do not split task over 2 days
Hi,
I've got some particular tasks that take about 6hrs. But they must be
completed within 1 day. If there is not enough time to complete that 6hr
task on any given day, then MS Project should bump the task to the start
of the next day.
eg. on a day when there is 4hrs of another task at the start of the day,
there is not time within that same day to complete the 6hr task. However
the way I've got Project set up, it simply schedules 4 hrs of the 6 on
that same day, and then the remaining 2 hrs the following day.
Any idea how I can prevent this behaviour and tell Project that certain
tasks _must_ be completed within the one day?
Regards,
Carl. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70531
Printing in Project 2000
Hello everyone. I am using Project 2000, and I have a question about printing.
I tired to print only one day, for example, only 9/8/04. But I couldn't done
it. Please give help me printing this out.
Is there any way to print Gantt Chart only? not the Timescale, but only
Gantt Chart.
Thank you, and have a happy ever after. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70527
% Complete Overriden
I have a project with fixed duration, non-effort driven
tasks. We are using the % complete column (not % work
complete) to reflect teams' progress on tasks in
increments of 25%. The problem is that Project tends to
recalculate intermittantly, and override the % complete
entries. This happens most directly when the Status Date
is updated.
One workaround we found was to use the Physical %
Complete column instead, since entries were not getting
overriden. However, the Physical % Complete does not
appear to roll up to summary tasks. We are using Project
2003.
Any ideas on why Project is recalcing or how to get
Physical % Complete to roll up to summary tasks?

Program Manager Approval Question
I am looking for the ability to approve project activity
from multiple project managers. Let me explain. I would
like to have my project managers be able to do
preliminary approval(first level) then the request for
time approval come to me for final approval(second
level). I seem to recall this being available, am I
dreaming?

Unable to reinstall Project Professional
Following a hung installation of Office 2003 SP1, Project Professional
stopped working. Tried to uninstall Project Professional, but when I tried
to reinstall received the message:
PROJ_PRO_ON_PRO_ERROR.
Project Professional 2003 cannot be installed when another instance of
Project Professional 2003 is already present. To install this copy of
Project Professional 2003, first remove the previous instance of Project
Professional 2003 using Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel.
As I had already run uninstall from the control panel I tried using the
"Windows Install Clean-up Utility", but on trying to reinstall the error
repeats.
I've attempted looking in the registry for the SKU 3B in GUID's and removing
these registry entries to no avail.

Help for beginners
I started learning Microsoft Project for the very first time about 2 weeks
ago. I've now read every post on this newsgroup and I'm finding many
questions even a beginner like me can answer. However, I would have been
posting the same questions had I not read what I did.
I'm posting this as a general aid for learning MP, to learn what I have
all I did was read Microsoft's "Step by Step" for Project 2003. I found the
book wonderful. It's long but they didn't make it droll on. I learned
about all that MS Project could do through this book. It gave me a great
base to build from (still have a long way to go), and I highly recommend it
for any beginner. It's 4-500 pages so I forget a lot of what I read untill
I've actually DONE it in project a couple of times, but after only 2 weeks
I'm the new PM for my company.
So if you find yourself in want of MANY answers, go buy the book and work
through it on your free time. It took me about 35-40 hours to go through
all the exercises in the book, and it taught me a lot about project, and
dabbled in project server. The end of the book lists many other MS Project
resources as well... that's actually how I found this web-post. Anyways, I
hope this book will help out some beginners out there like me!! Happy
learning!!
(no reply necessary, however I'd like to hear if it helps anyone!!)

Project Calender and working time
Hi,
I work with MS Projecr 2003 standard.
I have set up a group of subprojects, one file each. They
all work with one resourcepool.
I have defined an projectcalender for the project. I
defined it in projectinformation - projectcalender. The
whole july is working days. BUT the program still set all
days in july as not working days. The program seems to
look at the standard calender in some way.
Can anyone give me a tip ?

Leave Reports
Hi All
Is it possible to get a report on leave recorded in
Project (am using 2002 std)?
I record all leave for a resource pool in Tools, CWT; and
have set up a copy of the Std to use as the base calendar.
The scheduling is working well, but I can't produce a
report or view for team leaders that shows eg that Res 1
is on leave from 6th Sept to 10th Sept. Something they can
stick on their wall, and look at.
The Calendar View shows tasks, and Resource Calendar non-
working days, but nothing at the resource level.

Can't get Custom Fields to work.
Hi all,
I was experimenting with MSP 2003 (specifically with
Custom Task Fields).
I customized Text1 field for Task and renamed it
so "Sample" with Value list as "T1", "T2", and "T3".
Added a single task and saved the project in MDB format.
Then Externally, I edited the MDB file and added a record
in MSP_TEXT_FIELDS as follows:
PROJ_ID TEXT_CATEGORY TEXT_REF_UID TEXT_FIELD_ID
TEXT_VALUE
1 0 1
188743731 T1
I also changed the ATTRIB_EXT_EDITED field for all the
records in MSP_FIELD_ATTRIBUTES to -1 as follows:
RESERVED_DATA PROJ_ID ATTRIB_FIELD_ID ATTRIB_ID
ATTRIB_VALUE AS_ID ATTRIB_EXT_EDITED
1 188743731 206 -1
1 -1
1 188743731 210 -1
2 -1
1 188743731 217 1
-1 -1
1 188743731 218 -1
3 -1
1 188743731 219 -1
4 -1
1 188743731 222 0
-1 -1
1 188743731 223 2
-1 -1
Now when I open this MDB in MSP2003, the value T1 for my
Task does not reflect my change.
Can you please help me identifying the problem.
Is there something that I am missing.

Crosstabulate resources and tasks
Can anyone tell me how to see a summed hours
crosstabulation of resources on every MAJOR task?
This may seem simple but if the resources are not
allocated directly on the tasks but rather on the subtasks
the program does not seem to know how to sum them up. Or
maybe I don't know how to do it...
It seems that the entire phylosophy behind the program is
that one should see either the tasks OR the resources.
Even the custom fields with the same names are different
when reffering to tasks or resources.

Critical path in MSP
Hi everyone.
I'm relatively new to using MSP in anger and I have a
major issue with the way it shows the critical path.
If all the tasks on the CP are dependencies of each other
then it's all fine and dandy with nice red tasks to
highlight the CP.
If however you assign no dependencies but have all tasks
assigned to the same resource, then it does not show
these as the CP.
Now my understanding of the definition of the CP is any
tasks that, if delayed, will cause a delay in the
earliest completion time of the project. By definition
if all tasks are assigned to a single resource then a
delay in any task will therefore cause a delay in the
project and so is critical!
Anyone got any thoughts on this as it's quite significant
if I can't easily identify the CP in a large schedule
(currently around 700 lines and growing.)

Lotus Agenda Rewrite?
Hi all,
In my "spare time" I'm thinking of throwing together a .Net version of
the old Lotus Agenda, one of my all-time favorite software programs.
It wouldn't be exactly the same, naturally . . .
Below are my preliminary functional specs -- your thoughts? Any
programmers out there itching to write the RecognizeWhenDate object
<g>?
Jeff
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The software stores Items (a collection of words), Notes (a collection
of words associated with an Item), Categories (Index elements, each a
single word), Attributes (Entered Date, When Date, Completed Date,
Home Phone, Cell Phone, Work Phone, Address, eMail1, eMail2, or
user-defined), Hierarchies (of Categories), and Views (a screen layout
containing a treeview of the Categories with a column for Item, and
optional columns for Categories and Attributes).
The software needs to understand dates entered in a wide variety of
fashions (e.g. every first Saturday in November).
When you enter an Item it becomes associated with the Category under
which you entered it along with any Categories matching the words that
it contains.
In a view, display in the rows beneath a Category column either a
check-mark or a name of a child (or children) of the Category in the
heading's Hierarchy. If the column heading is an Attribute display
the actual value of that Attribute for each item.
You should be able to sort and filter views.
Categories auto-complete as you type them (sound effects optional). Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70408
"Pretty" Project Plans ...
Folks,
I'm fishing for ideas to use for learning and examples. Anyone know of
some articles, books, web sites, or tools which discuss and give
examples of great and world-class project communication methods and
graphics?
A senior executive dropped by my office this week, seeking my help for
her project team.
"Rob, do you have any ideas on how we can better communicate project
plans?" I said, "Well, my first guess would be that they use Project to
create a view of the plan in a way which communicates the intended
message.". I explained how I prefer to always communicate in context
and avoid complexity. "No!", she asserted. "Project is c..p! Look at
this!". With great disdain she thrust into my hands a B&W paper copy of
the latest PowerPoint-based presentation "papers" about her project
used at the recent "stakeholders" meeting. "We want pretty project
plans. Our executives and stakeholders won't understand it otherwise."
On the single page where schedule/plan was addressed, the PM for the
project had included a screen shot (using the camera icon of the current
Microsoft Project plan).
: It looked to be a 125-150 task schedule in which they showed a subset
of 29. These tasks were a mixture of summary tasks with some
non-summary tasks. Not clear why they chose that set of tasks (no
explanatory words on page)
: The columns ID, Task Name, % Complete, Start, Finish, and a Gantt
Chart covering 3 calendar years by Quarter (even though it is a 1.5 year
schedule ... so the right 1/3rd of diagram was empty).
: The % Complete field only filled in 7 of the rows ... not sure how or
why they blanked out other rows (guess to hide the cells which showed 0%
complete). The executive said "We don't understand how % compute is
determined. These numbers can't be right. They shouldn't show them."
: The author used deadline field arrows/field (good) on some teaks, but
did not include a legend (bad) which then the executive complained about
as "what is this??? This is confusing!"
: There were a few predecessor links shown between the summary tasks (I
have discomfort with that).
: The summary bars had the beginning/ending triangle blocks. The Gantt
bars had no indication of progress inside the bars (which was expected
by my executive friend).
: The executive took offense that the author of the PPT page chose to
include the Project ID field on the screen shot. "That shows nothing".
It was a "step out" for this PM to try showing the Project Plan in a MS
Project Gantt Chart, but they fumbled the job and the risk is that they
won't try again and will be forced to abandon their use of Project as a
project tool and instead move to managing the project with PowerPoint.
In general, this organization uses Project only as a means to send
"data" (not all of it meaningful, IMHO) about projects to the Project
Office, who in turn then assembles reports (automated tools) for senior
executives who then report-on project status on behalf of and instead of
the PMs. The hoops they jump through to "fix" the schedule (with must
start or must end constraints on every single task to stop the schedule
from "jumping around" when reported to PMO makes the Project .mpp files
unusable for anything else. Typically, they don't use Project as tool
for project modeling, tracking, resource planning, cost estimating,
progress tracking, communication, etc. I'm working on this 'problem' in
my part time.
It seems to be normal for executives in this organization to only be
given (and I guess expect to see) 'pretty' PowerPoint pictures of a
"thing" which looks sort like a Gantt Chart which shows open squares for
scores of "milestones" plotted on graph ... they fill them in to show
completed milestones. Lots of colorful bars on each row which look like
Project Tasks, but really aren't ... they are more like phases or areas
of works. These milestones are grouped inside these bars. I find these
things way to complex, but to an art director I guess they have some
elements of "prettiness" due to all the colors in use.
The organization wants "pretty". They focus only on communication of
milestone tracking. The senior managers and executives profess to not
understand project plans otherwise.
I guess I have an opportunity here to set the standard for how to use
Project "properly" to communicate project status and plans "properly".
I'd like to do it in a way which works and is seen to be "world-class",
conveys quality information content and is "accepted". I have some ideas
and ways I've done it (I think successfully) in the past, but am seeking
some external influence here.
I've done some reading in Kerzner's book, and searched PMI's library for
some references. Also enjoy Edward Tufte's dabbling in this area (but
too theoretical). While they need is for "pretty", having terrific
content will be the swaying factor. I contend we can be "attractive"
with content and still hit the mark. The risk here is that need to do
it right as there won't be many shots at having an influence on this.

Create Table Wizard doesn't work
I'm trying to create a new database design by using the "table wizard" and it
won't work. I've reloaded Access 2003 professional 3 times and it still
won't work. Anyone have any ideas as to why? Everything else seems to work. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70394
Accessing Project over internet?
hi we are a small company with projects in foreign countries. we use MS
Project Pro for project management and understand this can be accessed via
web for international access and sharing. we cannot work out how to do this
though. It would be great if we could have project server on our web server
(hosted by ISP) which is a windows web server and then access it using
Project pro from any location?
Is this possible? do I have to ask ISP to install Project Server on our web
server? Can I do this remotely? or am I dreaming in fantasy land?
Any guidance greatly appreciated and welcome. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70392

Week1, Week2...(from end)
I am scheduling a project using backwards timing in weeks. When I use this
option, my regressive countdown on weeks starts from Week2, not week1.
I already change options to schedule from project start, from project
finish, changed order of taksa and still can not do it.
Can someone tell me how I can change this so the count starts from Week1?

FIXES ON POPUPS

How do I make every new Outlook folder the same format?
Every time I create a new folder in Outlook, it defaults to a format with a
lot of unnecessary fields. Then I have to go in and modify the display. How
do I change that default so that every new folder I create looks the same as
the last? Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70373
Title Bars
I have one file with over 3000 activities and Many levels
of indents that I inherited. Most of the owners don't want
to see 7 title bars before their work. Is there anyway to
hide these line items not just the bars or symbols? I do
use filters but that is not enough in any case. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70368
Renaming Baseline Fields
Hi All,
I need to change the names for all baseline fields to projected fields, for
example:
Baseline Finish becomes Projected Finish
Baseline Duration -> Projected Duration
Baseline Cost -> Projected Cost
Etc.
I tried creating a Custom Date (Date1) with the formula [Baseline Finish],
but this populates the field with NA instead of a date.
The only way I've been able to get this to work is by saving an Interim plan
and renaming the Finish and Start fields, but this is not ideal because:
1) The reference manually I'm using says to not use Interim plans anymore.
2) It doesn't address baseline cost, etc.
How should I do this?
Thanks for any help,

How to wrap words in Task Name, Text columns ?
I know there is an option to wrap word in the heading
fields of each column. Can someone please tell me how
can I wrap words in the Task Name and Text columns ? It
is because some of my tasks' name are long and unable to
see except I make the column width big enough to show it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70359
Weekends
Help!
Project Standard 2003, No project server...
I have a multi-project schedule, with one resource pool...
I am trying to schedule weekends for 3 particular resources inside of one
project. I am going to Tools | Change Working Time, and choosing the proper
resource(s) from the 'For' pulldown. I am then setting the weekend days to
working days by selecting them, choosing 'non-default working time' entering
the weekend working hours accordingly.
The problem is, when i save, close, and reopen the schedule, the weekends I
set to be working times reset back to non working times.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,

Custom Calendar for Tasks
Hi All,
I have a task that can only be done on the 1st or 3rd Tuesday of every month
and I need to set up a custom calendar or something to limit it to this.
Here's a generic version of my tasks.
Task 1 - planning.
Task 2 - commission meeting (this is the task that only happens on the 1st
or 3rd tuesday)
Task 3 - construction.
So if planning (Task 1) goes past the 1st tuesday of the month, then task 2
needs to be pushed back to the 3rd tuesday of the month. Is there any way
to do this?
Thanks,

How do I save e-mail to server for multi-users?
We have XP and Outlook 2003 and have set up several users on the same
computer. When checking e-mail, each user would like to see all the e-mail
that has come in, but the first person to access e-mail gets to see the
e-mail and no one else does. We used to be able to have it stay on the server
for each person to look at it but now we are not able to. What are the
settings we have to make to accomplish this task? Tag: office products like Word or Publisher should make use the power . Tag: 70336
