    - Auto Filter I am attempting to apply an custom AutoFilter to the duration field. I select "is greater than or equal to" from the drop down list of the Custom AutoFilter dialog box and "3d" - click OK and I get the message "This is not a valid test. Click the test in the list, and then press ENTER." I don't get this error if I select just "equals" or "is greater than" by itself. Thanks in advance for your insights.

    - Problem with calendar view When I access the "Calendar View" from either the view menu or the side bar, a number of my tasks are not visible. They have not been hidden, nor are they in any way different in priority etc (at least as far as I can tell) from the tasks that do appear. The date blocks have nice little arrows in the top left hand corner telling me that there are tasks hiding below and one can see what they are by selecting the right click option of "Task List....". This is next to useless to me and certainly not what I expected. If I drag (enlarge) the date blocks so that only one week is visible on the screen I can see most but not all the missing task bars except that in this case I loose the nice little arrows telling me there is more below. I can drag the task bars to the top of the date windows at the risk of disturbing Project's calculations. I have a 300 line project, perhaps not big by some standards but too big to have to go through a process like this. Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this result and how to painlessly fix it? Why should the task bars be separated vertically in the same date block when in all instances they are predecessor/successor, the same priority etc etc.? The only thing I can think of is that they are not always on consecutive lines ie their ID numbers are not consecutive, but that is no excuse for a program allegedly as powerful as MS Project 2003.

    - wgsetup and resource pool Hi We have windows 2000 & XP/MS Project 2003. We have a resource pool .mpp file with approx 20-25 projects at a time linked to it and about 45 staff in it(at the moment - could get bigger if this works!). We are contemplating installing/configuring some sort of email/workgroup collaboration. MS Project Server or resource pool and wgsetup? From the vast range of experience out there based on the situation above what do you recommend? There is a considerable financial (and technical) investment involved with Project Server but it should provide more functionality and better resource management capabilities. Wgsetup (a feature which isn't particularly well advertised by MS) seems to provide a cheap and reasonably painless method of communicating for project staff. I know this is a bit general and non-specific but I would appreciate any comments/advice from anyone who has implemented wgsetup v server. Thanks Mark Tag: Export a group to html Tag: 79978

    - Integrating 3 Schedules and Tracking Slips My company and 2 others are working together on building a product, and have been asked to integrate all of our schedules. After discussion, we are going to use an approach such that we create a Master "shell" schedule, that links to the sub-schedules. Since all 3 companies are working as a collaborative effort, there are dependencies between each company. Company A cannot start work until Company B finishes their portion. In order to properly track these tasks, we are going to create milestones in the Master Shell, that link to each company's task so that we can easily track when something is slipping or not. If Company A slips their finish date by 1 week, then that will push the Shell Milestone, which will then push Company B's start date. We chose to have this milestone's in a seperate schedule/section to easily track deliverables. Whenever the shell schedule is opened, it automatically links to the subschedules, and get's the most up to date information. My question is, is there an easy reporting mechanism, in project that shows how many dates each milestone moves? I am looking for like a Before/After snapshot of the effects of updating each company's schedule. Thanks for your help! Tag: Export a group to html Tag: 79942

    - Default View I would like to have the default view of my Project file to be the Gantt Chart. I have followed the directions of the help file: Tools -> Options, click on the View tab and select the default view you wish. However, I have this set to Gantt and when I open the file, it always opens in the Resource Usage view. When opening the file, I can see the Gantt view for a brief second and then the Resource Usage view opens instead. I have tried changing the default view to other settings but the Resource Usage one is all that will open on default. Any ideas on how to correct this? Julie Tag: Export a group to html Tag: 79939

    - Actual work changes when importing a project While importing some project-files (Project 2002, non- enterprise) to project 2003 server (enterprise projects), I noticed that for some projects the actual work that has been entered by the resources differs between imported file and original files. The sum of actual work for the task remains the same, but the hours are spread differently. I need to keep the original values. The redistribution happens when starting the import wizard for enterprise projects (immediately after selecting the file). Only some resources and tasks seem to be affected. Any ideas?

    - is scheduling from a finish date the best way to approach this scenario Hi Guys normally i try to avoid scheduling from a finish date, but i've come across a project question that seems to only really be possibly by doing this and i'm wondering if i'm approaching this from the right angle. the project is to schedule the advertising and recruitment of a large number of people over a 12 - 18 month period. The recruitment process for each employee takes up to 100 days and the employment process needs to be staggered over this period. So employee 1 needs to commence on 1 May 2005, employee 1500 needs to commence on 1 August 2006 - if the company is to commence trading on 1 Sept 2006. These dates are dependent on the expected commencement date of the company trading which is still in the "feasibility" stage at the moment. So what they're looking for is to say, if the company was to commence trading on 1 Sept 2006 when does employee 1's recruitment process have to start ... if the company's trading date commencement is the 1 Nov 2006 when does employee 1's recruitment process have to start etc. Currently the project is set up to schedule from a finish date with a project finsih date of 1 Sept 2006, Each employee's recruitment process is listed out with the employee title as the summary task and a milestone at the end which is linked to the project finish milestone with a lag to give the "right" gap (ie the main manager needs to be on-board 16 months prior to the commencement of trading) etc. Any ideas / comments / suggestions Cheers julieD Tag: Export a group to html Tag: 79922

    - Master Projects I have created a template to use for creating individual similar projects. I have also created a shared resource pool. Becuase the individual projects are similar and I am using a template, a lot of the task names remain the same across projects. The difficulty arises when trying to join the individual projects into a master project. When looking at the various views, tables, etc, for example resource usage, it is impossible for me to tell which of the individual projects the task names refer to. Is there an easy way to identify the individual project tasks within the different views? I'm working in Project 2003. (this is my first posting, so I hope I'm making myself clear enough).

    - Updating the schedule with progress I am looking for help in identifying the best way to update a schedule for progress on a weekly basis. At the moment where I work we are just updating the dates and adding a % complete. However, I now think that it would be more realistic to do the following each week: Request a new finish date for any tasks that are already in progress Request an updated start date and duration of any tasks that should have started. Then update progress on the tasks through to the current date. I feel that this shows that tasks are taking longer for example and shows visibility of where the project is running late. I know that some people update the % complete and then re-schedule but we are reliant on our subcontractors updates and we need to be given finish dates from them really in order to notify another subcontractor when they can start a successor activity for example. Does any body have any views on this or an example of an updating process that you use. Thanks in advance for any views on this. Andy Tag: Export a group to html Tag: 79903

    - Finish to finish depency question I have 3 tasks A, B, and C Suppose: Task A begins on Day 1 Task B ends on Day 10 Task C has a duration of 5 days. I want it to have a start to start dependency with Task A, and a finish to finish dependency + 2 days with B. The problem is that Project is scheduling task C to end on Day 12 and start on Day 7, even though it can potentially start on Day 1. I need task C to be scheduled on Day 1 because I am going to have another task with a start to start dependency with task C.

    - Issue with saveing project to Project Server Morning All, I am having to call upon your expertise once again. I will keep this problem high level. When a plan is created outside the Project Server, the end date and the leveling process is correct. If you click level project, the little bar in the bottom will click a few bars every few seconds. Everything works out great. But when you take the plan to the server it will ask you to replace the resouces with people that match in our resource pool's whos ids are pulled from Active Directory. I will click yes, then it will take all of the leveling out of the plan. MS Project will decided that everyone can work 30-40 hours in each day that they are assigned to a task. It seems it is stacking the tasks with the same start dates and not leveling them like it should, when I click level project I do clear out the prior leveling and it will be level in less than a second but the dates will not change to the correct date.
