    - Erratic results from formula in text field A text field with IIf(datediff("d",[Finish],NOW())>0,datediff("d",[Finish],NOW()),"") returns Days Late. I've set Use Formula for summary rows, and a filter shows only incomplete tasks. The results are erratic -- some summary rows with Finish dates in the future display Days Late values.

    - Beginning to Format in Word 2002 First of all I would like to thank all of the MVPs for the work that you have given to helping users learn formatting. I am a 72 year old women who has been using a computer for years but gave up trying to use Word until my son got me Microsoft Suite 2006 which has where the newsgroup was given as one of the Help sources. I have really been working hard at Shauna's tutorials and have printed out just about everything that all of you have written. At this point in time I am still working on Shauna's tutorials. When she said that her mother was writing a letter in Excel. I thought "at last someone who understands." Ok now enough of the chat. My hobbies came to the point that I just had to start indexing my hundreds of articles, tutorials. After I read the MVP articles I knew I was going to have to learn how to format, I was wasting so much time looking through my binders, books, and magazines. I have just about finished Shauna's tutorials for the third time and actually starting to understand. I realize that I am going to have to overlearn to be comfortable but I just love doing it. It's like magic. 1. I have several binders full of the articles written by the MVPs. I realized that this would be a good starting point to format an index for each of the binders I have with your articles. I have turned out some pretty good looking indices (in my eyes)<g> In Basic Concept 4 Shauna says in the paragraph" How to remove the border"that the gridlines won't show when printed out. I have taken all of the steps she gives but the gridlines still print out. I just can't get rid of those gridlines. This isn't a big problem, but I would like to understand why the gridlines print out. 2. When the Modify Style Dialogue box comes up asking "Do you want to update the Style to relect changes"? or "Reapply the formatting of the style to the section" and lastly "Automatically update the Style from now on". I'm just not sure what I should do. I have just cancelled it because I don't want to mess up. 3. I Save as I go along, sometimes when I go to the Folder to work on the formatting tutorials I notice that some of the files have the following: ~$W to use the Reviewing Toolbar in Microsoft Toolbar in MSWord 2002. Why does it have ~$W. I opened the file but it was just gobblygook. 4. I used one of Shauna's articles and clicked on "Styles and Formatting" just to see how she formatted the article. What I want is to number the article say as 1. then for the other articles belonging to the main article have it showing as 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and then for the second article in the index or list 2., 2.2, 2.3. is that clear enough? It would be so easy for me to find what I am looking for. Thankyou all for your help deejay Deejay atkdj@microsoft.com from Beautiful Georgian Bay, ON.

    - Programmatically Changing Hours Worked Fields in Project 2003 I am using Project 2003 Pro and attempting to populate the hours worked fields from a CSV or XLS. I cannot seem to find anything in the object model or in any code samples that will let me change the hours for individual days. Here are the specifics: I have an XLS or CSV with employee hours and projects they are working on. Some of the projects are tracked in MS Project. Rather than manually keying in everyone's hours worked for a two week period, I would like to parse out the file and populate the hours for the pertinent dates using an app. So, how do I get access to these fields in code?

It isnt a matter of starting on the same date or finishing together only, they are flexible as long as they occur during the same time. Ex. Task A requires 30 days. During that 30 days Task B must occur requireing only 10 days. Task B does not need to start when task A starts nor finish on the same day as task A, it simply must occur DURING the 30 days.

It was discovered that this can only be done with Project server or by using Workgroup mail. I've installed the WG mail with the appropriate config and the email is sent to the user requesting the updates, HOWEVER, when the user attempts to reply, an error pops-up: "An error occurred during initialization. An error ocurred while saving the file. The data was not saved." On the windows taskbar, Project Server Spooler is running, but we are not using Project server. I've closed the spooler and the problem remains the same. I have tried to delete the Project server account on the local machine however there Delete button is grayed out even when I select work offline at start-up. I have already tried uninstalling the application but the problem persists, I have tried rolling back the system but the problem still continues. I have another machine that was not messed around with and the Workgroup Mail works just fine without the spooler showing up. HELP PLEASE....

    - which predecessor determines start date? When you are tracing through a schedule, is there an easy way to find out which predecessor drives the start date of the task you are on? I constantly find myself looking at a task which is not on the critical path, and which has lots of predecessors, wondering which one is driving the start date. What I do now is go to each of those predecessors and compare finish dates to my task's start date. But there must be an easier way. It's too bad Project doesn't just highlight it on the list of pred/successors in the bottom pane--is there some feature I don't know about?

    - Problem running macro in Project I really need to export a Project plan's tasks to Excel so I can distribute the information to team members that don't have Project.

I've tried doing Copy/Paste link as a Project object which is just a picture that doesn't show everything and is uneditible. I've also tried Copy/Paste link as Excel format which doesn't have any of the formatting seen in Project and is very hard to read because all of the hierarchies are gone. I've followed the directions for Jack's macro 'Export hierarchy to Excel' and copied the code into a new VBA module within Project. When I try to run the macro I get the message "Compile Error: User-defined type not defined" and the 2nd line of code 'Dim xlrow As Excel.Range' is highlighted.

    - Tasks Calculated on Other Tasks Hi: Is it possible in MS Project to have a task calculate it's percent complete based on a series of other tasks being completed? The "hitch" is that it is not a summary task. For example, I have 3 gropus of tasks, A, B an C. They are different parts of the project plan. I want a section at the end of the plan to show the % Complete for each of the groups of task and then use a summary task to tell me how combined total % complete. So I want my new Task X to be the summary task A, Task Y to be the summary task B, and Task Z to be the summary task C. I hope that makes sense.

    - Getting Users to USE MS Project We've had MS Project and Project server installed and available for use for a number of years (currently running MS Project 2003 w/ Project Server), the problem I'm having is getting users to USE it. Every year or so management comes to us (IT) searching for a better way to manage their projects. I've helped them along creating a few Gantt charts, explained how to setup Enterprise Resources and how to coordinate with other Project Users. I've done 1 on 1 training, group training, and I've even bought handfuls of books (Project 2003 Step by Step) which I hand out to users who I think could benefit from them. Well there must be something wrong with the way I'm training them, because they use the tools for a month (sometimes two) before their Project use peters out again, usually with the excuse "there's not enough time". That time of the year has come around again and I'm getting ready (yet again) to point our Management users to the capabilities and benefits of using MS Project to manage their projects. How to get them to continue to use it and integrate usage into their daily schedule is the issue. How do you motivate users to use the tools MS Project provides? Any tips appreciated. Thanks.

ChristineF,
I would have been nice if you included a little more information, like
what you are trying to do. Nonetheless I'll make some assumptions.

If you want to import something into Project, go to File/Open. At the
bottom of the Open window select the "Files of type". Then hit "Open".
That will bring up the import wizard.

If you want to export a Project file to another format, use File/Save
As. Again select the type of file.

Hope this helps.
