| What does "eday" stand for in MS Project 2003 Posted: 18 Nov 2005 06:16 PM PST Note that you can enter your task durations in edays as well. This is useful when you have tasks which do not obey working hours (things like waiting for concrete to cure are typical examples) -- -Jack ...

| Symbol for illustrating indented tasks was a + with a box around i Posted: 18 Nov 2005 09:55 AM PST Hi Robert, We need to discover whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does it occur with this project on other PCs? If you have no other PC, as it sounds like corruption within Project, try re-installing Project. Mike Glen MS Project MVP com wrote: |
| Tracking Tasks that can be Completed Out of Order Posted: 18 Nov 2005 08:15 AM PST You might remove the links and use the task priority setting in conjunction with resource leveling to set the order they will likely be worked on. Links should not be used to describe the order you *want* to work on tasks, they should describe the order you MUST work on the tasks because of something inherent in the process itself. When building a structure we link "erect walls" as a predecessor to "install roof" not because we usually do it that way but rather because the law of gravity says we cannot build the roof in midair and later stuff the walls in underneath it <grin>. Linking A->B says that A produces as its output something that is needed as an input for B and as a result B cannot start until A is done. If that's not true, remove the link and use something else to model the sequencing. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "tgr" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| How to make a backup of a master project Posted: 17 Nov 2005 01:07 PM PST Hi Tina, Thanks for your reply. I do not quite understand what you mean when saying you change the "high level label inside the master project" Thanks |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2005 12:59 PM PST I didn't know there was a microsoft.public.project.developer's group. I'll look there. Thanks for your help! |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2005 12:37 PM PST Thanks Jack. I checked the doentation and it seems relatively straightforward. One question I can't find: Can we load multiple projects in one pass (one project per line)? or is it just open an excel file that has one line of data, create the project, close that projects, then open the next line, create the project, close the project, etc.). With a thousand projects to create, that would be a time consuming job. Thanks. "JackD" wrote: |
| Filtering for only cross-project links Posted: 17 Nov 2005 12:15 PM PST Hi Andrew, Glad to know the formula worked and thanks for the feedback. Without seeing your project file, it is only a guess, but I assume the reason why you only need the first part of the formula in a master project is that if a task is an external successor to one task, it is also an external predecessor to another task in the project. Tasks actually entered into the master are internal -- all others (from the subproject files) are external. Hope this helps. Julie "Andrew K" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Set a start AND end date for a project? Posted: 16 Nov 2005 08:39 PM PST A project mathematically simply cannot have a fixed beginning date AND a fixed ending date. It may, indeed usually DOES, have a date by which it needs to end but that's not the same thing as the end date. That's the TARGET for the end date. The project end date itself is that date on which the last bit of work is done and the project deliverable is completed. That event may occur before, on, or after the target end date but it occurs whenever it occurs - Mother Nature and the laws of physics don't care whether you're on time or late, only the bossand the client cares about that <grin>. Project's job is to look at the physical work to be done and the way you deploy your assets to do it and predict when the physical end is likely to occur so you can create a workable plan that meets the boss's objectives. When you schedule from the start date forward, you input the date you will start work and the structure of the work itself, including your best estimate of the duration of each component task. Project then computes when the project would end IF you structured the work and assigned the resources the way you have proposed. If it meets or is better than your required target, great. If it's not, you don't just designate the date you want, you must actually revise the organization of the work and/or the assignment of the resources in order to materially change the computed schedule so that it finishes where it should. All of your 1200 tasks should lead up to a finish milestone. Every task in the project should be linked to a successor except for that one milestone - if there's no actual activity that is the successor to a given task, the finish milestone is its successor. You set a deadline on the finish that is the client's required date. After building your task list, linking them, and assigning resources to them, you compare the computed scheduled finish with the deadline for the finish and if necessary iteratively revise the plan until it's computed to finish on or before the deadline. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs <com> wrote in message news:googlegroups.com... |

What is a little more difficult to obtain in that view is the assignment (i.e. task) duration and % complete. That information CAN be added to the view using spare assignment fields.
