| Non-Standard calendars in a consolidated plan Posted: 02 Sep 2005 06:28 AM PDT Gerard, You're right. That was the first thing I looked at. The PM for the original project I noticed the problem with had updated the standard calendar so I asked him to re-name it. Unfortunately, it still had the same problem. I think the issue is because the individual tasks have a calendar of None and default to the project calendar. Therefore in the standalone, everything works as expected, but in the consolidated one, the dates are adjusted. Unless there is some setting I'm overlooking in the Project options.

| Published version in project web access Posted: 01 Sep 2005 10:13 PM PDT karthick -- The Published version of a project is the "working copy" of the project. Your Project Server administrator can set up the capability for you to save additional Versions. For example, in the sample database that ships with Project Server 2003, there is an alternate Version type called Target, that contains the original version of the project before work began on it. The Published version of any project is the only Version you can actually publish. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

In Project 2003 you can save 11 different baselines so you can have one for the initial plan and use some of the others to make week to week comparisons. -- -Jack ...

| How do I get filters to work in a custom macro in Project 2003? Posted: 01 Sep 2005 11:49 AM PDT The AutoFilter button will not work with VBA. You will need to create a custom filter to show the data you want, then use THAT filter in your VBA module. Sarah K |
| Sorting A-Z at theTask level - Can you do it, how ?? Posted: 01 Sep 2005 11:10 AM PDT Sailman, If you go into Project => Sort and then select Sort By and then select Name that should do what you are requesting. Be careful to note whether the "Permanently Renumber Tasks" is checked in the lower left hand corner of the dialog box. Good luck! --dwolf |

| Help define overflow tasks for me Posted: 01 Sep 2005 08:16 AM PDT Hi Pete, The overflow tasks on the printed copy of the Calendar view are just tasks that won't fit on the printed page. About 3-4 tasks per day is all that will fit. You may be able to squeeze a few more tasks on the printed page by modifying margins or changing the formatting of the bars to lines to Format>Bar Styles. Hope this helps.

| Filter with large number of criteria Posted: 01 Sep 2005 07:42 AM PDT If you can get the originator to send you the file, then you should be able to get them to tag a few tasks. If they won't do it, then tell them to send you the file, flag the tasks and send it back. Try harder. -- -Jack ...

I've never tried to use a conditional in conjunction with a link so I'm not real clear on how you are doing it but the bottom line is that time is always a part of any date - and it has to be - even in Excel. The difference you are experiencing is probably in the fact that Project dates are normally expressed as working time wherein a "day" starts at 8:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. In Excel days start at 12:00 midnight and run until 11:59 pm (i.e. 24 hour day). Depending on how the conditional is structured the time part of the date could be truncated (e.g. use the "Mid" function) or adjusted for compatibility (i.e. translate 8:00 to 12:00). Hope this helps. John Project MVP |

| Added Labor Day holiday to calendar and work is still showing as s Posted: 31 Aug 2005 07:47 AM PDT Is recalculate set to "automatlc?" (Tools, Options, Calculation) Which calendar did you post the holiday in and are you sure it's the one governing to tasks in question? Are you sure work is still scheduled on the holiday or is it just that the Gantt bars are crossing over it? ( If I have a task that starts on Thursday and ends the following Tuesday, its bar will cross the weekend even though there's no work taking place on Sat or Sun.) When you entered task durations, did you use elapsed time - ie, the duration is "2ed" instead of "2d"? Elapsed time ignores working time and non-working time distinctions. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Paul" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Posted: 30 Aug 2005 11:39 PM PDT Hi George, You're welcome for the reply. See if these additional thoughts help: When you sort the Who Does What report by Start, it sorts by the *resource* line - in other words when a resource begins their first task. (Look at the line with the resources name and see the Start for the resource.) If you look at the report sorted by date I agree, it would be nice to see the assignments (indented underneath the resource's names) from earliest start date to latest. The workaround that I use because of the problem with the Who Does What report is to create a new table (I call it the Who Does What table) based upon the Usage Table applied to the Resource Sheet. I add Assignment Units, Assignment Delay, Start, and Finish to the existing Usage table. I then drag the split far right to hide the timescaled portion of the Resource Usage view and print the view. It then shows data similar to the Who Does What report but the assignments are sorted correctly. As far as creating a non-project file with the data from the table, I export (File> Save As) to Excel and base the export on the Who Does What table adding the Assignment field to the export map. Once in Excel, the spreadsheet requires some formatting but using the Assignment column to filter for only assignments (field equals "Yes"), the formatting is quick. The export could be automated using VBA, but my VBA skills are not quite there yet ;-). The other option (as noted in FAQ #16 at www.mvps.org/project) is to print to a PDF file using an Adobe-like product. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

| Posted: 30 Aug 2005 10:52 PM PDT It depends on why your computer is down. If it's because the drive has failed, there may be no way to recover your files, at least not without calling upon a (usually expensive) data recovery service. If the drive is ok and you're getting the new disk just to get more storage room, installing the OS (assuming you have a CD for the proper version, not an upgrade version) is not a difficult task. If fact, you might not even need the installation CD as some drive manufacturers include utility software that can copy everything over to the new drive and make it bootable. Afterwards you can simply copy your data files over to the new disk. But all your programs will probably have to be reinstalled from scratch, not merely copied. Another alternative that I'd consider, but again it will only work if your original drive is okay, is to add your new disk as a second drive while leaving the first one in place. Assuming you have the drive bays to house them, most motherboard's hard-drive controllers will accomodate up to 4 physical drives. Copy your data files over to the new drive but leave the OS and your programs on the original as the boot drive. Just did that a few weeks ago on my own PC in fact. Couldn't resist the bargain sale price Best Buy had on 200 gig drives so I grabbed up one and added it to my computer in addition to its existing 500 gig RAID array just to use for audio/video project working storage. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Granny" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| MS Project Overallocated Resources Report Posted: 30 Aug 2005 12:59 PM PDT Hi Jerryinnc, Glad to hear the suggestion worked and thanks for the feedback. In the past I have used the "Using Project xx" books from Que publishers and found them to be pretty good. You may also want to check out Mike Glen's (Project MVP) site at: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMFrame.asp?CMD=ArticleSearch&AUTH=23 Good luck and post again if we can assist.

| Posted: 30 Aug 2005 11:57 AM PDT Hi Chris, In addition to Jack and Brian's suggestions you can change the default to all *new* tasks added to a project in Tools>Options, Schedule tab and change the default task type. If you change the option before adding tasks to the project file, all tasks will have the newly set default. Hope this helps. Julie "Chris" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| actual work showing up on dates in the future from the status date Posted: 30 Aug 2005 11:48 AM PDT As Jan said, Project doesn't know anything about the status date or current date when updating work on a task. I create a project with a start date of 30 Aug. I enter a task with 5 days duration and assign Fred to it. Now today, 6pm on 31 Aug, I enter that 24 hours of work has been done and set the remaining work is 8 hours. Project happily enters work as being done through tomorrow, 1 September, with 1 day remaining and it sets the task as being 75% complete. It doesn't know that as of the time of my updates 01 Sept is still in the future - I told it 24 hours of work has been done starting 30 Aug and that's what it recorded, it's up to me to insure I'm giving it accurate information. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "osucowboy" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
