    - Cannot login to PWA from a computer other than the install server I cannot login to PWA from my desktop computer however I can login when I access PWA on the server where I installed Project Server. BTW, I am using integrated authentication which works fine on the server. I am having the same problem accessing the shared service provider I created. I can, however, login to Central Administration. Can anyone help me out?

    - Resources - How to - Recalibrate shared resourses Hello, When I assign 2 engineers to a task of 4 days, that task gets reduced to 2 days, this assumes that 2 people are able to do a job twice as fast, but I know that those 2 engineers working together produce as 1.7 men instead of 2. How do you guys take this into account? Is Project able to recalibrate those resources in the way I want? Let me explain the way I do it and you guys can correct me... I have my resources added through the Resource Sheet, in there, a resource has a Max Units of 100%. However, on the Task Information, under the Resources tab, I add the 2 resources I want to work on that task and I change their Units to 85%, this will do that task at 1.7 rate, so the 4 days task will be done on 2.35 days instead of 2 days. Is this the correct way of accounting for this? Should I have something else into account? Thank in advance for any response, comment or link. Regards, Miguel Gonzalez.

    - PWA 2007 Error on Page Problems My department recently migrated to Project 2007. We have been having many problems using PWA. When the initial page is loaded for PWA, many people in my department get an error on page - '_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames' is undefined. I have been successfully using PWA for 2 months and all of a sudden on Friday afternoon (after using the application all day), I started to get the error on page stated above and now I cannot perform the functions I used to be able to perform.

    - Project 2003 XML Question Hi, I am trying to build an XML report which shows the status of summary tasks in my Project. I have built a customer field using Number1 called PriorityTL, which has values: 0 - None 1 - Red 2 - Amber 3 - Green I have assigned these to graphical indicators and that is all working well in my project. What I want to do now is build an XML report which will show 4 tables (None, Red, Amber, Green) and place the tasks inside depending on their PriorityTL. 1. How do I display only Summary Tasks? <xsl:for-each select="Project/Tasks/Task"> <xsl:if test="Summary[.=1]"> This code will show ALL tasks including summary tasks, but I just want the summary tasks, not the detail. 2. How do I display only the "Red" tasks? <xsl:if test="PriorityTL"[.=0/1/2/3]"> doesnt seem to work <xsl:if test="Number1"[.=0/1/2/3]"> doesnt seem to work either I think I probably have both the name (PriorityTL or Number1) wrong and the value (0/1/2/3 vs none, red, amber, green) wrong but I'm not sure.

    - Actual Work - Distributed in Future While analysing one of our MS Project 2007 plans, I noticed that one of the resources has Actual Work entries for future dates - all the way through April, 2008. This doesn't seem possible and definately isn't legitimate e.g. he hasn't worked those hours yet and they shouldn't be in the plan as actuals - IMHO. We do have a timesheet tool that automatically updates daily actuals onto our plans and my first thought was that this individual processed future timesheets and somehow got them through the approval process and got the hours progressed down to the plan. I ruled this out because this individual is not ahead on his timesheets. Microsoft Project automatically distributes planned work but does it do anything automagically that might explain how future actuals could be present in the plan? I appreciate your help.

    - Material ressource - usage at the start of task Hi, I have the impression the following is a stupid question but I don't find the solution by myself... I have a ressource with type "material". Let's say this ressource is "steel" and my project is about building a car. The car is built on let's say 3 weeks so I would like the "steel" material usage to change during the 3 weeks: eg: 1 ton used the 1st week, 1 ton used the 2nd week, 1 ton used the 3rd week ==> like it is for a ressource of type "work". Currently, the 3 tons are allocated to the 1st day of the 3 weeks task "build car". I checked the "accrue at" property and it is set to "prorated" so I would expect the 3 tons to be allocated on 3 weeks rather than 1 day. Where am I wrong ??

    - problem setting task days & subtask hours In my current project, I have entered all my Tasks, subtasks, and resourses. Here is my problem Some tasks are completed in 1 day (or 8h). These involve multiple subtasks that use different resources. The total time for all subtasks totals 8h. (ex. task--plant tours = 1d, subtasks--freezer, warehouse, processor, packing =2h each) PROBLEM: when i enter hours for subtasks the main task does not total correctly, I get ### or other odd items. Some tasks run 3-4 days, each subtask is equals 1 day. (ex. task--work with drivers 3d, subtask--tom, dick, harry =1d each) PROBLEM: when i enter days for each subtask the main task does not toal correctly 1. How do I correctly enter hours for the subtasks so the main task totals 1d? 2. How do I enter days for subtasks so main tasks total the correct # of days?

    - Default Task Type I have a web development project whose total cost was based on estimated development hours * hourly rarte. The project includes 15 modules, each estimated (hours to complete) separately but with the same hourly rate. Because of the hours estimates should the task type for resources (programmers only) be set to Fixed Work rather than the default Fixed Duration? I'm thinking it makes sense to have the programmer resources be Fixed Work and then insert a 'Work' column in the Gant Chart view to put the est hrs for each module for. Does this sound right?

Hi Jolie,

You can add the Project field to show which project file the tasks are
from. The project field is also available in both the Resource Usage
view and Task Usage view.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
