    - Crash on re-publish with Overwrite I use Project Pro SP 2 with Project Server and whenever I try to republish a task to a resource, with the "Overwrite" flag on, project crashes 99% of the time. The main problem is that the data that some people have in PWA does NOT match what is on the schedule, and I really need to republish and overwrite. I am just about ready to just remove the resource and publish them all over again, but it is annoying that I cannot just republish. Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98557

    - Master/Consolidated file stays linked/creates duplicate external l I have 18 mpp Subproject files, these 18 files have external links between each other (more than 800 external links), Total activity count for all 18 files is 12K. I want to create a static master,, Iâ??ve used the following process: 1. Create a new blank file 2. Go to Insert/Project 3. Select each individual project (as a group) from the list in the Insert Project window. Iâ??ve unchecked the "link to project" option at the bottom of the Insert Project window and then hit "Insert". However, I get multiple problems. #1 â?? the files are still linked and then the external links get duplicated. (i.e. File 1_Task24 to File 2_Task58, now looks like this File 1_Task24 to File2_Task58, AND to MASTER_Task125. When Iâ??ve created a Dynamic Master it works perfectly, but I need a static Master, and would like the external links to be imbedded within the ONE file. I have seen this work in Project 2000 & 2002. From The Dynamic I have also, gone to each subproject Summary Task, Clicked on TASK INFO, and ADVANCED tab and cleared the LINK TO PROJECT box and saved as a new file. Unfortunately, the files still remained linked, and worse, it created the duplicate external links still. Help. -Mimi Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98551

    - Duration 1 month = 1 calendar month I need help with getting the "duration" of 1month to equal one calendar month in terms of start and finish times. When I set the calendar to a 7 day work week it seems to work for a duration set in days (i.e., 365 day duration with 1/1/06 start date will show end date of 12/31/06), but if I input a duration of 12 months for that same 1/1/06 start date, it goes from 1/1/06 to 1/7/07. Why won't 12 months also finish on 12/31/06?? How can I get one month to equal one month?? Thanks in advance for your help. Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98541

We need to link to external predecessors. We are trying to do this from one mpd to another mpd and we get a "wrong file type" error message.

    - Dots after tasks on the Gantt chart Hi there I have a question regarding something dubbed the "trailing split" - i.e. dots after a task which only happens when I am using Fixed Duration tasks and I edit an individual's calendar to add non-working time. Why do the dots appear on all the tasks allocated to the resource I have edited, and why do they appear in the wrong timescale, i.e. they appear on tasks that are not in the same week as the edit I made to the calendar. I understand that the reason the dots appear on a task is because the non-working time has been incorporated into the task but I don't understand why it has to incorporate this non-working time into tasks that don't happen in the same week as the edited calendar dates. I don't want to use Fixed Units or Fixed Work as this is not appropriate for the tasks I am inputting. Thus far I have been unable to find a clear and simple explanation anywhere on the internet, can someone please help, I will be eternally grateful! Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98529

    - how to make a macro run other macros Hello, I'm using Project 2003 and have stored four macros in my global.mpt. Ea macro saves off some data into a .csv file. Ea macro runs successfully when invoked by itself. After creating the four macros, I then used the GUI (as I had done with the earlier macros) to create another macro that would run the four macros in succession. It appeared as if I was successful (nothing squacked at me in the GUI) while recording this macro. But, when I tried running the macro, nothing happened. Or, more to the point, I clicked Run in the Macros dialog and the focus within the macro list jumped to the top of the macros list and the app temporarily became unresponsive. I had to click Cancel three or four times to dismiss the dialog. When I looked at the VBA, this is what I had: Sub Pubs_All() ' Macro Pubs_All ' Macro Recorded Wed 2/15/06 by Me. Macro Macro Macro Macro End Sub Which certainly looked suspect. . . Having done something similar in Excel that I know works, I went over there and had a look at that macro's code: Sub Pubs_All() ' ' Pubs_All Macro ' Macro recorded 2/15/2006 by Me ' ' Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLS!Pubs_one" Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLS!Pubs_two" Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLS!Pubs_three" Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLS!Pubs_four" End Sub So, I thought I'd be clever and copy that code into the Project VBA editor, modifying it slightly like so: Sub Pubs_Test() ' ' Pubs_Test Macro ' Macro copied from Excel 2/15/2006 by Me ' ' Application.Run "GLOBAL.MPT!Pubs_one" Application.Run "GLOBAL.MPT!Pubs_two" Application.Run "GLOBAL.MPT!Pubs_three" Application.Run "GLOBAL.MPT!Pubs_four" End Sub Clicking Run in the Macros dialog now closes the dialog (no weird unresponsiveness), but no .csv files are getting produced. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98491

    - How do I view Project tasks in format similar to Outlook Calendar I am trying to use Microsoft Project 2003. I have set up my tasks, but don't really like the limited calendar views in Project. I'd rather have views similar to those in Outlook Calendar, where I could look at my tasks one week at a time, with information on what to do each hour. It appears, from looking at the Gantt chart, that Project has actually scheduled my tasks on an hourly basis, but the format is hard to view. Is there a way to either export my Project tasks to Outlook, or get it to a format similar to that in Outlook? PS I realize I could list the tasks in Outlook, but would rather be able to track progress and update schedules accordingly. Thank you. Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98490

    - VBA Macro for MSPP 2003 I am wondering if it is possible to write a VBA Macro that will copy an MSExcel Worksheet into MSPP2003. the Excel worksheet consists of a combined estimate sheet from four different departments with in our company. The four different departments are totalized so only one column of estimated hurs will have to be read/copied, however, (this is the real crux of the problem), when osting to our standard MSPP template the hours must be distributed by perctentage of total hours and probably up to a maximum of 7 different resource types for each task. I plan on using some generic resource place holders, once the plan is prepared I will assign resources from our Enterprise Resource Database. Will this be possible to using VBA? I appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you, Mike B Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98467

    - Project ASAP/ALAP dates at the same time. I want to be able to see the ASAP dates and ALAP dates at the same time without needing to make two passes. If ASAP date and ALAP dates are different this means not crtical path task that can be performed anytime within the difference window. For example if I want to schedule a constrained resource it nice to be able to see the date range that will allow me to succesfully finish the task and allow the scheduler of that equipment the maximum flexiablity. Currently Project does allow you to create this date range but to do so I must go and change all the constraint type and set the Project inforamtion to the correct finish date and re-calculate.

    - Printing Issue I will say before I ask this question that I might be going about this incorrectly. The company I work for handles multiple projects at the same time, I am sure most companies are like this. For the most part, all of the jobs run through multiple departments, and the majority of the projects use the same departments with only one or two exceptions. What I am trying to do is to create seperate projects for each department and then combine them. From what little training that I have had, this should work, but this is not my issue. My issue is that when I go to print out the different Gantt Charts for the different department, they print to different sizes. I went through the Print window and did not find anything that I thought would fix this issue. Has anyone had this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Assignment Units on the Resource Usage view I have a question about the Assignment Units column in the Resource Usage view in Project Pro 2003. It seems that this field behaves as a resource (future) allocation percentage until Actual Work is posted against a task, then it behaves as a high-water mark resource (current) utilization percentage. It seems that this field will go up but not down, and cannot always be modified once Actual Work is entered. I have the need to be able to either: 1) reset this column to reflected adjusted allocation percentages, or 2) use this figure to predict future resource allocations for each task.

    - Project 2002 vs. 2003, and Standard vs. Professional The Microsoft website has detailed information comparing Project 98 and 2000 to 2003, but no references I can find comparing 2002 to 2003. Is there a list of changes available somewhere? Also, can someone using 2002 open a file saved in the 2003 format without having to save the file in a different format? Finally, is the ONLY difference between the 2003 Standard and Professional versions that Professional works with Project Server and Web Access, or are there other features that differentiate the two. I have several users that have 2002 Professional installed who are reluctant to upgrade to 2003 Standard (we don't use Server), and I want to be sure I'm not misguiding them by suggesting that they do the upgrade. File incompatibility or a loss of features from 2002 Professional to 2003 Standard will not go over well. Thanks, DanG Tag: how do I hotsync my palm? Tag: 98391
