| Setting up Project for one-person projects Posted: 28 Jul 2005 03:21 PM PDT No, But you can either fill down your name in the Resource Names column or select all tasks before assigning yourself in the assign resources dialog so that you quickly add your self to all tasks. -- Rod Gill Project MVP Visit www.msproject-systems.com for Project Companion Tools and more "Rex Eastbourne" <com> wrote in message news:googlegroups.com... |

| Large Scale Timeline workable? Posted: 28 Jul 2005 09:17 AM PDT Staceman, If you have access to a plotter, that will be your best bet for printing the fewest pages. You will still be constrained by the paper width the plotter uses (i.e., multiple horizontal banners), but you should be able to go into the Printer Properties and set up a custom paper size that best fits your needs. Hope this helps! :) -- Don L. "Staceman" wrote: |

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 07:19 AM PDT In article <com>, "San Francisco" <San Francisco @discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: Francisco, Unfortunately Project does not make the fields for split start and stop available in Project views. I know of only two ways to replicate spits on multiple tasks. If resources are assigned one method is to show the Task Usage view and then manually manipulate the Work to create dead time (i.e. splits) as desired. A second method is use VBA and set up a loop for all tasks that are to be split. Within the loop use the Split Method to establish split start and end times. Hope this helps. John Project MVP |

| complete through, how calculated on summary bar Posted: 27 Jul 2005 02:36 PM PDT For some reason I thought the question was about how progress was computed for summary tasks. If it's for performance tasks he's asking, the Complete Through date would simply be the Start Date plus the Actual Duration not including non-working time would it not, same as the ProjDateAdd() function? -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Jan De Messemaeker" <jandemes at prom hyphen ade dot be> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl... |
| Documentation on Cost Rate Tables Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:34 PM PDT Others have answered your immediate question but adding my 2 cents, I'd suggest you be extremely cautious about trying to track revenues in MS Project. It's not an accounting or a time and billing application and attemtping to use it as such is likely to be highly misleading, potentially with disasterous results for your business. The costs it's tracking are intended to be an estimate of your costs of doing the actual project work and to monitor progress against that budget. What you bill your clients to do the project for them also needs to include other overheads, rents, costs of capital, depreciation, and profit margins - all factors that Project essentially doesn't even know exist. If you try to track revenues in the project through the use of custom fields, Project will post the cost of the task against your budget when the task is worked and will assume the revenues have been received as the work was performed, being paid instantly as the customer's obligation is accrued. This is obviously not realistic. Use Project for planning the schedule and estimating the project's costs - it does a great job of that - but don't try to get it to do double duty as a project accounting application as well. It just isn't the right tool for that job. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Skip Purdy" <postalias> wrote in message news:com... |
| Resource Allocation and how it works Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:21 PM PDT Hi, Allow me to bump in. When you set Resource Leveling to Manual, after having applied all improvements you can think of manually, you can still do leveling through "Level Now". That is the most used way to level.

| Posted: 27 Jul 2005 08:06 AM PDT I read that solution on other posts but I don't think that's my problem. I don't have any decimals in my duration field, only in the finish slack field. At one time I thought this was caused by split tasks but this time I don't have any split tasks. "John" wrote: |

How would project know their schedule unless you enter it into their calendar? you are asking Project to know specific things about your resources that you say you dont know. Project is not designed to schedule for you. It provides you the tools to schedule. You could edit the calendars of your resources to show that you are only available 6 hours a day or that your helper is only available X hours a day. This might also help. -- Brian K - Project MVP http://www.projectified.com -- Senior Trainer - Electronic Arts -- QuantumPM Associate http://www.quantumpm.com |
| Posted: 26 Jul 2005 10:00 PM PDT Thanks guys I've got my team to read this. It's making sense to them as well. I'll have to investigate levelling a little more. We're getting around the variations by only scheduling 1 month at a time. Our users priorities change too much to schedule more than that anyway. So when people look at us as a resource, they will only see the next months work. This might create problems in the long run, but it should work for now. Thanks again. |
| Posted: 26 Jul 2005 08:17 PM PDT Hi, Duration and cost are not custom fields. Duration is roolled up in a sence that duration on the summary line reflects the difference between start and finish (start of the ealiest task, end of the latest). Indeed, sometimes changi,ng the duration of a task influences duration of the summaryu task, sometimes it doesn't. Fixed Cost is NOT rolled up to the summary lines, but Total cos ("Cost") is.

| microsoft project 2000 custom critical path Posted: 26 Jul 2005 01:26 PM PDT I have taken this discussion to the Development Discussion Board becuase I think my problem may require VBA. The problem is that I don't want the CP calculated for EVERY endpoint in my schedule, only three specific ones. "Jim Spiller" wrote: |
