
give select 'feeds' of key milestones that could be easily integrated. A
gantt is the preferred way to do this purely from the 'picture... 1,000
words' point of view, however task names and dates is a fall back position.

Thanks all,
