| Project File Size using MS Project 2000 Posted: 01 Mar 2006 06:22 AM PST In article <googlegroups.com>, "textron.com" <textron.com> wrote: breppucc, You're right, for a Project file with 2000 lines, several megabytes is definitely bloated. You said the methods in FAQ 43 don't work for you. Does that mean you are unable to save as a .mpd and re-open as .mpp or simply that doing so has no noticeable effect on the file size? You said you convert the file every week for your customer. The word "convert" bothers me. Are you really converting the file or simply doing a "Save As" to a .csv? If it's the latter then I see no problem but if you are actually converting and re-opening the file between .mpp and ..csv, I'd say that is an process that is ripe for causing corruption. The fact that you get a Winproj.exe error tells me there might be a problem with Project itself. Before the IT folks show up I'd try running Detect and Repair found under the Project menu. However you need the installation CD to run that repair and if the IT folks are the only people who have the CD then you have to wait for them anyway. It sounds like the calendar and link issues are related to .csv conversion. I'd dispense with all the converting, get the file squared away and then re-configure the calendar and links as necessary. Then just work with the file as a standard .mpp. Use a "save as" for the customer's .csv but keep that conversion one-way. John Project MVP |
| import from outlook to project Posted: 01 Mar 2006 06:11 AM PST It is pretty easy using VBA code. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1165 There you will find two macros I wrote. They sort of do the opposite of what you are trying to do - one of them exports your Project tasks to Outlook tasks, the other retrieves status information from Outlook and updates your Project file. If you are familiar with VBA, you should be able to use the code in these two macros to create one that does what you want. Email me if you have any questions.

| Help! all project tasks are starting on the same day- Posted: 01 Mar 2006 06:11 AM PST One more thing, Go to Tools>Options>Calculation and turn the calculation to Automatic. As you make logic ties the task will move in time. It might be helpful to add the Task Form on the view. Right moust click in the graphic area and click on Split. The task form will pop up. Now right mouse click in the task form area and then click on one of the options. Good Luck. "Kathleen" wrote: |

| Can't Restore Outline Structure Posted: 28 Feb 2006 10:06 PM PST Jan, Apparently MSP has a problem with a projector, which is what caused the problem. I was connected to a computer projector when I booted up. When I made the switch to the screen, the problem occurred. Solution: disconnect everything and reboot, THEN connect the projector to the computer, THEN make the screen switch if necessary. TomCat "Jan De Messemaeker" wrote: |

| Breakup Projects in Master File Posted: 28 Feb 2006 03:41 PM PST In article <com>, "annbklyn" <microsoft.com> wrote: Ann, Well, I think your issue is different from Hadi's. Hadi needs to break up a master file, it sounds like you need to create one. It also looks like DavidC has provided a couple of viable approaches. If you have further questions, please let us know.

| Tracking costs by percent complete does not work!! Posted: 28 Feb 2006 03:33 PM PST In article <googlegroups.com>, com wrote: eganders, I have to apologize for my opening comment in my original reply. After I wrote it and hit send, I realized that it wasn't very professional. I'm sorry. But something you mentioned above really caught me off guard. You mean 9 women can NOT do a baby in 1 month? Wow, I need to rethink my whole view of family planning ;-) One way to work around the case of material cost "polluting" the total cost is to create separate task lines for labor and material. The total cost value at the top level will of course include all cost types, but at least at the task level, labor is isolated, and its also possible to use the Grouping feature to sum costs up separately. The reason 100% complete gives 100% value is because 100% in the % Complete field guarantees the % Work Complete field is also 100%. That same relationship may or may not hold for values less than 100%. If a resource is assigned at 100% for the full time the task spans the the two % complete fields will track one for one. For example let's say a task is 40 hours duration and Joe is assigned to work it at 100%. The Work field then also becomes 40 hours and 50% entered into the % Complete field or the % Work Complete field will yield a value of 50% in the Cost field for that task, assuming the task has labor only. Hopefully this clarifies it further. John Project MVP |
| How do I unhide the 'Task Name' column in Project 2003 ? Posted: 28 Feb 2006 02:19 PM PST Maybe, Trevor, but it certainly isn't the first time it's been asked :) Mike Glen Project MVP Trevor Rabey wrote: |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2006 01:41 PM PST Hi I need to produce a weekly/monthly report by Client, project and resources allocated to the project of the Client. What's the best reporting format i can use in the Report Tool? Do i have to customized? Currently my project plan is in this hierarchy: 2006 Scope of Work-1st level Audi (Client) - 2nd level Project 1- 3rd level Project 2- 3rd level Project 3- 3rd level Time Warner (Client) - 2nd level Project 1- 3rd level Project 2- 3rd level Project 3- 3rd level I will assign resources for each project and resources are shared. How can i report on this for the Client to see how each project is doing and how many hrs the resources are working for each project. Help! THanks, Ann -- Thanks! "Jermyca" wrote: |

| WBS elements - I recall they are never to be below 40 hours???? Posted: 28 Feb 2006 11:11 AM PST Hi, I doubt this is ever published as a guidance. It may be true in most projects but some projects (like moving and reinstalling a server room) sometime must be done within 48 hours - with tasks averaging 1 hour.
