| Posted: 10 Mar 2006 09:55 AM PST This suggestion was more helpful than I initially thought. I made a direct connection to the printer via IP port (never work with the network admin right?!), and printed successfully. Thanks for your time. JDee.

| Start/Finish dates adjust automatically when I enter WORK Posted: 10 Mar 2006 08:26 AM PST I figured it out. I had to change Task Type to FIXED DURATION "jdee" wrote: |

| multiple-value field for a project Posted: 10 Mar 2006 01:35 AM PST Elena -- Project Server does not support the use of multi-value Project fields or outline codes. It does offer multi-value Resource outline codes in enterprise Resource outline code 20-29. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

| How can I view project files if i dont have project installed Posted: 10 Mar 2006 01:27 AM PST Hi andyjordan, Yes, the MVP.ORG site is very useful. FAQ #16 on the site gives some options for either using the copy picture button to create a picture that you can paste into Word or PowerPoint. You may also as noted in the FAQ save a project as a web page. The FAQ also gives a link to exporting data to Excel as well as mentioning saving files as PDF. Do any of those options work for you? Thanks for the feedback and let us know how you get along. Julie "andyjordan" wrote: |
| How do you set concurrent tasks within a project in MS Project ? Posted: 09 Mar 2006 05:05 PM PST It's hard to know where to start. First, are you using the predecessor links and not typing in dates? Trevor "Joshua J" <Joshua microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2006 04:47 PM PST Are you sure? I didn't think older versions of Project could save to new versions especially as I though 2003 re-arranged some tables. If you create a new DSN for a new database, can Project 2003 create the tables again and allow you to read and write to it OK? -- Rod Gill Project MVP Visit www.msproject-systems.com for Project Companion Tools and more "Steve Crago (Hotmail)" <com> wrote in message news:u3r1lY%phx.gbl... |
| Duration formula for Project Start to task Finish date Posted: 09 Mar 2006 12:16 PM PST Perfect:-) Thanks. |
| Fixed unit task - duration doesn't recalculate Posted: 09 Mar 2006 12:07 PM PST It was the Microsoft Business Solution - Solomon blocking it somehow. Now when I remove the integration, duration changes just like normal .. weird. Thanks for your help. Babar |
| Web Access - "Create New Task' error? Posted: 09 Mar 2006 12:06 PM PST No problem Y Lee:) Good luck! Mike Glen Project MVP Y Lee wrote: |

Many years ago (more than 20), when I started using scheduling software, I learned about productivity and started factoring that in. But after a while, I reached the same conclusions you described, and stopped doing it. I just included it in the duration estimate. I do it for an entirely different reason now, and I'm not sure I can explain it well. It has for years mystified me that production systems are always designed around the realities of downtime and the real world limits of mechanical/electrical/hydraulic systems. When you build a copper concentrator, if you want to process 100,000 T of ore a day, you build a system with a peak capacity (everything available working) of say, 110,000 T. We know things break, even in the best designed systems. There will be downtime. So just design for it. Strangely, in service systems, there is rarely any attention payed to this same fact, that people don't perform 100% all the time, and that, even if they did, unpredictable factors occur that no one could foresee. To schedule the overall system (of people, in this case) to be operating at 100% is just as naive as to schedule the copper concentrator at 100%. So what I'm applying in this situation is not the individual's inefficiency, but the system's inefficiency. The two are different. One could argue that they both should be accounted for in the original estimate of time, just as the individual's is. But it doesn't work out the same, and I'm not sure why. I'd be happy is someone else jumped in and rescued me on this one. I do know that I get better results this way, so it's an empirical thing. I'm not a university professor, like Goldratt, who needs everything to have a theoretical explanation to implement a technique. If I find it works for my clients, I go with it, and try and figure out why it works later. So now I'm trying to figure out why the system inefficiency needs to be accounted for this way and the individual inefficiency is in the duration estimate. Anyone have any ideas? |

| How to stop Baseline date changing to match Actual date entry? Posted: 09 Mar 2006 10:11 AM PST Hover your mouse over the column heading: I suspect you have a column named Baseline Finish but in reality it's a different column altogether and not the real Baseline Finish column What are the names of the columns you want to stop changing dates for? You must hover your mouse over their column titles to see the real column name. -- Rod Gill Project MVP Visit www.msproject-systems.com for Project Companion Tools and more "LarryH" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Simultaneous access to a project in the Enterprise (SQL) version Posted: 09 Mar 2006 09:31 AM PST I think you would miss the multi resource reporting by single indiviual the most. I only have a vague concept of a chemical plant "turnaround" but I can imagine I'd want to capture the "at hand" daily best estimates of those who have routinely been at the dance. Other packages offer the ability to multiproject/reschedule, but many still need exclsive use of the data or Objects when doing the calculations. There are two work arounds though, 1.) create the resource accounts under Project Server authentication (NOT windows domain) and have your reporting individual login/logout multiple times. (This is actually cheaper too because PWA CALS are per user (Volume licence agreement definition of a user) not per resource or resource account.) 2.) use resource management projects that have NO logical task linking, only order (sequence tasks) along runs of singular unique resources. to expand on number 2.) The idea is to build Control Plans with no resources only resource reporting directives (codes etc to use as filters to get the tasks to the right people). The resource managers then utilize their Projects as control panels only for the resources they are responsible for. Control Plan A -Task1 |--Task2 |---Task3 | | Control Plan B | -Task1 | --Task2 | ---Task3 | |Resource Control Panel Project |-Control Plan S Task100 resource JOE |--Control Plan T Task5 resource JOE |---Control Plan A Task2 resource JOE Control Plan A/Task2 is constrained by an interproject link to Resource Control Panel Project/Control Plan T Task2 "Control Plan A/Task2" can't start until JOE finishes "Resource Control Panel Project/Control Plan A Task 2" The constraints on Control Plan A's tasks (external links) turn out to be the resources that are most loaded and causing the most delay Once you get a few control points in a few control plans it becomes pretty obvious where to spend your energies to make gains by identifying the present and future bottlenecks. The Resource Control Panel Projects are also a way to collect data in non overwhelming batches from large resource sets that report frequently. Really it's just a smoke and mirrors trick to abstract the reporting sets to a size that has some value when dealing with finite resources and impart simple discipline to the whole system. It makes very frequent distributed status updates manageable. It also keeps hero's in check because the impact of confiscating resources even for brief time spans can be seen before a weeks worth of damage is done even without a sophisticated optimization. (More like the farmer is out in the back forty. If you want to tell him to go do something else then get on your hourse ride out there and tell him yourself. That is a great dose of common sense and flow maintainer when it comes to multi-project contentions.) A control point showing a dramatic delay in the critical path is an opportunity for gains, if it had remained hidden, confusing, blurred or most commonly; lied about. It costs money.

| Posted: 08 Mar 2006 12:44 PM PST Thanks, Rick... Trying to put a rough budget together for an MSProject Pilot program. I've configured servers & set up Web Access, but the server was up & running. The guy before me couldn't get it to work. I got it to work, but the developers wouldn't use it. No AD or outlook...what a fiasco. So it's a couple of days for the installation, a month to configure access rights, groups, & reports. Ball park on software & hardware...basic stuff. $5,000, $10,000? ciao "Rick Roszko" wrote: |
