  • 1. Linking data from Project to Excel
    How do I create links from individual cells (i.e. cost) in Project to cells in Excel. I tried the copy-and-paste method. This works, but the links keep breaking. (I wish you could just type "=" in excel and then select the cell to link to in Project - like linking cells within excel.) Thanks for helping out!
  • 2. Setup Question - "Editors" vs "Users"?
    We bought several licenses for Editors and Users. The Project Server manual talks about 5 different user roles, i.e. Administrator, Project Mgr, Resource Mgr, Team Member, and Viewer. I'm trying to figure out what editors and users actually is so I can know who to assign these licenses to in our company. The two license roles don't match any of the 5 manual roles. Help! -- James A

  • 4. Patch to read MS Project
    I've got MS Office 2007 but not Project. I've received a Project file but can't open it. Is there a patch I can use to open such files as read-only - I'll never want to use Project myself so don't want to buy it. Sorry if this is a much repeated question. Thanks
  • 5. Logic through re-scheduled tasks.
    I have a schedule that has been baselined; when I re-schedule, the links I have creating still remain attached to the baseline, how can I show the links flowing through the re-scheduled dates rather than through the baselines. Is this possible ? Thanks in advance Phil

As I assign the resource to the task, that source is displayed next to the 
task bar in the project schedule.
What I want to do is toggle this resources assignment on/off, meaning that 
at one point I want to see the tasks and their resources and the next view 
would be just a task. 
thanks

Go to views menu, more views, make a copy of the gantt view (the default)
and call it what you want.
Apply that view.
Go to the format menu.
Choose barstyles
Select the barstyle with the big blue bar.
Click on the text tab in the bottom half
remove resource name from the barstyle.
Click OK

Now if you want to see names switch to gantt view, If you don't want to see
names switch to your new view.

1.VB - Toggling the outline indent

I want to create code that will since the state (True or False) of 
"OptionsView DisplayNameIndent" and then change it to the opposite state. I 
have created code below. I am having problems with the way I am asking the IF 
portion of the code. I know I am not doing it correctly but I cant find 
anything that shows me the correct way. Anyone have any ideas? 

Sub Outline_toggle()
' Macro Outline_toggle

        Else
    OptionsView DisplayNameIndent:=True
End If

2.When doing a project can you toggle between start date and finish date

I have to complete my project on a specific date.  At the moment it is
set up just with a project start date.  Can I toggle between project
start date and project finish date withough having any serious
repercussions?

Thank you

3.Caps Lock toggle using Shift key

While messing around on my computer, I came across the selection of being 
able to turn off CAPS LOCK by pressing the SHIFT key, instead of re-pressing 
the Caps Lock key.  I thought it would be a good idea, but have determined 
that I do NOT like it.  Now, of course, I can't find where I made that 
selection.  I have Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 (?).   Any help???? 
Please!!!!!

5.Toggle macro for day / hours viewing

I want to set up a macro in Project to enable me to toggle (using something 
like Ctrl-T), the 'Work is entered in' field under Tools>Options>Schedule tab 
to switch between hours and days depending on what is currently displayed. ie 
if my view is currently in hours, it will change to days and vice versa. I 
can create a simple macro for a one way conversion and assign it to a hotkey 
but can't get the toggle to work.
