    thanks. I had notification set but I didn't receive an email, so I didn't see it until I received your notification.

    MS Project Professional 2007 -- Enterprise Resources Can't See Assigned Tasks in PWA

    thanks Julie. I posted my question there last night. Hopefully I'll get a good suggestion. I don't have to rebuild the schedule assignments on the server and then re-add several weeks of actual work. What a hassle that would be...

    MS Project Professional 2007 -- Enterprise Resources Can't See Assigned Tasks in PWA

    Hi all: I'm using MS Project Professional 2007 and I created the schedule as an .mpp file and assigned resources before I loaded the schedule to the EPM server. I created the resource names consistently with the names in the Enterprise resource pool and when I go into tools / assign resources...

    How to delete a "phantom schedule" once inserted into a MSP 2007 master, but later deleted

    OK Julie. Thanks. While I have your attention. Let me ask you how I should be doing this. I have a resource pool and a master schedule with 4 or 5 schedules inserted / linked to it. They are stored on the LAN and we have to VPN to this LAN from home, so response time is a bit slow. Is it...

    How to delete a "phantom schedule" once inserted into a MSP 2007 master, but later deleted

    Hi Julie: Thanks for answering. Yes we are using MSP 2007 SP3 (I checked and verified). The “phantom” file was renamed and no longer exists. For example the current file name “CSR Schedule“ was originally named “CSR Work”. The file CSR Work no longer exists. However, within the Master...

    How to delete a "phantom schedule" once inserted into a MSP 2007 master, but later deleted

    Hi: I am using MS Project 2007 Professional (stand-alone) and have inserted several schedules into a master schedule with the link checkbox checked. I deleted one schedule from this group, but the master schedule still thinks it is there and is displaying tasks and work from this deleted...

    Assigning a custom calendar in MS Project 2003

    Actually, I discovered the problem. The place to assign a custom calendar to a project is Project Information, which I originally assumed. The reason why it wasn't working was simply because the custom calendar I assigned had holidays for 2010, which is why I didn't see any non-working days on...

    Assigning a custom calendar in MS Project 2003

    Hi: I'm trying to assign a custom calendar as a default for all projects I create or even for all tasks inside a project. Selecting that calendar under Project Information does nothing. When I create a new task under that project and look at the calendar field on the Advanced tab of Task...

    MS Project Server -- local resource data

    I'm trying to understand how MSP Server 2003 stores local resource data in projects saved and published. Is there a local resource (Y/N) field? I don't see one listed when I look at the dropdown fields available on the resource sheet. What MSP table would it be found in. Also, I noticed that...

    Resource Availability Data in Project Server 2003

    Hi all: I'm trying to create a report which shows how many FTEs (full time equivalent resources) there are associated with a project each week through out the project duration. I need to know where to get at this information. I assume there is a Resource table that captures the earliest and...

    Variance betw. data displayed in schedule and pulled from server

    I'm not trying to bother you about this anymore, PDQ, but I was able to find the following information in MS Project 2003 Inside Out. It may be helpful to someone reading these threads for information. Unfortunately, that source didn't go any further into it. If anyone knows another source...

    Variance betw. data displayed in schedule and pulled from server

    Thanks PDQ. Could it be that saving a schedule updates the Project Pro tables and publishing updates the PWA tables? It was my understanding that you can create and save new assignments, but that resources don't get notified of these until you publish them. That would indicate the...

    Variance betw. data displayed in schedule and pulled from server

    Hi friends: Does anyone have any idea how data pulled from the Actual Work field of a schedule published to Project Server can be different from data displayed in the Actual Work field for that same schedule. I am testing an in-house reporting application which pulls data from the Project...

    Physical % complete summary fields aren't summing

    Thanks for answering again. No, I don't assign resources to summary tasks either. And I do realize that the %WC is a more complex calculation than a simple sum or average. I assume the % WC summary calc is Sum of Detail Actual Work / Sum of Detail Work, but this may not be how MSP does it. I...

    Physical % complete summary fields aren't summing

    Thanks PDQBach: I didn't know that the choice between Physical and % Complete was not retro-active. I used your test to illustrate that. It seems that changing the value under Tools / Options / Calculation / EV will immediately change the EV Method value on all summary tasks, but not on...

    Physical % complete summary fields aren't summing

    Hi: I hope someone can help with this. I've pasted some values into the Physical % Complete column, but the Outline Level 0 summary task and all summary task fields below it show 0%. In other words, this column is not summing up the values that I pasted below it. How can I get it to do so...

    MS Word 2000 & 2003: Are Stoplight Controls Available?

    Thanks Fumei and Tom: I appreciate the valuable feedback. I've found a solution for creating stoplight controls in both applications, which is what I was looking for. The value of this little control, Fumei, is that it reports is that it allows the user to provide visual feedback on the status...

    MS Word 2000 & 2003: Are Stoplight Controls Available?

    Yes, it's clearly over my head. Do you or anyone else know a good place to look for activeX controls that others have written. Maybe somebody's already created something like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needed something like this in a Word form.

    MS Word 2000 & 2003: Are Stoplight Controls Available?

    Tom and Fumei, In Word there is a dropdown form control, where I can easily create a drop down list of green, yellow, red, but I have no idea how to change the background color of this control. These Word controls seem to have almost no properties to set or change. There is the ability to run...

    MS Word 2000 & 2003: Are Stoplight Controls Available?

    Tom has got the right idea for what I was trying to achieve in Excel. Using or misusing his idea, I put the text: Green, Yellow, Red in three adjacent cells and then used the data validation function to associate this list as the three possible values for a stoplight cell. That creates a...
