    - Project Calander I created some calanders by going to "tools", and then "change working time". I'm using Project Enterprise 2003. I want to rename and delete some of the calanders.

    - Superior task, where start date and end date defines the earliest start and the latest date of subordinate tasks I am trying again. Now WITH a subject :-) Hi I have some tasks that has to be executed within a time span defined by a start date and an end date. I want to see a superior (Level 1) task, where start date and end date defines the earliest start date and the latest end date of all subordinate (Level 2) tasks. If I accidentally go beyond the bound dates given by the superior task the tasks should be marked specially or a warning should pop up. Have anyone "out there" an idea how I solve this problem? In the very end I am going to write a VBA-macro, that create both the superior task and the subordinate tasks. Then it is only manual work to push and pull the subordinate tasks to fit in the superior time span. Using: MS Project prof 2003 Ebbe Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105216

    - Able to change default rule for collapsing and expanding tasks Hello, When I click on a Summary Task by default every task underneath it is expanded. This results in my having to go to each '-' sign and select it so that the tasks collapse again. I know I can use the outline levels but this doesn't work well for me b/c in one project I basically have several different events I am planning for. I am looking for a rule/option that says by default all summary tasks are collapsed versus expanded. Does it exist? Thanks, Paul Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105213

    - PWA Timesheet and not entering a Zero value in actual Work Hi We are going to start using PWA for the first time in our enterprise and I'm a newbie with tools. I heard through the grapevine that if an assigned resource on a current task doesnâ??t enter the value 0 in the act. work, this could have an impact on the schedule or in the way background calculation is done. In other word, if no value is entered (keeping the field to NULL), we can have some issue. I want to ask to resources to enter a zero when they have not work on a task during a day. As you can imagine, they will probably be have some objections to do it asking to me why PWA doesn't understand a null to be as a zero. What is the impact of not enter a zero. Is the impact is affecting the schedule? I did some test and the progress into MS-Project is working correctly using Null or a zero in Percentage completed. Is the impact is then more related on budget or on resource usage calculation? Can you please, explain to me the importance to enter a zero instead of just keeping the null value into PWA? Thank you to all for you great support thought this forum. Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105212

    - Making row height adjustments permanent Can anyone tell me how I can make my manual row height adjustments permanent so that they remain after I close and reopen my schedule? About 50 of my 300 activities need row heights of 2 to show the wrapped text. After manually adjusting them all, saving, closing, and re-opening the file, they have all reverted to a row height of 1.

    - Scheduling back from a milestone date I am using a contractors Programme of key delivery dates to setup a commissioning programme for our company. Basically I am working back from these key dates to look to what needs to be done, the relationship I have been using is a start to finish relationship which seemed to work fine. I was however also using a late as possible constraint to move my tasks forward to this date. This is fine for a simple programme but I found that for our contractors programme the sub task which drive the completion date defaults to the larger hammock on the contractors programme. Any suggestions, was on the right track at the start? Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105203

    - Project cannot open the file We just installed Project Server 2003 in our team. I created a resource pool and, resource groups which are : Project Managers and Team members. We use Windows authentication. Only Project Managers have access to Project Professional 2003. Others have access to PWA. To the rest of the Project Managers (around 20people), they can access the server and the files in the server. For 2 Project Managers they can access the server but they can't access the file in the server. The error message given are : Project cannot open the file. Check that the file name and path are correct. Check that the file format is recognised by Project....etc. Can you help? Grin Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105195

    - Circular Relationships I've inherited yet another bastardized Project file! This time when I open the file I get a mesage each time informing me that there is a circular reference problem (sample message below). Each time I resolve a circular reference, I save the file & close out. Upon re-opening, I'm greeted with yet another CR problem...it's a never-ending cycle. All suggestions or ideas appreciated. --Randy No calculations can be performed now. There is a circular reference in task 569 Labeling of <project file name>. The successors of this task refer back to the task or its predecessors, causing a circular reference. To remove the link that is causing the circular reference, select the two tasks that are causing the circular link, and then click Unlink Tasks on the Standard Toolbar.

    - Why do headings to summary tasks calculate incorrectly? When I put in work, actual work, and remaining work hours, project calculates incorrectly for main header task. For example, I have a heading, sub-heading, then task list. I have work hours entered for the task list, and the sub-heading calculates correctly. However, the main header calculates way too many hours (for example I have manually put in 14 hours of actuals, and the main heading says there are 74...sub heading says the correct 14 hours), and can be manipulated by changing start and finish dates. I don't want start and finish dates to affect ANY work numbers. I only want dates as references, not as active parts of the project. I only care about work, actual work, and estimated work to complete. Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105177

    - Start Date contraint Is there a way in Project to specify that a task can only be performed on a certain day of the week? In other words, I link Task B to Task A, and Task A finishes on Mon., which puts Task B starting on Tues. However, this particular task can only be performed on Wednesdays. Other than hard-coding the Start Date (which I don't want to do because that removes the flexibility of Project), what options do I have.

    - Tracking Gantt Chart Is it possible to track changes to the schedule and make it easy to present to customers? I would like to be able to overlap changes on top of the baseline. Either a different color bar or different pattern for the portion of the task that last longer than the original baseline. For example: A task starting 6/1/06 with a duration of 3 days would be due 6/5/06 but scrapped material actually makes it deliverable on 6/8. I would like the task bar to be blue from 6/1 until 6/5 then be red signifying that it is edited or late. Anyone know if this is possible? Even if it had to be a more manual modification.

    - Baseline vs actual schedule and start/finish dates I have establishd a basesline schedule and have been maintaining the schedule using actual start and actual finish columns. I have many linked tasks. Project automatically updates (i.e. projects the actual start/finish date) as I update the actual start and finish columns because the activities are linked. However, the durations of these projected durations don't match the baseline durations. Essentially, the projected actual start and finish dates don't represent how the schedule has changed as a result of the real actual start and finish dates. My project runs 7 days/week, 12 hours/day. At first I thought the durations were "skipping" weekends but I selected all tasks and resources and assigned them all to the custom calendar with no change to the projected actual durations. How can I make the "actual" projected durations match the baseline durations? Tag: What is Owner, Manager and Project Manager Tag: 105074

    - Specialized Need Scenario: Particular project has multiple tasks that start and stop of different days (nothing new). Some taks overlap (again, nothing new). Each task requires x number of widgets to be in use so as to accomplish that task. This information is recorded in a Number field. I would like to display on the Gantt chart a total (for each day) of the number of widgets in use. For example, Task 1 (2 widgets), Task 5 (15 widgets) and task 9 (7 widgets) overlap so I would like to display a 24 at the bottom of the chart on that day. Any ideas? Many thanks.

We have just started using MSProject and Project Web access. I noticed that
this question is similar to some of the other questions already out there.
What is the definition of Owner, Manager and Project Manager as the software
sees it. I have read some of the other correspondence and found it helpful
but need further clarification.

Where does Project Web pull from MS Project information to populate the Lead
Resource field.
