| Posted: 14 Apr 2005 04:42 PM PDT Darrell -- When you create a new custom enterprise task or project field and then open an existing project, you need to press the F9 key to recalculate the project. Your action in removing a task from the critical path caused a recalculation, which then forced the new field's formula to recalculate as well. Open each of your projects and press the F9 key and then republish your project. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

| Posted: 14 Apr 2005 01:26 PM PDT You need to go fiddle with File Menu/Page Setup. It does not always behave rationally so you might try changing things around and see what happens. There is also a timescale setting in FileMenu/Print. When you get it close to what you want it is best to stop while you are ahead! -- -Jack ...

| Posted: 14 Apr 2005 11:20 AM PDT Hi Cloudburst99, From viewing some of your other posts it appears as though there is something odd going on with your printing of Gantt charts. Take a look at FAQ #44 "Printing Problems" at: http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm What version of Project are you using? Julie "Cloudburst99" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Keeping your Project leveled as you update it Posted: 13 Apr 2005 11:29 PM PDT Hi Scott, Once again instea of describing what happens you say the thing goes crazy. That makes it a bit difficult to explain because it is not crazy at all, it just shows wht you entered. When you put in actual work, Project will not change that. Actual is supposed to reflect the reality as it happened, and Project is designed to calculate plans, not mo modify the reality as it happens. Re-writing history is best left to politicians :-)) And having one task with multiple resoruces is to me not teh best way to use project. Best is to describe each task separately; ideal is tio have only one resource per task.

| Posted: 13 Apr 2005 08:02 PM PDT Hi Babu, Have a look at this site: http://www.mvps.org/project/networkanalysis.htm When you've followed it through, have a look at the final network diagram which shows the ciritical path. If, however, the Machine task, which has a duration of 3 and a slack of 8, had a duration of 11, it would have no slack and thus also be critical. Thus the critical path would go through the Machine task as well. For another example, if we were to add a project management task which lasted the whole project's duration, it would also be critical. We would now have 3 critical paths :) Hop this helps, Mike Glen Project MVP Babu wrote: |

| Posted: 12 Apr 2005 05:06 PM PDT That link is to information about Primavera's legacy tool Primavera Project Planner ("P3"). This has had very little development in the past 5+ years. While there are still many P3 users, many have already converted to alternative solutions that first emerged almost six years ago. In any event, I suggest that this NG is not the best place to get up-to-date information on Primavera.

| How do I save a GANTT chart in either GIF or JPG format? Posted: 12 Apr 2005 02:40 PM PDT Thanks everyone, you guys rock! I knew I used to do it, but I forgot about the camera. It's so stupid that they make it hard to find (ie: no cross index for "gif"). Thanks again, KARAF |
| Posted: 12 Apr 2005 12:32 PM PDT Yes, but only .mpx format, although Primavera (and others) has a utility that will convert .mpp to ,mpx. Most of the other Primavera solutions support .mpp, and even allow MS-P data to reside within a Primavera database. "pdel" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

If it is what it sounds like, you are courting file corruption. I can see a big complicated mess with tons of links on some very large files (I worked with such a beast last week), but if you only have 36 links and less than 200 tasks, your file should be pretty clean (at least in theory). I guarantee you will have the same UIDs in different files but that is not a problem because they are not duplicate. The link address not only includes the UID but it also includes the file name.

| Confirm which Project products are necessary Posted: 12 Apr 2005 08:47 AM PDT I understand your intent, but I think you are forgetting that software is perishable. Microsoft has something like a five year support lifecycle for Project. That means that Proj2003 has only about three years left. In addition they seem to be releasing new versions every 2 - 3 years. Since it has been two years since Proj2003 was released, the clock is certainly ticking... If they are planning to move to Project Pro sometime soon then it is a good idea, but if they are thinking about a year or two from now then they may be better off waiting and upgrading when and if project200x comes out. -- -Jack ...

| How do I add a custom column to a resource report? Posted: 12 Apr 2005 07:13 AM PDT Hi Rich, To add to JulieD's suggestion, if you added the [Text1] column to a task view, depending upon which resource report you are printing, the data may still not appear. There are three different sets of custom fields, one for tasks, one for assignments, and one for resources. So if you added the data to the task [Text1] field and print a report that is based upon the resource table, even if you include the [Text1] field, you will not see your data as you are adding the [Text1] field from the resource side. Take a look at FAQ #37 at: http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for some additional information and a piece of VBA code to transfer data from a text field to an assignment field. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along. Julie "Rich in Westminster" <Rich in microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |

| Gantt chart with two critical paths? Posted: 11 Apr 2005 10:30 PM PDT In article <com>, "Bill gates" <Bill microsoft.com> wrote: Bill, Let me expand on Gerard's comment. When I think of Critical Path I don't think just in terms of THE main Critical Path. It is very likely (probably most likely) that in any given project, multiple logic paths lead to some end milestone. Each path may be from a particular functional organization's tasks necessary to complete the project. One organization's activities may or may not interact with other organizations. Even though there may be only one (but possibly more for the reason Gerard noted) primary Critical Path, there is also a secondary, a tertiary, etc. path. For good project management it isn't always sufficient to just look at the worst case scenario but to also look at the "next up" problems. It's kinda like a Prateo (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) analysis where you not only look for the immediate issues but also get a "heads up" look at the next group of problems that are ready to appear. One way to look at more than just the top layer of issues is to set the Critical Path threshold to a value greater than "0" (Tools/Options/Calculation tab). Then do a sort to look first at Start Date and next at Total Slack. There is also an option for having Project calculate multiple Critical Paths. It is located at: Tools/Options/Calculation tab. Maybe this is more than you wanted to know but hope this helps. John Project MVP |
