    - Windows Authentication on WSS workspaces Currently using Project Server and taking advantage of the Workspace functionality offered through Sharepoint. The system is setup to authenticate to a user's network login. Issue: When users are prompted to change their network password they lose access to Sharepoint. They get prompted for a username and password. PWA opens fine it's the Sharepoint link that doesn't sync up.? How can I correct this issue and stop it from happening to future users.

    - Red/yellow/green dot graphics for status indicator doesn't roll-up I have created dots for status indicators in the MSP 2003 custom Number1 field using the function IIf([% Work Complete]=100,"1",IIf([Finish]<[Current Date],"2","3")) This works fine for all the subtasks and mirrors the MSP "Status Indicator" field but it doesn't roll-up to the parent task. The MSP "Status Indicator" field does roll-up nicely and I would like to mirror that performance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - PMP Certification "Ready Set Pass Team, This is the Best offer I've ever gotten to prepare for my PMP Exam! Low Cost, High Quality with a Money Back Guarantee and Certificate for contact hours. I found this course to be extra beneficial." Mohamad Arief (Soltius Group) - Darmawan, PT Netway Utama Indonesia ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Statistical Research has Shown: Foote Partners LLC, an IT workforce research company, assesses the skills and pay of more than 35,000 IT professionals in over 1,800 North American and European companies. In their latest quarterly survey, they found that the Project Management Professional certification provides the best bonuses for IT professionals, averaging 15% of base pay. Just what is a PMP certification and why does it add so much value to the people who hold it? The reason is mostly due to the fact that the Project Management Institute issues the certification. The Project Management Institute, or PMI, is a global organization, with chapters in all but about four countries throughout the world. PMI has a rigorous criteria and a very difficult - many might say mentally abusive exam, which potential PMP's must pass before they can become certified. There are two categories of people who can pursue PMP certification. The first category is for those who have college degrees. People in this category must have 4,500 hours of continuous, non-overlapping project management experience for 36 consecutive months within the past five years. The second category includes those project managers who have not attended college. People in this category must have 7,500 hours of continuous, non-overlapping project management experience for 60 months over an eight-year period. Both categories must also prove that they have participated in 35 hours of project management training within the past ten years. Project Managers who meet either category must file an eligibility application with PMI. Once PMI reviews an application and determines if a candidate is eligible, they release an "eligibility letter." A candidate then receives the eligibility letter to take the PMP certification exam. The certification exam is a difficult one. The industry standard pass rate is rumored at 60%. Statistical Research has shown: Worldwide, there were 110,906 PMP's in April, 2005. There has been a steady increase in the rate at which new PMP's are being certified; currently in excess of 3,500 new PMP's each month. Based on the salary increases experienced by IT professionals with the PMP, this credential carries some clout and is capturing great interest. Membership statistics from PMI indicate that the Computers/Software/DP and IT industries are the top two industry areas among PMI members, with about 15,000 and 12,000 members respectively in each industry category (estimated in 2005). In whatever way people prepare to become certified Project Managers, the benefits are immeasurable to both the employee and the employer. Employees are rewarded with increased salaries, job promotions, and in general, better job prospects. Employers who use PMP's are assured that they have hired Project Managers who have a core competency in Project Management and the requisite experience to perform as a project manager. Studies have shown that projects managed by people who are not certified Project Managers have only a 25% chance of success, whereas projects run by those who are knowledgeable in Modern Project Management tools and techniques - as are people with the PMP certification - have a 75% success rate. Who do you think companies would prefer to have at the helm of their projects? Become a PMP!

    - avoid new baseline Hi As you know, the PMs can save anytime the baseline. It is ofcource important that the PM saves the basline befor publishing the project and do not make anychange if is is not necessary, so that the directors can check everything (for examle with portfolioanalyser) I noticed that some of our PMs reflesh the baseline althought it is not necessary. Because of that we see as if everthing is always OK. So I want to avoid that the PMs save the baseline more times. I mean They should do it jsut one time in the phase of planning. and after publishing they should not do this again.. Is that possible? Thanks.

    - Multiple projects across multiple resources i'm looking for a way to display multiple projects run across multiple resources. I'm more interested in tracking the projects at the highest level, not the individual tasks. Example: i have 4 projects, A, B, C and D running at different times in 3 different areas, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago. I'd like to see a comprehensive calendar/schedule that shows when the 4 projects are occurring across the 3 locations. Also, the projects could, and will be, sporadic, meaning that if Project A takes 2 weeks to complete, it might not be 2 weeks in succession. So Dallas might be on project A for 2 days, off for 3 days, and back on for 8 days. The same would apply across all projects and all areas.

    - Deploy forms and modules and adding custom Menu Bar I have developed a series of modules and forms and use them in MS Word and MS Excel and want to use them in MS Project. In word I have a .dot file in the startup folder that loads the modules and forms using the AutoExec() sub, it loads a custom Menu Bar (on top between File and Edit), I want to do the same thing in MS Project. To automatically load the custom Menu Bar, I was using the Project_Open in the ThisProject ProjectGlobal and that works great. I was going to use the set up GLOBAL.MPT in combination with the appropriate registry key to initiate the automate upgrade feature and that copies over the modules and the forms just fine with very little user intervention but it doesn't seem to copy over the Project_Open Sub in the ThisProject object. Does anyone know of a better/different way to accomplish this task? Thanks, Mike Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 101076

    - One resource - lots of tasks Hi - I'm wondering whether you can help me. I want to keep track of a number of projects where I am the sole resource. However, being fairly new to Project, I'm not quite sure how to do this. Obviously, I can only work on one project at a time, although I will be swapping between projects fairly often as information etc becomes available. Do I need to schedule myself as a resource for all projects? This seems to complicate things terribly. Or can I somehow take the resource component out of the project equation without mucking up the project schedule? Kate. Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 101058

    - Using constraint 'as late as possible' for one task delays many ta I am using a constraint 'as late as possible' for one task amont many tasks having a constraint 'as soon as possible'. It delays my project end date when I just wanted it to delay one task! I can't easily explain, but here is an example: Iteration 1 contains: - Task 1a - Task 1b - Deadline 1 Iteration 2 contains - Preparation 2 - Task 2 Iteration 3 contains: - Preparation 3 - Task 3 Task 2 depends on Task 1a and Task 3 on task 1b. All I am trying to do is have Preparation 2 finishing just before Task 2 and Preparation 3 finishing just before Task 3. When I use an ALAP constraint on Preparation 2 and 3, task 2 is delayed to end at the same time as task 3, which is NOT what I want... Thanks for your help!

    - TASK_FINISH_VAR field Hi there. I generate a report within MS Access that reaches out to MS Project mpd tables. When I calculate the Finish variance in Access (by subtracting TASK_FINISH_DATE and TASK_BASE_FINISH) it produces the number of days difference, but also includes weekend days. I noticed the the Finish Var field when displayed in Project's Baseline View, shows the varinance in days excluding the weekends and holidays. Is there a way to format the TASK_FINISH_VAR field in my Access report the same way, or am I going to have to write code in Access to calculate the days and exclude the weekend days?

The estimation methodology presented here is based on Use Case Point Analysis, a derivative of Function Point Analysis. This publication includes a point-by-point process on how to perform estimation and requires no special knowledge beyond this writing to implement. The author has been successfully using this method for 8 years and has estimated over 200 projects.

    - Simple project template When Project Management came out, 15-20 years ago, can't remember the name but it wasn't Microsoft, there was a template for a simple project, disregarding the complex issues involved in a real project. PM gradually became a very specialized field and the marketing has written off ordinary people as if they did not need to plan their activities, which they mostly don't (shame). I do have Win Project 2003 (for some strange reason I won't go in here) and I used to work with it, mainly in a supervising capacity. There are situations in my daily (retired) life where I can use something simple (because of progressive forgetfulness) to plan an activity/project. Setting up a new project in WinProject seems too much of a hassle, unless I can use some template, which I recall existed way back then. I'd prefer to use the Microsoft family of software instead of getting something new. Any suggestions to this old fart? Thanks.

Is there a way to change the default (01/05 or 05/01, depending on the Regional setting) to an alpha format (Jan 5 or 5 Jan)? Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 100963

    - trial version expired after one day I downloaded the trial version of Project 03 on Tues Mar 21 and on Wed Mar 22 when I opened Project the prompt told me it was already expired. I have tried all the contact email addresses and phone numbers for an entire day. The email addresses do not respond. All the phone numbers are automated messages. The original page will not allow me to download it again--just sends me in a circle. Any help is appreciated Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 100957

    - % Complete, actual finish dates, and predecessors I'm having trouble getting Project to properly update my start and finish dates when I set a task to 100% complete. I've set up my gantt chart view to show columns for percent complete and actual finish dates. In my Project training course, I was told that if I set a task to 100% complete, Project would automatically assume today's date as the actual finish date, but this is not happening. Instead the actual finish date is being recorded as the regular finish date that was first estimated. I want it to automatically record the current calendar date as the actual finish date when I set a task to 100% complete. I also want the start date of the task that is being set to 100% complete to remain fixed, and the duration to adjust accordingly. THEN I want the start dates of all subsequent linked tasks to update based on the actual finish date of the predecessor. Can someone help me with this? If this is not possible with Project as it comes, perhaps there is a script that can do this? Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 100953

    - Project Template for testing/lab support issues. I am new to Project. I am going to learn what I can. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a template to start with that would be useful for the following: I'm a test technician who builds automated test systems for our lab. I am also responsible for calibration, repair, upgrade of old equipment, technical assistance (tutoring), computer upgrades, etc.. I have been asked to build an MS Project for my work. I have struggled with the way it linking and indenting. I am looking for any advice or help. I have various projects that have stages that may or may not follow each other. I wish to have some categories that might have sub categories For example: Main Project 1: "Tester A" Categories: R&D: R&D Sub category: research into a method, hardware software, etc. R&D Propose a plan: Get management to buy it :) Hardware Hardware Subcategory: Acquisition: Call, email, buy, get the stuff here. Hardware Subcategory: Build the system Software Software Subcategory: Begin code Software Subcategory: Test/Debug Misc. Subcategory: Calibrate, Test In some cases they will all have to follow the other, in other cases, some might run parallel. (for example, I might outsource the hardware while I'm writing the software). This is one of many projects I have. Some will have more or less categories. Some will have "breaks" of time where I'm not working on it. How do I even begin something like this? I am fighting with the indents and the links lol.. I apologize if this is a vague question, any advice or help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Jeffrey Scharpf Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 100952

    - Invisible Constraint? One of our PMs sent me an interesting project to look at yesterday. The project was a modified version of one of our templates. The template consists of ~50 tasks linked together, but without durations, work or resources. All tasks are fixed units, effort driven, ASAP tasks with no constraints. Not all tasks are linked together leading to groups of tasks linked to one another independent of other groups of tasks. Our PM had deleted some of the template tasks he didn't need, preserving the links among a particular group of linked tasks. When the PM started adding work and resources, the duration of one of a group of 14 tasks changed from 1 day to 2 days (the 3rd task in the group if it makes a difference). When the task duration changed, Project Pro threw an error saying that "the task could not be completed in the time allocated because there is a scheduling conflict between this task and another one to which it is linked". Total slack for this task and the others in its linked group went from 31.5 days to -1 days. I checked for constraints on the linked tasks, there were none. Some tasks had resources, some did not. What I did to fix the problem was as follows: 1) disconnect the predecessor of the last task in the group (that task had no successor), 2) change the duration of the first task in the linked group from 0.5 days to 1 day, then back to 0.5 days. 3) reconnect the last task. Then the duration of the task that originally caused the trouble (or any other in the group) could be changed at will without any error messages. My question is twofold, what caused the error and how can I prevent a reoccurrence in the future? Any ideas? Tag: Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed Tag: 100938

Our resource information has not been updating in any of the Resource Center
views. Also, when we execute a cube rebuild, the screen in Manage
Enterprise... only shows the cube update was initiated. It never reports
that it completed.

So, the DBA and I looked at the database and forced a full rebuild of the
three cubes. No change.

Then, we did a reprocess of all the dimensions. This is when we got the
error on the dimension "Resorce list". The exact error is:

Processing dimension "resource list" failed. No changes have been made to
the database. Data source error: Cannot save object inside Decision Support
Objects (DSO) transaction.

No resources added on 3/17 or after are showing up in our resource center
views. We don't know of anything that happened to cause this but something
obviously did.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks,

Walter
