Sorry the fix didn't work :-( I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions for you but perhaps some other reader has a trick or two up his or her sleeve.

| Disadvantages of assigning multiple resources to tasks in MSP? Posted: 28 Sep 2005 06:31 AM PDT Hi Emma, There is no (major) problem with aving multiple resopurces on a task as long as all users remember that Project nearly always handles those multiple assignments (a resource on a task = an assignment) as if they were independent tasks: for instance, one resouce has a day off, the other one happily continues to work; Change the work of one assignment it will not affect the other opne (and then indeed both assignments will have different durations... Everything quite logical, but sometimes so surprising that I keep on recommending to use one assignment per task as long as utterly possible.

| MS Project: Buffer time... How to? Posted: 28 Sep 2005 03:43 AM PDT Hi Woman in white, Well, the only way to add buffer time (in the TOC sense of the word) is to CHANGE THE END DATE of the project (f.i. by adding a Must Finish on Milestone) You can then see the buffer by task by inserting the Total Slack column. -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional http://users.online.be/prom-ade/ +32-495-300 620 "WomanInWhite" <com> schreef in bericht news:googlegroups.com... |
| Identifying linked-to Ghost tasks Posted: 28 Sep 2005 02:33 AM PDT Hi DonL, Yes, I thought of that. However, I assumed Martin was looking for a method of identifying tasks in the current project with external predecessors and/or external successors, from his comment "linked-to"ghost" tasks". The [External] field will show "yes" if a specific task is external but will not flag if the predecessor or successor is external. Of course, it is possible that my mind is just on a holiday :-) Julie "DonL" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Modeling task-based revenue instead of resource-based cost Posted: 27 Sep 2005 12:39 PM PDT Hello I should have prefaced this with more about our business, but in a service business revenue is definitely based on completing tasks. When we sign a new client, we craft a project plan to match the scope and estimate the hours necessary to achieve that scope. We can then bill and/or recognize revenue based on hours completed and/or percent complete on a monthly basis. So our revenue is directly and solely connected to a task's hours. Each client could have a different rate, depending on the value of their contract and the hours in the plan, so I can't say that Sally's rate is a flate $150 (like in a lawyer example) because in one project it may be $150 but in another it could be $300. And that rate is based on the project, regardless of who completes an hour of work. No worries on the overlay of cost info - we're not calculating cost in any other manner or use, so it's fine. I realize it's a bit heretical but it works! Thanks for the help and insight. "John" wrote: |
| Replacement for MS Project: Projity is in beta testing Posted: 27 Sep 2005 12:14 PM PDT Hi, I think this sucks, yes. I wouldn't use the space paid for by Microsoft to attack their products and make publicity for mine. In my feeling, this is theft and it should be considered a criminal act. Have the honesty to pay for your own publicity, please. -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional http://users.online.be/prom-ade/ +32-495-300 620 <com> schreef in bericht news:googlegroups.com... |
| how to change the font of all Task Notes in MS Project Posted: 27 Sep 2005 03:31 AM PDT Hi Ian, So sorry. In further testing (with some much more obvious changes to font formatting) you are correct. The only way I seem to be able to carry the formatting to the printed notes page seems by changing the font in the Task Information dialog box. I am sorry to lead you on a wild chase :-( Julie "Ian" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Posted: 27 Sep 2005 02:53 AM PDT THX Jan, but... it's not working as I want to (I tried it before my first post). What I want to do in fact is the following, eg.: - you have 1 task - T1 - for the entire day (meaning 8 hrs); - another task - T2 (2hrs) - shows up as very urgent and now I have to add this task in my .mpp; - first I had my task for 8hrs during the day and now I have T1 for 4hrs, then T2 for 2hrs, again T1 for 4hrs. What I want to be shown automatically when I enter T2 in my plan is something like that (sorry for my pathetic try of replacing graphics with letters :) ): T1 xxxx...xxxx T2 xx It's easy for me as a guy that plays a lot with project plans to do it, but I don't want to put another task on my programmers to learn to work with MPP. THX a lot |
| How to convert a Project 2003 task into an Outlook task Posted: 27 Sep 2005 12:53 AM PDT Project 2000 used to have a workgroup feature which allowed you to do exactly what you are looking for. Unfortunately MS has decided to discontinue to support for that feature so you go out and buy Project Server. You can still download and install the Workgroup feature here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6382c615-1090-452c-8eba-4025b8976c18&displaylang=en "Penelope" wrote: |

| Auto WBS numbering "skips" linked-to tasks Posted: 26 Sep 2005 09:04 AM PDT That seems to work. As you say, bit of a pain to do, as I have quite a few links in my schedule. I guess it's something I'm going to have to live with, but at least I have your suggestion as a fallback position! Cheers Martin "DonL" wrote: |

In two custom text fields, use the following formulas: Text1 = cstr(timevalue([start])) and Text2 = cstr(timevalue([finish]) Hope this helps. John Project MVP |

| Is Project the App for my needs / template for my need Posted: 24 Sep 2005 03:05 AM PDT Hi Lars, Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :) I don't think Project is for you. It is a project management scheduling package. By definition, a project has a clearly defined start and finish, and you have to enter tasks and assign resources before yu can see a resouce schedule. I don't know of any other project management packa ge that will do what you're afer. Maybe someone else knows. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :) Mike Glen MS Project MVP Lars Andersen wrote: |
