| What database table is Resource Group information in? Posted: 21 Dec 2005 11:26 AM PST Hi,
For some reason the Resource Group is saved as custom text in the
MSP_Text_Fields table. Resource Group text has a Text_Field_Id of 205520899

| How to display Task without resource name Posted: 20 Dec 2005 04:44 PM PST Perhaps you mean how to get the name of each Task and the Resources assigned
to each Task in a single field for each Task.
Good idea.
First solution is to use a formula in a spare Test field to concatenate the
contents of the Name and Resource fields.
Success with this will depend on whether the Data Type of the two fields can
be interpreted/pd as text and concatenated.
Yes, it works.
TOOLS, CUSTOMISE, FIELDS, TEXT1
[Name] & " " & [Resource Names]

| Multi-Part Question, probably 101-level Posted: 19 Dec 2005 09:21 AM PST Because when you update a task there is no benefit in having anything except
what actually happened. If the task finishes early and you set actuals of
saying that, Project shows it finishing early. That way succeeding tasks
start earlier as well.

| Start-to-Finish Posted: 19 Dec 2005 08:50 AM PST Adding to Dave's comment ... remember that in addition to the SF link
driving the timing of the successor there's also the constraint to finish
the task as soon as possible after the project start. The start of the
predecessor determines the earliest possible time the successor can finish
and the ASAP constraint prevents it from finishing later unless something
else such as a lag time gets into the picture.

PJH,
Only part of the referenced post relates to resources on summary lines.
Rod also talked about a potential problem with "normally assigned"
resources whose Remaining Work is > 0. Did you check that out?
If everything still looks ok, I'd be happy to take a look at your file
if you don't mind e-mailing it to me. If it has sensitive data, I can
send you a macro that will desensitize it or you can go to fellow MVP,
Jack Dahlgren's website at:

and use his macro called "scrub". If you do send it, make sure to zip it
first.

| Project Mgt softwre Comparison Posted: 19 Dec 2005 03:15 AM PST Hi,
I'm not going to compare to other packages but can answer about the
requirements.
MS Project (Std or Pro, only the price is different) can perfectly handle
multiple projects scheduling and resourceing.
Project Server is not necessary.
Hope this helps,

| levelling II Posted: 18 Dec 2005 03:16 PM PST Hi,
"Leveling was changing the duration of the tasks"
Are you sure this was leveling and not a change in work or units?
Leveling basicly shifts tasks as they are, doesn't change work, units nor
duration (be it that when the task is split the time between start and
finish changes)

The only thing you can do is what you wrote in your firsdt message, set the

But when it displays mo or Mon in the data they will be converted from/to

You're welcome. I don't generally recommend the use of Paste Links in

I do agree that manually formatting individual tasks can be tedious,

that will happen (e.g. file corruption, unexpected results, etc.) if
users apply individual formatting? If so, please share with the rest of

"scott_hanebutt" <microsoft.com> wrote in message

I'm not sure that the 24 calendar would actually be best there. My 3
resources are Joe Day, Bill Swing, and Fred Grave. I have task X to do that
will require 24 man-hours of work to complete. I have several options when
I assign the resource to the task, depending on the needs of my project. I
can assign one of those resources to it, I can assign 2 of them, or I can
assign all three. The 24-hour calendar assumes you will always assign all
three. With the Project calendar set to a normal generic workday for a
single resource, when I enter the task it will show up with timing as if one
resource was going to do it which is the normal level to take the work
breakdown to. That 24 man-hours task will take 3 workdays and the only
thing that changes with my choice of which resource to assign is the time it
starts on the first workday. If I need it done sooner I can add one or both
of the renmaining resources. If my Project Calendar is the normal day shift
calendar, Joe's base calendar is the same, Bill's is an added swing shift
base calendar and Fred's the night shift calendar, I get accurate scheduling
regardless of the way I choose to assign the workers.
Not sure about that example either but have to think on it a bit before
commenting.
