| Posted: 06 Feb 2006 01:28 PM PST The REsource Usage view has an option to display a row of remaining allocation, that is the difference between what they are allocated and what their maximum allocation is. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "ellebelle" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

To answer your question, set the Booking value for each resource to Proposed in the Enterprise Resource Pool. This makes Proposed the default value for every assignment. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

| Creating summer/Winter Calendar Posted: 05 Feb 2006 06:09 AM PST You're welcome, Rami :-) Why not tell Microsoft yourself? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010857951033.aspx, and suggest new content. Mike Glen MS Project MVP Rami wrote: |
| Calculate difference between dates Posted: 04 Feb 2006 06:42 PM PST Oh yes, I'm well aware of that - was just commenting that it comes as a surprise to a lot of users who don't realize Project has a database under its hood. One of the differences between the Project db and an Access db is Access uses a floating-point Julian number (I tell my classes it's the same things as a Stardate except Access uses 1/1/1900 as day zero while the Enterprise uses the date of first contact with the Vulcans LOL) to represent date/time while Project uses an integer count of 0.1 minute "ticks." -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "David M C" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

I'd go for it. John Project MVP |
| Event Scheduling deadline date Posted: 04 Feb 2006 04:27 AM PST Hi Yani, Another possibnility is that you are scheduelling from the finish. Check Project/Project Information.../Schedule from: Project Start Date. Mike Glen Project MVP Steve House [Project MVP] wrote: |

| Filtering Tasks in Resource Usage View (Report) Posted: 03 Feb 2006 11:39 AM PST Ahh...start with the problem, eh? Fair enough. First, thanks for your overview of the various types of data found in Project. I'd have to agree with your observation on Project "driving users nuts." This forum helps. Here is what I am trying to do: I need to create a report that lists, for each resource, the tasks to which he or she is assigned. The tasks should be limited, in my case to those tasks that are currently active or scheduled to start within the next two weeks. Seems like it should be reasonably straight forward, but apparently it is not. -- Regards, Dann "John" wrote: |
| Can you "freeze" the name column while scrolling across a sheet? Posted: 03 Feb 2006 10:29 AM PST Hi Kim, Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :) View/Table:()/More Tables..., select the Entry Table and Edit... In the dialog, move the Name field to the top line (use Cut and Paste rows). Make sure the box marked "Lock First Column" is ticked. You will lose the indenting, though. You could just add the Name field to the top row leaving the old one in tact. 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 KimC wrote: |
| Posted: 03 Feb 2006 10:23 AM PST Great article! and i made sure to rate it! ;) but i'm wondering if there is a different way? so that i can just get the top level summary and not link the details? The reason that i would want this is so that i can have a complete list of projects that i have to create, projects that are going on, etc. Just linking to those projects from insert/project makes the file size of the master list become big!! if i have 10 projects that i want to keep tabs on that are going on in the product it becomes a big file! thoughts?

| How do I set up budgets of hours? Posted: 03 Feb 2006 08:07 AM PST I'm sure there are some off the shelf programs that would work. I don't thimk Projects would fill your needs. It sounds like you need a cost & time tracking program in one package. Good Luck. "Nick S" wrote: |

| Changes to the consolidated plan Posted: 03 Feb 2006 04:29 AM PST Hi, Within the constraints you quote, I can't imagine how this would come by (if he changed tasks) If he changes resources (especially working time) and these are picked up by the pool there can be an interaction. Bit that is through a pool not through a master.

| automate indentation based on code Posted: 03 Feb 2006 03:43 AM PST Hi John Thanks, have organised the project using the outline level. The project is actually grouped by Functional Area, Deliverable and then Meeting now that I've reorganised it. These come from the custom outline codes that were used by the previous scheduler. We are in Planning phase, so, much of the work is focused internally within the functional areas (I imagine this will change closer we get to the event). The 'Deliverables' are defined scope of work that have been assigned to each functional area. A couple of the Functional areas have an addditional WBS level called 'Meeting'. There ARE issues with this WBS grouping because I'm finding that it encourages the Functional Areas to only focus on their tasks without any view of the impact from other areas. Do you have any suggestions for how to overcome this? "John" wrote: |

| Displaying dependencies for a workshop Posted: 01 Feb 2006 08:11 PM PST As an aside, be careful in presenting this material to the group that you keep them fixed on just what dependencies represent. The predecessor/successor links are not there to create a particular desired time structure nor are they to prioritize tasks into the order that it is desired they be done. Links describe a physical dependency between the tasks involve that mandate a certain timeing - if the project is viewed as a process, the links describe the flow of material and information through the process. We don't have "erect walls" a predecessor to "install roof" becausse the framing people are available in June while the roofers are available in August. "Erect walls" is the predecessor because gravity doesn't allow us the option of hanging the roof in mid-air and stuffing the walls in under it later on <grin>. Sometime newcomers like you're working with reason "let's do this first and then we can do that" without considering what makes it a necessity to do it in that order. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "inay" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| How do I set up a collage in Microsoft Office Picture Manager? Posted: 01 Feb 2006 02:58 PM PST Hi, Eloyd, For making a collage, Photo Collage Studio is a good one. You can add photo frames and special mask effect, or Cliparts and Wordarts. And each masterpiece can printed over and over again. http://www.photo-collage-software.com Best Regards. |
