Yes I did It's not the end of the world though. I would of liked a column showing labour costs for the various tasks. Would it make a difference if I added the materials as sub tasks, if that's possible.

What's a VBA

Thanks, I've customized a resource usage view to show a breakdown of materials and labour but I mostly work with the task usage view. The time line on the right is used for adding work hrs. I even print off a copy of the time line prior to commencing the contract as a sort of work sheet, and I...

Thanks for the help but it doesn't really give me the desired data. When I create a task e.g. Fit shower enclosure. I add resources ian, and Jamie say 4 hrs each. They are a work type and their rate was added when creating the resource. I then add resource shower enclosure that is a material...

I managed to add the group. What I'm looking for though is in the task view is there a column I can insert that will give me a total for the labour costs and one for materials cost.

Wow, you like giving me stuff to think about. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I go on.

Is there any way in the task usage to view separate totals for the resource type labour and materials. I have a column that shows the total cost but would like separate ones that shows labour and material total costs I separate the labour into "work" in the type resource box and the materials...

Sounds like standard may be sufficient for my needs

Seems a lot difference in the prices though

Could someone help with differences between standard and professional. Thanks

Think I need a more up to date package of projects. What would people recommend, and is ms projects the best for a small business. Think the standard would be sufficient?

Thanks again for your help. My master project shows the individual project and I insert using insert project command. When i open the master project All the data on the individual projects is correct even if the projects themselves aren't open. But the data for the master project itself, the...

Yes I thought this was the only answer. There is 3 rd party apps that let you view. Some you have to change projects by putting them in dropbox. But none have the facilities I'd be looking for as yet.

Does anyone know or could recommend a good app to use ms projects on my iPad whilst at work. I have documents to go but that is not comparable like it is with other MS programmes. Anyone else figured out a way around this problem

My mistake, it's in the task usage right hand pane.

I tried what you said but I still have to zero the hrs for the employees before I start the contract and then add the real hrs they spend on a task. My quote (bid)is built up by the amount of hrs I think a particular tradesman spends on a task and the materials I think they'll use. I also add...

I have 2007 and on my master project I can only view the projects if I have the individual projects open. Is this the same with your master project. Also is this normal.

Thanks for your help. After reading your response several time I think I understand. That sounds like a plan. I will have a go with a contract I'm due to start on Monday.

Yes the new added tasks do increase the final bill. The quote is submitted at the cost shown for the initial baseline as the contract moves on extras always arise. This is where I add the extra tasks. I am open to any tips, but the language that ms projects uses can be a bit confusing to me.
