    - Resource delay if you assign people as a resource to complete tasks, if someone within that group were to call in "sick" when they were supposed to work, can Project show that task is now behind schedule because the resource was undermanned ? Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 107069

    - Project Duration vs Costs I'm new to MS Project and I've taken a few classes. I want my tasks to complete w/in the duration that I gave them. Ex: Design: 9 Days with 2 resource at 100%. What it is doing is taking 1 res = 30/hr and 50/hr = 5760.00 for this task. Acutally what I want it to do is have this task be completed within the 9 days. They will not be working on this task for 9 days * 8 hours/day. I know I'll have to put in how many hours it actually took on the resource sheet. Any suggestions? I have an end date that we have to hit. I dont want my resources leveled or split. The team has many task to work on in the same time frame. Thanks any suggestions would be helpful!

    - How do I show float in a Microsoft Project schedule? I am trying to show the foat time on a Microsft Project construction schedule. I know how to show slack time, but I am looking for how to show float. My definition of float is the time between when a task is scheduled to end and when it has to be completed. In this case I am comparing the current schedule to a baseline schedule. Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 107060

    - Split tasks Hi, I already have a list of projects with a start date and contract duration. I now want to insert a reminder to myself 12 weeks in advance of each project start date, that the lead in activities should begin. I could set up a linked milestone but that would double the amount of tasks on the sheet. Is it possible to do this via a split task and determine the period between the split whilst the end date remains fixed? I have 429 tasks on the sheet at the moment so a solution that could be copied/dragged down would be ideal. Many thanks, Dave Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 107057

    - Correct way to update a fixed work task Hi, i am looking for a correct way to enter actuals for a proj with all fixed work type tasks. e.g. i have a task A which i baselined with following value 1. fist entered task name and work (effort estimated) as A and 16 hrs. 2. then entered the resource name and % availability as 25% to calculate the duration as 8 days. Then baselined the values. Can some one suggest what should i enter and in what order while updating the actuals upon 100% completion of task. Following value i want to update - name - Task A, Work - 20 hrs, duration - 10 days. I want the proj to adjust the resource %ge. I am basically confused with the order i should enter the value. With a couple of hit & try, i manage to achieve the result but i want some one to giude me the rules so that i can remember i do it in one go. -- sr Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 107036

    - VB Macro for this dummy .. another outlook-project sync question. I have tried to get Maurice's script (ms project - outlook calendar) to work but I keep getting an "object not found" error, Maurice, can you give this dummy a step by step on how to set this script up as a macro and what pitfalls one might run into while doing so? I have seen a couple posts about using the workgroup mail feature for being able to send email project reports directly from project. Should I be setting up the workgroup mail stuff in project 2007? Is there a new way to accomplish this within 2007 without the workgroup mail work a round? Honestly, after playing with project 2007 most of the day, reading ALOT of the posts here in the newsgroups, I can't believe there is still no way to sync tasks, mail and calendars between MS Project and Outlook. I wish Microsoft could understand that some of us (small time consultants) just don't have the money to purchase all the bells and whistles needed to accomplish these tasks and that maybe they should make it feasible for us to get the type of functionality that we need to do our small jobs in a big world wide web =D Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 107010

    - Current Date doesn't match Status Date When using these calculation options, "move end of completed parts back to status date" and "move start of remaining parts forward to status date", I noticed that the result is different when the status date is set to the current date. According to the Help documentation, when the Status Date is set to "NA", the Status Date defaults to the Current Date. However, when you set the Status Date to the Current Date, the Status Date is a day after the Current Date. When I set the Status Date to "NA", it's updating the task as if the work was done yesterday. When I set the Status Date to the Current Date, it updates the task as if the work was done today (which is what I want, however, I don't want to be resetting the Status Date to the Current Date everyday). Is there a way to have the Current Date set to "NA", and have it update the actual work today and not yesterday? -- Thanks in advance for any responses. --Conrad Santiago Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 106998

    - Tracking Hi We are hoping to track projects by using the "Reschedule uncompleted work to start after" the current status date. But I am a little confused by its logic. E.g. A task of 10 days fixed duration scheduled to start on Monday 10th July. It is now the following Monday and I want to update the schedule. I change the status date to Monday 17th and use the "Update Tasks" dialog box to give a start date (will keep 10th in this case) and put in a remaining duration of 4 days (which is following the schedule) I "Reschedule uncompleted work to start after" for the entire project and the remaining work (4 days) goes to the right hand side (Future) of the status line which is what I would expect. I would expect the task to now show an actual duration of 6 days but instead it shows "0". How can a task that has an actual start date of 6 days ago have no duration? I know you can specify a duration in the "Update Tasks" dialog box but this doesn't really make sense especially as I could enter 7 days and this would mean I have done work in the future which is impossible. Am I missing a step or just misunderstanding what I'm seeing? Thanks in advance for any help -- Robin Tag: printing complete Gantt chart Tag: 106974
