    - How to renumber W.B.S. codes I have MS Project 2003 Professional. There is an option on the Project menu for 'W.B.S.' 'Renumber', but the 'Renumber' function is not highlighted and won't let me select it. According to online help you should be able to select your tasks by name (or entire project) and renumber the W.B.S. codes but I cannot get it to work. How can you do this?

It says to: Download the add-in: Download the file by clicking the Download Now button (below) On the File Download dialog box, click Open Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation The download button, when clicked, does nothing! I thought it was because ActiveX controls were not enabled but after i enabled them nothing happened. Does anyone have any idea of why nothing is happening when I click the download now button?

    - Calendar Color I am fairly new to Microsoft Project, I know the basics about entering into the Gantt Chart. What I am looking for is I enter dates and tasks in the Gantt Chart but I have added a column called "Status Of" which I customized to have a Value List of "Green, Yellow, Red and Gray". 2 things with this 1) when I select a value in the Gantt Chart View it doesn't show up in the project column but it does up in the formula bar area. 2) If the "Status Of" thing works, in the Calendar View I would like the bar color coded to the Value (Green, Yellow, Red or Gray) - is this possible?

    - Managing a project with contractors: not intrerested in resource allocation My sister needs help to choose software to help her instructing contractors performing different tasks in interior design projects. Unlike the normal usage of project management software, she does not have complete control of allocation of resources, and is less able to know with complete clarity how much resource was allocated to specific tasks. Her interest is in knowing which future activities are likely to cause delays because of dependencies between activities, and also to have an historical record of what work was carried out when. She can provide instructions to her suppliers/contractors, and ask them for progress reports, and time estimates, but does not manage them on a daily basis, and she does not pay them per hour. Can MS Project be used with this sort of scenario? How likely is it that she'll find a tutorial for Project which does not spend much of the time on resource allocation? Are there cheaper software products which might be easier to get to using for this scenario without expensive study? I was thinking of IMSI Turboproject. I am aware that MS Project is the clear leader, but her uses are not standard, she is not a project manager, and she cannot afford to spend a lot of time learning a software tool for what are quite small projects.

    - Order of details under Resource in Who does What Report I am a very new user of Project 2003 and am trying to edit the Who does What report. I want to sort the detail under each Resource so that each person can see a list of their tasks in Start Date order. I have tried editing the report but nothing seems to generate the list under each resource in this way. If I canâ??t do this via the report editing options, is there a way round this? I tried exporting the data to Excel but then all the Tasks and Resource names ended up in the same column so I would still have to do further editing every time I need a new report when the plan changes.

The formula is extensive and contains nest if/thens, I don't believe this will be a problem, however I am drawing a blank as to where the roll-up tasks would be flagged? I know I could use a flag, however this would become cumbersome. Microsoft has already used some sort of flag to make the roll-ups become bold, therefore I believe what I am looking for to be possible.

    - Work schedule progress question I have a question about how I should display the following data in project. I will do this in picture form as it is much easier to understand this way. Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 4h 4h Task1 ------------ 5h 5h 5h Task2 ----------------- 4h 4h 4h 4h 4h 4h Task3 ---------------------------------- 2h 2h 2h 2h 2h Task4 ------------------------------ 1h 1h 1h Task5 ----------------- Cum 4h 13h 22h 31h 35h 41h 47h 53h 57h 60h hrs All these task are subtasks to a summary grouping. For example Task 4 is scheduled from the beginning of week 6 to the end of week 10 and has 5 hrs scheduled for each week. Thus the hours are scheduled linearly over each of the tasks but not over all the tasks combined. If I have completed 30 out of the 60 hrs I want to show a summary progress bar which runs from the beginning of week 1 to almost to the end of week 4. If I have completed 53 of the 60 hrs I want the bar to run from the beginning of week 1 to the end of week 8. I have no idea how to do this. Is this % complete, % work complete, physical % complete, BCWS, BCWP? Please help. Also, this is an example case. The real data is 10,000 rows of historical data grouped into many different outline levels. Also, I know project can do lots of things like change durations, hours, and all that, but I don't want to do that. I just want to show what I indicated above for all my summary progress bars.

    - Tasks that are dependent not changing start dates My setup is that I have many fairly small projects. The tasks are of short duration 1-4 hours normally. If task #1 doesn't get started (For example it was scheduled to start yesterday, I want the next task to be listed as starting tommorrow not today as was originally scheduled. I won't necessarily be opening that project or myslef even know that the task got started late, but I don't want the next person in line thinking they have a task starting today when the task above them didn't get done. I don't want it to show up in their tasks. I have current projects set to 1 day. I have set my dependencies up FS and added a day lag time. It doesn't seem to recalculate until I enter something into the task above, but I want it to keep moving the dates if it doesn't get started. -- Peg Smith Tag: Mulitiple windows with Proect pro 2003 Tag: 84819

    - Schedule Progress I am trying to show schedule progress on a summary bar. For example if I have 60 hours of work to do over a ten week period, and 30 of these hours are scheduled to be done in the first four weeks, and I have completed 30 hours I want my summary progress bar to be 40% of the total summary bar rather than 50%. Consequently if 30 hours were scheduled over the first nine weeks and the remaining 30 hours were scheduled for week ten, I would want to show the progress bar as 90% of the total summary bar rather than 50. I thought I could use a summary progress bar which starts at [start] and ends at [% complete] to do this, but it doesn't look right.

    - Multiple Resources & Resource Calendar I have three resources that must meet to discuss as situation. I assigned all three resources to the one task. However, one of the three will be absent on specific date so I updated that resource's calendar accordingly. When Project 2002 Professional determines the start/finish dates, it uses the day the one resource is absent. If remove the available resources, it does not schedule on that day. Is there a way (other that updating each resource's calendar to say they aren't available even though two are) to tell Project that all three resources must be present and thus, not to schedule the day the one resource is absent? -- Thank you, Michael Tag: Mulitiple windows with Proect pro 2003 Tag: 84764

However, I haven't been able to figure out how to view a range where I have all tasks which start during the period and may finish after the end date (of the desired view).
