    Resource Usage Scrolling bug?

    Just tried it, This has no effect on the problem :( All I can think of is to delete/reinstall the program. What a pain. As if something got corrupted... Scott

    Resource Usage Scrolling bug?

    Just updated the August 2015 update (at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3055022). There were no glitches updating, but I'm still having the same problem. That is, it's fine in every view except Resource Usage. I can move around just fine in the present screen, highlighting any...

    Resource Usage Scrolling bug?

    Ah yes - I'll give that a try. Thanks Scott

    Resource Usage Scrolling bug?

    Is this happening for anyone else? I am running MS Project Pro 2013 on a Win7 machine with 6 GB Ram and no issues. I'm managing a large project and the Resource Usage view is very clunky. In particular, when I have a resource that has a large number of assignments - that extend down past the...

    Why doesn't TimePhaseData read correctly?

    Amazing what a little sleep can do for the brain :) Scott

    Why doesn't TimePhaseData read correctly?

    Oops - nevermind. I figured it out. My code only changed a label, but not the actual variable to ActualWork. It works fine with the correction. Scott

    Why doesn't TimePhaseData read correctly?

    Can anyone explain to me why there are values reported for ActualWork when there shouldn't be in the following situation? I'm working with a dummy MPP that I created and I've assigned Work hours to the first seven tasks (through WBS 1.1.7). When you switch to the Task Usage view, you can see...

    Project 2013 Reporting: charts can show more than tables?

    I'm using Project 2013 Professional and the new & improved Reporting module. How come I can produce a nice chart of a particular resource's total hours to be Worked by Month, but I can't output the same data as a table to show exact monthly tallies? In other words, when I create a chart, and...

    Delinking accidentally referenced project files

    Ok so now it's working - the Resource Pool was the culprit. Somehow it linked; and upon opening the file one day, I was given the option to delink it. That did the trick. Scott

    Delinking accidentally referenced project files

    Hi Mike Thanks for the resource pool tip. Also, there is no sub project in play at all. Scott

    Delinking accidentally referenced project files

    I'm not so sure it was a file corruption issue now. I did try the suggestions in the previous post. No "Links Between Projects" were shown, and the XML translation step never worked. It saved as an XML ok, but when I tried to open it up as an XML, it showed an "import error" and referenced a...

    Delinking accidentally referenced project files

    Not working in Project Server. No resource pool either - at least not one that I've deliberately created. But I just opened the newer file to check (and along with it opened yet again the previous version). I just found that in Resource Pool under Share Resources, the "Use Own Resource"...

    Delinking accidentally referenced project files

    Hi There, I am working with a large single project in MS Project 2013 Pro. As I develop the project and major changes in project strategy occur, resulting in me needing to extensively edit the tasks, I have simply taken the latest MPP file, saved it with a new name, and started making task...

    Assignment Information Notes

    I just discovered that each assignment for a resource has an Assignment Information box (double click on any resource's task in Resource Usage view). And the box has a Notes tab, which is apparently unique to each resource in each task. I am in the process of developing specific Scope of Work...

    Spreading out Costs with the Task

    I've never heard that but it makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it Scott

    Spreading out Costs with the Task

    You mean, put them in separate tasks? Scott

    Spreading out Costs with the Task

    I'm using MS Project Pro 2013 and am fine tuning the cash flow of a project, where I'm having trouble getting the costs to span the project duration. In particular, I have a task, let's call it "Balance of System", which has multiple resources assigned. The largest one (90% of the total for...

    Filtering certain cost data from Reports

    A given material resource may be used in a couple different tasks, one of which i want to negate for the report, and the other not. So i have a custom flag field on which i can filter and then do as you suggest. Not perfectly elegant, because i have to remember to reactivate the tasks after...

    Ms projects standard or professional

    yes there is about a $500 difference; so it depends on your price sensitivity; but read up on the differences as I mentioned, and see if it seems worth it to you. One of the differences is the ability to designate Tasks as "inactive" or not. I find that very useful for what-if analysis. In...

    Filtering certain cost data from Reports

    I'm using MS Project Pro 2013 and having trouble getting certain tasks to disappear from the cost model. In a 500-task project, I have about 15 tasks sprinkled around that have negative costs (they are Materials-type resources, which I think is the only way I can get a negative number in the...
