Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Mark for the input.

Based on my research, I suggest you try to install the following hotfix to

PDF attachments being detected as Application/Octet-Stream instead of application/pdf

In article <usenet.com>,

They found, as was suggested, that the PDF definition was missing and
added it.

We've actually started to see a number of people using exchange that
have this broken, interesting, but it seems to have come from people
that were running Exchange 2000 previously and upgraded to 2003.

I know the Exchange 2007 can handle both "flavors" of OWA, and the intent is
to migrate everyone to the Exchange 2007 eventually, but due to budget
issues, we can't migrate everyone yet. I don't want to send (potentially)
all 4500 Exchange 2003 users through an Exchange 2007 system with only 160

With a lack of application leve l tion in Exchange 2003, you'll end
up relying on third party tion. tion can be host based or SAN
based. Many of the host based options have benn mentioned already. If
you're on a SAN, don't forget to talk with your vendor about SAN based
options as well. Either way, make sure you understand the MS support policy

<gwu.edu>: 

Linux does have a protocol -- an implied one.
Communications with the Linux kernel are done using a
callgate/trap mechanism; the mechanisms vary between
processors but Linux is clearly creating a protocol, at
least at the call/return level. For example, to open a
file one has to go through the callgate with the parameters
of filename, open mode, and creation mode. (Most app
developers use higher levels which eventually go through
libc's open() call.)

Depending on the callgate mechanism parameters are in
the registers or on the stack, and additional parameters
may be needed either in registers or on the stack; for
example, in Linux/x86 one has to pass a call identifier
(__NR_open, or the constant 5; these are defined in
/usr/src/linux/asm-i386/unistd.h and correlate with a
dispatch table deep in the kernel) in %EAX. The actual
callgate is INT 80H (or int $0x80 in gas syntax).

There are some issues in binary compatibility which I'd
have to look up but at one point Linux was able to run
old SCO Unix binaries.

Parts of this protocol have been standardized, at
the libc level; for example, POSIX.1-2001 specifies
what open() shall be required to do.

X also has a protocol; one big difference between Linux
and X is that X goes a little deeper, specifying the
actual packets. Since the Linux callgate doesn't bother
with packets to do the actual call, no one's gone to that
detail, although in the case of Linux one can specify
packets of variable size (because of pointers), if need be.

It is far from clear how one would infiltrate the Linux
protocol, though an alternate entrance is available,
namely network packet processing. At this point (AFAIK)
the only leveraging (FSVO) was to crash a running kernel
using the teardrop attack.

This Linux protocol can and has been leveraged; the most
obvious application was UML, which could be construed as
"a linux executable emulating a linux system running a
linux kernel". (QEMU and VmWare run at a lower level,
as I understand it. Note that UML also means "universal
modeling language", which can get a bit confusing.)

Okay. one SATA hard drive: sda. Why do you have your IDE DVD drive set
as a Slave? If you have no other IDE drives/devices, it should be a
Master, and, if it's a Master on the Primary IDE controller, it should be
hda.

Make the change, if it is the only IDE drive and edit its listing in

"Note that a resource's booking type applies to all their assignments in the

So may i know have any way can set the resource booking type like this.
example:
if i have a project has 3 task. and today date is 15/oct/2005
task 1 - 01/oct/2005 - 9/oct/2005 - resourceA (committed)
task 2 - 10/oct/2005 - 19/oct/2005 - resourceA (committed)

As Gerarrd said - but note, the Server is a Work resource, not a material
resource. I meantion that because some people think "material" means
"inanimate." But that's not true. Material resources are used up and
incorporated into the delieverable. Your server isn't - it is performing
work that contributes to the task's deliverable, just like a person, but it
isn't used up in the process.

Posted: 23 Nov 2005 07:08 AM PST

I don't know - whenever I see Project being used simply to draw pictures of
a pre-existing schedule I have to wonder why you've spent $1500 for a
product and then only use it to do what could be done just as well by
spending $10 for a wall calendar and box of Magic Markers. At the very
least I'd suggest using it as a reality check, using it to independently
generate a proper schedule in order to confirm whether your pre-existing
master schedule is truly workable, to identify where the potential
bottlenecks may lie in it, and where you might change it to be more
efficient. I think of Project's role as telling ME the best schedule I can
expect to HAVE, given what needs to be done and the assets I'm able to
deploy to achieve it, rather than me telling IT the schedule we're expecting
to work. When you doing the work, building a proper schedule where Project
is calculating the task dates rather than merely parotting the dates you've
input will let you dynamically monitor the downstream effects of actual work
as it's being done so you can keep your "troops" deployed most effectively.

Perfect Gerard!

I was actually using a text field, initially, and wondered how to utilize the rollup feature. I didn't think about trying a number field, but since you mentioned it, it makes perfect sense!

I'm going to take another step... not only will I show red, green, yellow based on completion and date. I will use a number or text field, where I can use it to override the automated settings for tasks that have plenty of time to finish, but have issues that won't allow it to complete on time. This will then show a yellow flag until I discontinue the override.

An example of this would be where if a task is "Install router". Eventhough the date may be a 2 months out and the router can be shipped in 3 weeks and the indicator shows green, If I know the rack can't be installed in time to install the router, I want the ability to force a yellow flag indicator for the task "Install router". Now I need to figure-out how to automagically change the flag to yellow on the "Install router" task, if I force a yellow flag on the predecessor task "Install rack".

I love MS Project! It never ceases to amaze me with it's abilities!!

Hello Glenn,
You don't say what kind of field you used to these Red, Yellow and Green symbols.
If you used a Number(x) field and if the Red color matches the greatest value, in the Customize Field dialog, for Summaries and groups, select Report : Maximum
Hope this helps, tell us if that work,

I've created a text field formula that allows me graphical indicators to show whether a task is on track.

How do I have the summary row show a specific indicator based on the subtasks below? Although I think I want it to show the worst indicator of the subtasks, I want the flexibility to change as necessary.

Example:

1 ysis (summary row - how do I show RED, based on the below?)
2 Interview Client (subtask - done ontime, GREEN)
3 Create ysis doent (subtask - not done, due yesterday, RED)
4 Review with Resources (subtask - due tomorrow, YELLOW)

Thanks in advance for any assistance
Glenn

Time Sheet Updates using specific hours per day

Posted: 22 Nov 2005 04:21 PM PST

hi,

you seem to have set a constraint on your task. A task starting on Oct 3
with 10 days duration should finish on Oct 14. Since you have the finish date
of Oct 19 you might have a constraint such as "Finish As Late As Possible",
etc.

When a task is first created, the percent complete is zero percent. As soon
as you enter actual duration, remaining duration, or actual work (which
affects actual duration), Project calculates percent complete as follows:

Percent Complete = (Actual Duration / Duration) * 100

If the % Complete field is set to a value greater than zero, the Actual
Start field is set to the scheduled start date if you have not yet entered an
actual start date. If the % Complete field is set to 100, the Actual Finish
field is set to the scheduled finish date.

If you type a value in the % Complete field, Project automatically
calculates actual duration and remaining duration. Likewise, entering a value
in the Actual Duration or Remaining Duration field automatically recalculates
the other fields.

You can control whether changes to total percent complete are distributed
through the status date or to the end of the task's actual duration so far.
On the Tools menu, click Options. On the Calculation tab, select or clear the
Edits to total task % complete will be spread to the status date check box.

When you enter percent complete, Project might adjust actual and remaining
work around the current status date. If you prefer, you can leave these
tracking fields in the project as originally scheduled, even if completed
work is shown in the future or remaining work is shown in the past. On the
Tools menu, click Options. On the Calculation tab, clear the Move end of
completed parts after status date back to status date and Move start of
remaining parts before status date forward to status date check boxes.

To set the status date to a date other than today's date, click Project
Information on the Project menu, and then enter the date in the Status date
box.

Regards,

I always caution people about having multiple tasks with the same name.
It can lead to a great deal of confusion, both in the Network Diagram
and in a sorted or filtered Gantt. It can be hard to tell with "Review
Drawings" you're looking at if there are several of them. If you ask on
here, someone will have a VBA macro that puts the appropriate summary
task name, if they're unique, into the task name. So your tasks would
be "Preparation Review Drawings" and "Final Review Drawings", etc. Can
save a lot of headaches down the road.
Hope this helps in your world.

Track Actual Hours without changing Start-Finish Date

Posted: 21 Nov 2005 04:37 PM PST

Are you tracking *duration* hours or *work* hours? They are very different
measures. Duration is time and there absolutely positively cannot be more
than 24 duration hours in a day, at least on this planet. Work, OTOH, is
actually "man-hours" and when two people work together for 24 hours, they do
a total of 48 man-hours of work.

Do you really have 24 hour workdays? That means that when a task begins it
doesn't stop until it's completed AND the resources assigned to it work on
it for the entire period of time. If a task lasts 72 hours, that means that
the crew that works on it doesn't rest, eat a meal, take a break or a nap,
or get any time off whatsoever for the entire continuous 3 days. It does
NOT mean that you have people coming and going with some guys working days,
others nights, etc. The 24 hour calendar says that if Joe is assigned
to that task, he joins the task when it starts and doesn't leave for any
reason until it's finished days later. Machines might do that but people
don't - they need at least to sleep and eat a little while out of each day.

large plots for resource useage

Posted: 21 Nov 2005 01:58 PM PST

Mike,
Thanks but that's not it. I can go boack without any other changes and
make the plot size 30" x 50" (without changing the columns) and it works.
There must be some undoented plot length for data !?
It's really weird, as the backgound plots out fine. The actual data just
gives a '#' and stops filling in the data. I think its a limitation by
number of columns or plot length. It would seem like it would stop plotting
everything instead of just the actual work data.....
If you think of anything let me know but this is no show stopper.

Thanks

Charts and Graphs

motor_mouth,
Oh sure, now the whole story comes out ;-)

The Resource Graph view in Project is by resource rather than by task
assignment so you are probably not going to get the information
directly. There are a couple of options. The option I would chose (and
have used on some of my projects) may be a little advanced because it
involves using a VBA macro to export the necessary data to Excel and
then plotting it in a manpower curve. However, an equivalent process can
be used without a custom VBA macro. Starting from the Task Usage view,
use the "yze timescale data in Excel" untility/add-in found on the
"ysis" toolbar (I would export the Work field). Once the data is in
Excel, use Excel's charting capability to develop the graph you want.

Just for reference you might want to consider using a rolling average
instead of exact monthly values when it comes to reviewing manpower
needs, (I used a 3 month rolling average), otherwise you will end up
with hiring/layoff spikes that don't reflect reality.

Hope this helps.

Deadline vs. Must Start On

Posted: 21 Nov 2005 11:34 AM PST

Tools menu, Customize, Fields - create a flag field with a formula that
tests for the condition you're monitoring and choose "graphical indicators"
in the dialog box as the results display.

I wonder at the logic of looking at start date with respect to a deadline.
Deadlines describe the required completion date for the task. Checking to
see if a task is started by 90 days before its deadline really only makes
sense if the task requires 90 days to do. The duration of a task is your
best-guess estimate of how long it will actually take to complete the task
once it starts. Comparing a start date with a deadline only gives you useful
information if the time frame you're looking at compares the start with the
deadline minus the duration and it will only be 90, 60, or 15 days if the
task duration also happens to be 90, 60, or 15 days respectively. What
counts is not that it starts 90 days ahead of deadline but rather that it
has started by whatever you have determined is the latest date it should
start so that it can finish by the deadline. Best practice suggests that
when a resource is assigned to a task they will be expected to start it on
the date you have scheduled it to start and work on it full-time until it
has finished. The duration of the task is not how long they are allowed to
finish it - it's your best estimate of how long you think it should take
them to finish it.

Microsoft Word - Independence of heading styles while leaving hierarchical numbering intact

Microsoft Word - Independence of heading styles while leaving hierarchical numbering intact

Independence of heading styles while leaving hierarchical numbering intact

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 02:30 PM PST

My Heading styles are hierarchically related in the numbering system, and Heading 2 (e.g. CHapter 4.7) is based on 1 (e.g. Chapter 4), Heading 3 (Chapter 4.7.5) on 2, etc

Because of this,any change made to Heading 1 will be inherited to Heading 2, etc. However, I wanted to change that, in order to make the styles independent from the point of view of font-related changes. So I chose, for HEading 2, "style based on = (no style)". However, more than making it independent from Heading 1, this also took Heading 2 out of the numbering system, such that now, titles who have Heading 2 applied to them are no longer numbered.

How can I make Heading 2 be independent from Heading 1 while keeping it in the numberning system?

THanks!

Setting defaults for the Insert Picture window

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 01:49 PM PST

when the Insert Picture window opens, it always defaults to

Can it be made to always open in

1) Details view, and

2) to a specific folder that I indicate?

Repeat picture formatting

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 01:39 PM PST

To repeat (copy) the formatting of a selection of text to another selection of text, the shortcuts Shift+Ctrl+C and Shift+Ctrl+V can be used, for copying and pasting the formatting respectively.

Is there anything similar to repeat the formatting of a picture inserted in a document, with everything that it entails, e.g. picture size, borders, alignment etc?

Word count fails when counting sections with Endnote citations

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 01:32 PM PST

For example if I select only a word followed by a citation in superscipt, like this:   approach9

automatic word count at the bottom of Word gives me exorbitantly large numbers: 295 OF 5310 WORDS

Hopefully though when I press on that to get details it gives me correct statistics (i.e. 1 word). Why is that?

In Word 2010, how can I get my Outline numbering to show both Level 2 and Level 3 with the same numbering but only one has a heading while the other does not?

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 12:52 PM PST

Nov. 30, 2014 - I could use a quick response to this Word 2010 question, if there is an answer - thanks!

I have a 39 page Word 2010 and my outline numbering holds fine.  However, when I get to page 36 of this 39 page document Level 2 Outline Numbering has no headings for Level 2 - starting with 27.1  Definitions.  I am wondering, since I am using 5 levels of numbering in total in this one document, if I can somehow move each of the numbering levels from level 3 down one level and somehow make Level 3 start at 27.1 so that when I get to page 36, this Level 3 numbering would kick in or be applied and show up as 27.1 but absolutely no headings, only paragraph text beside it instead?  I cannot seem to get it to work no matter how I try to make Level 3 numbering to look exactly like Level 2 numbering (i.e., both would look and work exactly the same but only one would have no headings whatsoever and that is Level 3? Has anyone ever tried this or something else that would work in this situation - thanks?

Set a table in the size of an A4 paper

Microsoft 2010

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 09:00 AM PST

I just bought a new computer and on my old one I had Word 2010. I cannot find how to transfer this word over to my new computer. I cannot find any free downloads. When I enter the product key on Microsoft's website it tells me that the key is not valid for word 2013. I do not want to pay another $100 when the 2010 version works just fine.

Is there anyway to get 2010 installed on my new PC?

hi dear experts I would like to get a macro for searching every single text contained in a cell (on a Ms word table) in the next right cell only, and replace it with £ character

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 08:45 AM PST

the find and replace process takes place only in the left cell on each row of a Ms table composed of two columns and N rows, then the next row the same search the text in the left cell in the next right cell and repace it with a character for example the pound £. in other words we copy the text in the first left cell and search it in the next right cell which is the last, and then we replace it, no more than this cell, then the same process for then down next row. 

many thanks in advance.
