  • 1. Protecting a resource's allocation percentage across multiple proj
    I have a resource who is doing work for multiple, related projects. He can only invest 50% of his time (e.g., 4 hours/day) across all of these projects. So as a simple example, if each of the four projects require four hours of his time, the Resource Usage view would show him spending four hours per day for four days. I think what I need to do is have this resource in a master project, and have all the projects he is working on be linked into this master as subprojects. Will this meet my need? What other things must I do to ensure this resource does not get overallocated and all Finish Dates correctly uphold his 50% allocation constraint?

    Starting having problems with program Picture It 2000 after using it for years on this computer. Uninstalled. Tried to reinstall but it says it cannot find internet explorer 5, close all files and try again. No files are open. I tried the compatability options and they don't help. It just will not install! HELP - I love this program.
  • 3. help with Groups
    using 2003. I have received a project that has been grouped in various ways. One of the groups is Vendor. The added row that designates the Vendor is color coded and has the vendor name and phone number. I cannot change the name directly. However, the name and phone number are listed in the Resource Sheet. Although I can change the name and phone number in the Resource Sheet, it does not change the data or the Group display. What do I need to edit so that the proper Group name shows in the selected view? meg99

I don't have access to the version used in 1997 but need to access the 
programs. How do I do this?

Hi,

Try to find someone who still has Project 98 or try to find a copy on e-Bay.
Hope this helps,

Peter,
If you have the older version files and simply want them translated to 
something that is compatible with current versions of Project, I can do 
that for you. You may e-mail them to me at the address below.

John,

I have had some troubles with files created in 2000 and edited in 2003.  The 
issue I have is getting the very same error that Microsoft issued a fix 
through Service pack 1 for Project 2002 and is covered in their article on 
knowledge base 817271.  I mention this in case the same issue arises for 
Peter.  At this stage I have had no joy with Microsoft unless I pay them to 
find a fix.

Just a 'heads up' comment.

Regards

David C

Thanks all.

Have found a colleague still using Project 98 ( fairly robust as far as it 
goes)

Have converted original files to 98 and uploaded & saved as 2003 version.

So far seems OK but have yet to start altering them so will have to see.

Thanks again.

John, I have 3 small project files (either 98 or pre-98) that I cannot open 
with my current 2007 version of MS Project.  Is it possible you might convert 
them?  I would be happy to compensate you for your time and trouble!  
Sincerely,
Philip ( XXXX@XXXXX.COM )

Philip,
No problem. Zip them and send them to the encoded address I posted in my 
referenced message. If they are not corrupt, I'll convert them and send 
them back. There is no charge but I will ask some questions.

2.DOING SAVE AS TO EXCEL, USING A MAP BUT DOESN'T INDENT THE TASKS 

Help.  When I do a save as to Excel it doesn't indent my tasks (WBS) like it

3.Start & finish times, can this be done using hours & minutes 

I am building a plan I use a start and finish column with 
the day and date.  When I update these columns the Gantt

include the start time so say 17:00 and the duration will 
then be calculated from this.

Thanks

4.Project03 Flag Field anomaly 

I have a process that exports data from Access to Project and generates
Gantts automatically using automation.

This process includes a procedure that inserts a row into the Project
file and sets its Flag15 to Yes. The procedure works correctly on my
workstation, but on two workstations at a different location the
procedure errors out on the line that sets Flag15. The error occurs
only When the process is launched directly on the workstations in
question: if I connect to these workstations from my own location via
remote desktop connection, the error does not occur.

Today I traveled to the other location, logged on, and launched the
process. Sure enough, the error occurred at the line in question. I
examined the Project file and found that - only for the line just
inserted by the process - the Flag15 field is grayed out and cannot be
set either manually or by code. The Flag15 field in all of the other
visible records behaves normally.

I tried substituting several other flag fields and discovered that any
flag other than Flag15 behaves normally.

My workaround for this is to simply use another flag field; however, my
curiosity remains - what could there be about Flag15 in a task row
inserted in a Project file that behaves in this manner?

The sole difference in the environments is that my workstation uses
Project03 Standard and the problem workstations use Project 03 Pro, but
the error occurs only when the app is launched on the problem
workstations.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

5.How to write programs using PDS ??? 

Hi,

I am new to PDS. I have gone thru lot materials related to PDS. But
still got confused at certain points.

1. In microsoft's documentation, they are talking about an EXTENDER
class. I want to know where it is located in our system (In project
server system).? Can we modify the code for EXTENDER class?

2. Regarding REPLY through XML.. For, eg:

<Reply>
     <UserName></UserName>
   <ProjectsAccess>
      <Mode></Mode>
      <ResGlobalID></ResGlobalID>
      <ResGlobalName></ResGlobalName>
   </ProjectsAccess>
</Reply>

How do we modify the contents of the existing PDS method's reply ? OR
How to create new reply for a method?

3.  How the nodes (Mode, ResGlobalID, etc..) for each reply is
selected?? Is there any List containg the available nodes??

Where all these information are located ??

Any help appreciated....

Thanx
