Formula Question using Calendar

Posted: 30 Aug 2005 08:51 AM PDT

If you want calendar days, just use some simple math.

IIf([Finish]-[Current Date]>180,"More than 6 months",IIf([Finish]-[Current
Date]>90,"More than 3 months",IIf([Finish]-[Current Date]>0,"within 3
months","overdue")))

Only use the calendar if you want to calculate days according to Project's
calendars, otherwise it is simple subtraction. Note that order is important.
The statement will stop at the first condition that is satisfied.

Tracking Purchased Costs and Project Labor

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 07:47 PM PDT

Hi,

TASKS can have material resources and material resources can have per unit
costs.
You can have totals of labour costs PLUS material cost on tasks, roll them
up into summary tasks, etc.
BUT you cannot have material cost and labour cost separately.
HTH

(IMHO for AXAPTA you need about 50 times the learning effort than for
Project)

Revised Target (Finish) Dates

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 02:12 PM PDT

Adding on Jan De Messemaeker's suggestions, you may also:
1. Click on the Split Task button
2. Drag the unfinished part of the task to the resource return date

or

1. Select the task
2. Tools> Tacking> Update Project Plan
3. Select the second option (Replan uncompleted work so it starts) and
select the date when the resource returns
4. Select Selected Tasks and OK

Hope that help.

Import Dates and Duration from Excel

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 01:52 PM PDT

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have an excel sheet with 5 columns, task ID, task name, start date,
duration, and another text field. When i try to import the data into MS
project I go to the import wizard and merge data, I have the ID field as the
primary key. all the fields import OK into project except the start date and
duration. basically nothing changes on these 2 fields in MS project. for
example, if the start date for the task is 1/2/06 and i try to overwrite it
with 1/31/06 from excel, after the import is complete the date is still
1/2/06 (nothing changes). The task name comes across alright so does the text
field.

Text fields with <CR> <LF>

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 01:49 PM PDT

OK. It's just that I copy some text to Textn variables using VBA. If the
original text contains special characters such as <CR>, <LF>, <TAB> then I
get an error message.

I got round my problem by using the following line(s):

Str=replace(Str,vbCr,";")
Str=replace(Str,vbLf,";")
Str=replace(Str,vbTab,";")
Task1.Text6 = Str

It is a bit heavy but works. The special characters become ";"

Thanks again

Multiple milestone within a specific task

Posted: 27 Aug 2005 12:55 PM PDT

That would be several distinct tasks. I know you don't want to do it but
the work involved in development is quite different from the work done, for
example, in testing. A proper task breakdown takes it to the level of
detail where a signle task is one block of work done by one skill set
resulting in one deliverable. Milestones are also distinct tasks, the
"gates" that occur at the end of performance activities. So the proper
model in your situation is a minimum of a summary task with at least 6
sub-tasks indented under it. In the real world, each of the perofrmance
subtasks would probably be a summary in its own right with a number of
component activities detailed out indented underneath it. The rule of thumb
is that if the duration of a single task exceeds 80 hours you probably need
to break it down further. You need to get to the level that a single task
represents ONE thing done by ONE person or team working together. You've
called this a "software package" - at the very least each component part of
the package would be a separate task or series of tasks.

A: Software Package Development
1: Develop Software
2: Development Complete (milestone)
3: Test Software
4: Testing Complete (milestone)
5: Rewrite Software
6: Debug Complete (milestone)

Rod,

What about reports covering all locations? Is 1) the only one that can
accomplish this as all locations would be located in one file?

Also, what about using Project in its Enterprise mode? Several (remote)
people would need access to Project. Are there any limitations to 1), 2) or
3) when using Enterprise?

Customizing Calculations

Posted: 25 Aug 2005 01:18 PM PDT

If I understand your question I believe the solution is in how you enter the
type of change to get desired result. Remembering the formula D(uration) *
U(nit) = W(ork) you fix one variable, change a second variable (e.g. work)
and Project calculates the third variable.

In your case is sounds like you you want Fix Work, not Duration, (e.g.
prevent it from changing) change the Duration so the Project recalculates
Units for you.

Hope this helps.

Workflow Rules Priority

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 11:31 AM PDT

Ket,

Workflow rules can be "prioritized" by sequencing them in the workflow manager
screen. However, be aware that you will also need to add a check in the other
rule to not process "hot" records as both will actually fire.

In Workflow manager, I have use the "Set order" arrows on

Recover picklist numbers

Posted: 06 Apr 2005 08:20 PM PDT

Yes Brian, you can fix this.
Not using a table, but by modifying the xml output from Deployment Manager.
I guess you´re familiar with Deployment Manager, and know how to export and
import a customization file? If not, be very careful!

In the exported xml-file locate the section for your "picklist". Locate the
<options nextvalue="nn">, this value indicates the integer which will be used
for your next added item. Change this to the value you deleted, save the
file, and import the customization file again. Be sure to make a backup
before you modify, etc etc...

As you can see, you are able to modify your picklists in this file, but, be
careful, as it can make existing data inconsistent!

I have included a sample for a picklist below.

<field name="accountcategorycode" requiredlevel="na" defaultvalue="">
- <displaynames>
<displayname description="Customer rating" languagecode="1053" />
</displaynames>
- <options nextvalue="14">
- <option value="10">
- <labels>
<label description="A - Focused" languagecode="1053" />
</labels>
</option>
- <option value="11">
+ <labels>
<label description="B - Normal" languagecode="1053" />
</labels>
</option>
- <option value="12">

C'mon Dave.... "hundreds of thousands (probably millions)" ??? I find it hard
to believe that it would cost that much to build. If it did, you wouldn't be
charging $50-$150/user. ;-)

But I will give you this, I'm sure it would be cheaper to buy unless there was a
huge user count and/or you value the dev time very cheaply.

C'mon Chris,

Come join the Visionary family of happy VAST customers! First, if you
really consider $50-$150 per user to be expensive, please send an email
to me at dave-(no spam)com to discuss.(we do also have volume
licensing programs I'd be happy to discuss with you.)

Second, all of the Micrsoft people I've talked to (over a dozen at
Convergence, including Alex Simons, the Product Manager for CRM) said
that they have no plans to include audit tracking functionality. I
have the 2.0 Beta, and it definitely isn't there. so it is at a minimum
2007 before it would be there, and maybe not even then. Looking at it
from their point of view, if they can point customers who need auditing
at a Veritest approved ISV solution that costs a few thousand dolars
for the average customer, why should Microsoft spend hundreds of
thousands (probably millions) to build it? They have a lot of other
fish they need to fry for the next few years.

Third, VAST will help in you in more ways than just showing you the
last owner of a sales opportunity. If you are truly in such a
fast-paced environment, I'm sure opportunities disappear almost as fast
as they appear. Do your sales managers know why the monthly forecast
looks great until the last week, when all of the forecasts move out a
month? Do they know who is routinely over or under-estimating their
prospects? Who moves the fastest from Lead to Quote? From Quote to
Close?

Having this historical data that VAST provides, and making it available
for loading into a warehouse and doing some really business critical
analysis could easily pay for itself if you can improve your sales
processes by even a small amount.

As to time and effort, it takes me about 15 minutes to install it,
although it might take somebody up to an hour to do it the first time.
But after that, VAST has minimal IT impact. Even after you add a new
custom field, once you publish it, VAST will audit changes to that new
field without you doing anything else!

Not only that, but if you are a public company, then you really need
VAST so your upper level execs can personally certify that your
internal IT systems have the proper controls in place. Or, if you are
in the healthcare industry, you should consider VAST because of HIPAA;
in the financial industry, you have GLBA to worry about; and all
companies need to be sure they are meeting the standards of the Privacy
Act (if somebody from Florida tells you not to fax them, and you do,
your company could be sued for millions! It'd be nice to know who
reset the flag from 'no fax' to 'fax' in that instance, wouldn't it?)

So Chris, I urge you to take another look at VAST. I know we can make
your users happier, and your system more verifiable, at a very low cost
in terms of time/money/effort for you.

Please excuse the shameless self-promotion everybody, but I couldn't
let that one go by! ;-)

One thing that I did notice though, after going offline and then coming back

not go offline the first time I click go offline. However, the second time I
attempt to go offline it works. This also seems to create 2 new merge agents

FILE FORMATS HAVE CHANGED SINCE INSTALLING OFFICE 365 TRIAL

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 02:20 PM PDT

I installed the trial version of office 365 a few months ago, but cancelled it immediately as I no longer needed it. However, my original files - all under Word 2010 format - have been converted to the new office 365 format and I am not able to properly edit them. Furthermore, if I create a new file under Word 2010, it saves under this new office format. When I download word documents from emails etc, they open in the new format. The office 365 word documents all have a 'sign in' option, for example, in the top right corner. I was wondering how I can change all these back to my old Word 2010 format (which is still installed on my computer) because, having no longer got a subscription to office 365, it is causing very annoying problems with my file formats? I have tried deleting all programmes on my laptop which are entitled 'office 365', but no difference has been made.  I just want to go back to my old format!

How to fix the width of NBSP in Word 2013?

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Hello!

I have a problem with the NBSP command in the full justification mode. The NBSP generated in Word 2010 by the command ctrl+shift+space or by inserting as special character remains constant in the full justification mode (essential to link a numeric  value to a dimension, e.g. 5 cm, 5NBSPcm ). Which is the right command in Word 2013 to do this?  I can insert NBSP's in the running text with both commands and, yes, the words are linked and shifted together at the end of line, BUT in this version the distances between the words (or numbers) are not kept constant in the full justification mode. The expanse of the 1/4 squad space is not identical with the "space"  in the right justification mode, and therefore no option.

Please, help me (and excuse my bad english).

Thanks in advance

Two column Word 2013 document - edits to column 1 appear in column 2

I am working on a document in Word 2013.  This is a two column document.

I have added no section breaks to the page - just text.  Is there any way to correct this?  This text seems to be randomly dropped at the top of column 2. 

Paragraphs above the new paragraph are in the correct column.  Paragraph below the new paragraph are in the right column.  One half of the new paragraph is in column 1 (where it should be).  When I try to text in the new paragraph it appears at the top of column 2. 

Does not appear to be any visible breaks or editing symbols.

Is there any guidance available on trouble shooting corrupt Word 2013 documents?

Creating Custom /Replaceable fields in a template

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 10:40 AM PDT

It seems hard to believe that I cannot find a succinct answer to this, given I think it must be a fundamental capability of MS Word.  Here is the deal:

  • Trying to create a standard template (dotx) file in MS Word 2013
  • This is a boilerplate document, within which I want to be able to easily set up some sort of property field to replace various replaceable items within the document each time I create it.  For example, have a field in a contract document called "PARTY1" and another called "PARTY2".  This field may occur many times in the document.
  • When I create a document using this template, then I want to be able to replace the value of this field, one time, and see it now occur throughout the document, wherever I have used these fields.

I have tried using Insert > Quick Parts > Field.... but I am unable to (seeming) create a new fieldname (trying to create in Document Information) and have it stick.

Could someone give me the click by click steps?  I have posted this elsewhere, and folks say "Use Insert > Quickparts" but no more information than that.  

Thx in advance for any help or pointers....

Word opens in read-only mode.

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 07:18 AM PDT

I recently installed Office 2013. However, in word I use "Word 1997-03 Document (*.doc)" because the site I publish to does not accept the newer format (.docx). From time to time, one of the documents I am working on opens in read-only mode and the only way to save the changes I make to it is to save it under another name. Once this happens to a document, it keeps happening again over and over. Sometimes, clicking on the folder properties the document is saved in and making sure the read-only option is unselected works, but sometimes not. When that does not work, each time I open the document, it is read-only and even if I save it under another name, the next time I open it, it is again read only. Basically, the only way to edit the document is to rename each time I work on it. I contacted Microsoft Support and they tried to charge me $150 to fix this. Can anyone please help me?

Microsoft Office 2013 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) Crashes on start-up/when opening a document/when saving a document

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT

It's been installed and worked fine for about 10 months, but last weekend Microsoft Word 2013 starting crashing as soon as I tried to open a document. A notification came up about some add-in not working on opening (it seemed a Microsoft-own add-in, if such a thing is possible?), but I foolishly didn't write down the details and the error message hasn't returned since. Microsoft Word now crashes even on opening. Before it reached that stage, I disabled the add-ins I could and saw no improvement. 

Microsoft Excel also crashes whenever I try to save a document (it's fine opening them, just can't do anything more).

Microsoft Powerpoint crashes when I try to open a document.

OneNote seems unaffected.

I haven't uninstalled/re-installed the software because I can't currently find my product key.

Any suggestions on how I could solve the problem? Thanks!

Sorry, Something wrong with you Word

Hello There,

I am facing the same issues, unfortunately, I don't remember the Office Key- but the original is installed on the System- is there a way to note the Office Suite License Key? If I have to re-install.

Also the same problem is with Excel and other Office products.

Kindly advice.

Thanks,

Chetan

Page Numbers go from being useable to Grayed Out

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 04:33 PM PDT

Hi there, I am using Office 365 and running Windows 8.1.

I am using Word to complete uni assignments. When I start a document for the first time the option of inserting page numbers is there. I use it, save it. But when I reopen the document that saving has dropped off and then the page number tab is grayed out and not useable. I have searched on these forums for solutions but nothing seems to be working. I have gone through the steps here. But so far nothing. I have even uninstalled/fixed then reinstalled the programme.

I have also tried the QUICK PARTS then FIELD option, but then it puts the page number in the top left of the page, for my uni standards the page number needs to be in the bottom right. 

I think I have got a quick fix, but would really like something that works properly.

Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Tracy.

They will have to open the PF contacts folder in OWA and copy the address &
paste it into a new message. OWA won't do lookups to anything other than the
GAL and the user's individual mailbox contacts.
 

Well, if they're connecting to a mailbox on an Exchange server that has the
IMF and other filtering applied, their mailbox is already protected by it,
so to speak. They can't use the Outlook junk e-mail filter the same way they
could if they were using Outlook in cached mode, though. That isn't really
an Exchange issue.

 

Probably because of SSL. This isn't unusual AFAIK.

Exchange 2000 schema not updated, unable to run adprep

Posted: 04 Apr 2007 08:18 AM PDT

Hi
at the moment your AD is clean.
but you have installed Exchange 2000 that causes the miss-defined attributes.
With the Windows 2003 schema update Microsoft has corrected the definition
of the attributes. While a deletion of attributes in the schema is not
allowed they will be renamed. Thats what the ldf import is doing.
at the following link you can find a very good description (step by step) of
what you should do beginning with "Scenario 2: Exchange 2000 schema changes
will be installed before the Windows Server 2003 adprep /forestprep command".

I hope this will help to answer your questions.

Sending internal mail to external pop account instead

Posted: 03 Apr 2007 12:34 PM PDT

Dan,

If I understand your question correctly, you could set up the external
user as a mail-enabled contact in Active Directory using his/her
external address as the default SMTP address in his email addresses
settings. You can then also assign the contact an internal address
(RUS will more than likely do that automatically). This way, the user
will appear in the GAL and all messages will be forwarded to their POP
account.

Forwarding Email with Exchange

Posted: 02 Apr 2007 06:30 PM PDT

Your system is configured to send all mail for a particular mailbox to an
external mailbox. What happens when that external mailbox is full, for
example? It could reject the message and send an NDR to your mailbox, which
is then forwarded on again to the external mailox. Rinse and repeat. :)

Exchange has plenty of options and features that may or may not be
appropriate for you. This is just something to watch for, that's all.

In theory, there is a performance hit by having separate partitions
because everything can be dumped around one physical range of cylinders
on a single partition, while the heads would have further to travel to
reach the partition that has what you are reading/writing to. How
important this might be depends solely on your system usage, and what
you've got stashed on the disk.

There is major benefit to having /home on a separate partition. Most
people never back up (or even have the capability to back up) their disks
and when they install a new distribution - /home is toast if it's on the
same partition as the rest of the stuff. Here are two mini-howtos that
should be on your system that discuss this and other concepts. The first
is a bit dated.

Like Hector, I'm not using GRUB, but that's also got to be changed to
point to the new locations, etc. FREE CLUE: Make sure you have a
rescue capability - either a bootable CD (such as the rescue CD that
comes with some distributions) or bootable floppy. "Bad stuff happens."

How to install a Linux Kernel Source in Fedora Core 6?

Posted: 01 Nov 2006 06:50 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup com <com>: 

[ top posting fixed ]
 
[..]
 

Why would you?

From the package description:

Summary : Development package for building kernel modules to
match the kernel.

Description : This package provides kernel headers and makefiles
sufficient to build modules against the kernel package.

It contains what you asked for, needed kernel headers/makefiles
to enable to build kernel modules, which is what you asked for.

Unsure why you would expect something on the boot screen?

Try 'rpm -qil <package-name>' to get information and a list of
files, then go ahead and try building your modules, it should
pick up the needed headers. You installed it with 'rpm -i ...'
already.

Good luck

XP and Ubuntu bootloader issue

Posted: 31 Oct 2006 04:58 PM PST

On Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:58:41 -0800, Andrew wrote:
 

Personally, I think you're confused about a few things, so starting at the
basics;

You have two hard drives, sda, and sdb. If each drive has a single
partition, the partitions will be sda1, and sdb1. Windows will happily
install to a single primary partition, as it uses a swap file for memory
swapping. Linux can do that too, but it is more common to have a swap
partition in addition to the / partition. The swap partition can be either
before, or after, the / partition. It helps to know the actual layout of
your disks. From a Ubuntu terminal, the command "sudo fdisk -l" (lower
case L) without the quotes, will show all the disk partitions.

Grub normally installs in the MBR, by default, but it is possible to
install it on any partition, if your plan is to chain-load from another
boot loader. This is not the usual case with someone new to Linux, so
until instructed otherwise, I'll assume that grub is actually installed in
the MBR of sda. With Windows on sdb1, and with the BIOS set to boot from
sda, you say you can boot Ubuntu, so do that.

As root, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst, by adding the following;

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

This should give you a choice, in your grub start-up menu, between Ubuntu
and Windows. Most likely, there is already an entry at the top of your
menu.lst setting the default to Ubuntu, in the following form;

default 0
timeout 15

The above sets the default to the first entry that starts with "title",
and boots that entry after 15 seconds, if another selection is not made.
It is common to have more than one entry for each Linux installation with
titles like failsafe, or nofb, so if you wanted to set Windows as the
default, and it was the fourth entry, you would set the default to 3.
(grub always counts from 0)

If the above does not work, come back and tell us what the actual results
were.
