| Posted: 19 Jan 2006 03:15 PM PST Nick, Do you get this problem even with new plans that you create? Also, is it possible that on these plans, tasks and resources were deleted from the resource sheet after baselining. Sharat |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2006 01:21 PM PST Hi Mike, I created a copy of the 'Summary tasks' filter, changed it to 'Summary = No', but the Summary task didn't disappear. I didn't try it in the Gantt, only in the Network Diagram view. I find the display of summary tasks in the Network Diagram view very poor. Best would be a line around the subtasks, but to show a summary as just another task is less than helpful, to my way of thinking. Look forward to trying any more ideas. "Mike Glen" wrote: |
| Exporting Calendar View & linking Excel Data to project Table Posted: 19 Jan 2006 07:36 AM PST In article <com>, "Hobbit62" <microsoft.com> wrote: Jordan (the Hobbit), I understand your concept about a product schedule and calendar. However it seems you are trying to use Project to track everyday "work maintenance" activities with Project and I think that's either overkill or hedging on micromanagement. We all, walk the dog, read e-mail, go to meetings, etc. and for very busy people it may be helpful to track those activities with a appointment book, PDA, or other daily scheduling aid. However trying to put those type of daily activities into a Project schedule is in my opinion unwise and unnecessary. Project is a scheduling/planning application best suited for developing and tracking major defined (i.e. bounded) projects. When assigning resources to work on tasks in a Project plan a project manager knows that 100% utilization of those resources does NOT account for 100% of their waking hours - and it shouldn't. The rule of thumb we used for employee utilization was something like 80%. The 20% accounts for vacation, sick days, and general inefficiency associated with being a human being. If the feeling is that this 20% (or whatever) inefficiency is a serious impact on the project plan, then I suggest the project plan probably was developed with too much optimism. To address your basic question, there may be some other methods for capturing the Calendar view but I don't have any more suggestions. Personally I've never had any use for the Calendar view. What I do suggest though is that you consider using a more appropriate means of tracking daily activities. Perhaps Outlook would be a good option. Of course all of this is just my take on your issue. Maybe someone else has a suggestion or two. John Project MVP |
| How to insert text into Task Bar Posted: 19 Jan 2006 06:12 AM PST Thanks "The value is not valid in this situation" this appeares with several tries with different values. I just need to enter 80 x 20' DC in the middle of the Bar. Thanks Kalevi "davegb" <com> kirjoitti viestissä:googlegroups.com... Kalevi wrote: What error message?

| Master Project with only 'read' access Posted: 19 Jan 2006 01:56 AM PST Thank u very much John, I was very happy to try the suggested solutions. Your help came in time. Both the options are fantastic & working. Help in need ... We can save the file as read only with write protection password, still you can open sub-projects w/o password. Thanks once again. -- 3326ubb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3326ubb's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=12502 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=442919 Free Computer Help - http://forums.techarena.in |

| Posted: 18 Jan 2006 07:48 PM PST Yes! Now that I've been told about this "feature" think of it like this: I'm in the kitchen and must turn on the kitchen lights before I go into the dinning room. BECAUSE if the kitchen lights are off... then the dinning room lights are off and can't be turned on until I return to the kitchen to turn on the kitchen light. You see, The light switch is dissabled in the dinning room. (The view does not have the summary tasks shown and thus the "show all subtasks" button is dissabled.) After all those years of having my mother tell me to turn off the lights before I leave the room, it's hard to remember to turn on the lights in the kitchen or I won't be able to turn on the lights in the dinning room once I get there. I think this is at least an annoyance if not a bug. "John" <com> wrote in message news:microsoft.com... |
| using up part-time resource's availability in one task? Posted: 18 Jan 2006 01:52 PM PST No problem. For the record, the levelling outcome would be the same regardless of the task type. MS Project runs algorithms to determine which tasks to delay based on overallocations. It may split a task, if you set the option to allow it...but it won't change the units that are assigned (as part of an attempt to optimize the schedule). If you set the levelling option to check at the hour by hour level, you should receive an informational error that it couldn't resolve the overallocation, but it won't delay the task because of it, as this would just move the overallocation and not resolve it.

| put tasks in outlook without server Posted: 18 Jan 2006 09:49 AM PST Hi, Cheryl! Go to Tools, Macro, Macros, then type in OutlookLink and click Create. The VB Editor will come up, with the first and last lines already inserted for you. Click Tools, References, and check Microsoft Outlook Object Library (your version number will be in there). Once it is checked, click OK. Then copy and paste the original macro code (without the Sub and End Sub lines in between those lines in the VB Editor. Now save, and you're done. Just click the Run button (looks like a right arrow) to run it. In the future you can run it from Project by going to Tools, Macro, macros, selecting it from the list, and click Run. Write me directly if you have any problems or questions. I hope it works for you. Regards, Rick Williams net "CherylDetrick" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Assigning Resources to part of a task Posted: 18 Jan 2006 05:30 AM PST Thanks for your reply John. Unfortunately it's not that uniform. Any resource may be required for any length of time on any particular task. I think the only way is to manually put the hrs in via the Work View for each resource. Thanks again -- Robin "John M." wrote: |
