How is this possible (with only Project Professional 2003)? I want also a separate field showing the "Owner" of a task.

    - How can I receive and grade high school assignments via email? I would like to set a system that allows my high school students to send me their assignments via email, that I can then grade and comment on and return to them, again via email. I know sending to me with attachments is best, but what is the best way for me to record their grade, and any suggestions/comments/corrections I have on their electronic submission? How should these assignments be saved (file set up?): one folder per class with individual student folders, one folder per assignment with all classes in that folder, one folder per class with one folder per assignment, etc? Is there anyway to ensure their assignments are original and not a product of cut-and-paste from the internet? Tag: Multiple projects and master Tag: 101148

    - Primavera-like Gantt view I like Primavera's view, that shows color-shading by WBS level..., so, L1 for instance might be yellow, L2 might be green, and so on. I'm trying to use the group-by function to show this, but it only does it based on certain kinds of metadata - not by WBS level... I don't want all L1s for the plan at the top, then all L2s nested within it... I simply want the standard Gantt, but shaded to help readers comprehend complexity more easily. Thank you!

    - Percent Complete in Dynamically linked Cells I am managing multiple tasks (essentially a sales cycle) per client. There are components that are central tasks that if delayed should affect all my client sales. For example if the product release date is delayed then all individual sales are delayed. To do this I've linked several tasks to a main task by 1) Copying the main task 2) Going to paste special and choosing paste link. This seems to work great for updates to my task title (update in one cell updates all linked cell), duration, etc.... however when I change the % percent complete value then nothing this is not updated throughout my project? a) Why? b) How can I fix this? Thank you. Tag: Multiple projects and master Tag: 101107

    - Cube processing of dimension"resource list" failed 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 -- WAC Tag: Multiple projects and master Tag: 101103

    - 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. Tag: Multiple projects and master Tag: 101085

    - 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. Tag: Multiple projects and master Tag: 101077

    - 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: Multiple projects and master 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: Multiple projects and master 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.

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?

Hi,

Inserting into a master or Sorting will not modify any link, rest assured.

NSkuse,
When you say that several tasks are linked between the individual
projects, I assume you are referring to external predecessors and
successors. If you are using some other type of link, we need to know
that.

The simplest way to create a master is by first opening a new project
and then going to Insert/Project and selecting each of the individual
projects. The default is for a dynamically consolidated master so all
the links between projects will be preserved. Once the master is created
you can sort as you normally would - in this case by [whichever] date.

Hope this helps.
