MS Project 2003
I was about to rollout Ms. Project and decided to rollout the latest version which is now out, 2003. However I have now noticed that it requires Win 2K although this may seem right for Ms. and its developers it means I have no choice but to rollout the previous version (Project 2002) as I would need to update approx 18 PC's otherwise, addiing extra pressure on by budget and timescales
I know we should be in the latest builds but sorry guys, not all companies can afford upgrading all PC's Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58538
group by ??
In MS Project 2000 there is a function called "group by".
I have a MSP2000-file that contains "group by" and now I
wonder if anyone knows if it's possible to somehow use
this in a MS Project 98 version since this function is not
installed in that version ? Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58532
Resources working on same task separately?
Hi NG,
I am pretty new to Project. I would like to plan working time for my team
with it. I have several different tasks where often more than one resource
is involved. I am not interested in timing the tasks according to the
availability of all resources related to them.
Is there a way to enable a resource working on a task even though the other
resource related to the task is not available yet?
Thanks,
Martin Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58529
Netware & Proj2002 file corruption
Hi,
Has anyone come across file corruption issues when using
Project 2002 in a Novell Netware environment? I have a
file corruption problem which only seems to affect MS
Project files. Random files are intermittantly corrupted
so they are no longer able to be opened. Tried all the
standard tips for recovery as listed in the MS knowledge
base but to no avail. This problem was also present in
the same netware environment when using project98.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stuart. Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58523

Determine Critical path.
Hi
I have created a Schedule but want to determine the critical path.Please suggest me which way i can get to that
Thanks in Advance. Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58516
Professional Scheduling
My organization uses something called professional scheduling. It works something like this:
- An employee is salaried, let's say $1000 per week. This calculates out to $25/hour
- Technically, he will work 40+ hours per week
- He's assigned several tasks to complete during the week. For simplicity sake, let's say 5 and each takes 8 hours each.
If he works 40 hours during the week, the cost associated to completing these tasks will be $25 per hour. If he works less than 40 it's still $25 per hour because the other time is taken up with something else (i.e. sick pay, vacation, etc). Easy!
Now, if he works 48 hours, 12 hours each on two of the tasks and 8 hours on the other three, everything changes. He still only gets $1000 for that weeks work, but now it calculates out to $20.83 per hour. In other words, the hourly rate used to calculate the cost of the assignment depends on how many hours he actually works, if he works over 40 hours.
Is there an easy way to set this up, or do I have to write a VBA script that will recalculate a persons rate every week, based on the actual hours he/she worked, then enter it, with a date, as a new entry into the cost rate table? If this is how it needs to happen, do you have any suggestions? I'm not new to VBA programming, but I am in Project programming.

Place meetings into your schedule
We want to place a task in the schedule that represents a meeting that will happen every Monday and last one hour for the duration of the project. It will be fixed duration so that you can assign multiple resources without extending the duration.
Is there a way to set up a task this way, so the one hour task only shows up to be done on Monday for all the resources assigned to it. I can prevent overallocation by changing the assignment units.

Estimate at Complete
We are using MSP 2002 and want to use the 'analyze timescaled data' wizard to create an earned value chart. I wanted to include Estimate at Complete but can't find it in the selections would like to include the Estimate at Complete in the 'selelct the fields to be exported' window.
Is there a way around this restriction so that we can tell sr. mgt what it really wants to know: how much more will this cost me?
thank you for your help

Viewing committed vs sales pipeline resource allocations
I have two kinds of projects, those that are "committed" (I.e. the contract has been signed) and those that are in the sales pipeline (meaning the contract has not yet been signed). Resources are tentatively committed to sales pipeline tasks.
When I look at resource utilization view, I would like to be able to see that a resource is 80% allocated to committed tasks and 10% allocated to sales pipeline tasks (meaning the contract has not been signed) and 10% free (as an example).
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Tag: Check this internet update for Windows Tag: 58502

Why doesn't BCWS = cost
Hi,
Anyone know why on many of my schedules BCWS doesn't equal
