I can do the same as you but what I am trying to do is add the Compare Projects ribbon (not just the command) through File/Options/customise ribbon. It looks as though the facility is there but it...

Hi JulieS, Yes, the Project tab has the Compare projects command (which I use) so my query isnt a major issue. However, my ribbon displays the main tabs :...

I'm using Project 2010 Proffessional standalone and want to show the 'Compare Projects' tab on the main ribbon. In the File/Options/Customise the ribbon box I see the 'Compare Projects' main tab and...

Thanks for the reply. The box is 'ticked' so that all new views, tables etc are automatically added to the global. Should it be? I want my inherited file to retain its own formulas for flags 1 - 5...

I am using Project 2010 Pro and administer a number of projects. All projects use the same 'Flags' which are available in my Global.mpt file. However, I have inherited a project file that uses its...

My mistake - I should be looking at the Task useage view NOT the Resource useage view shouldnt I ?! I see what I want now thanks for your help.

Thanks for your advice JulieS. However when I look at the resource useage view in my 'Project' (not the resource pool its linked to) all I see is each resouce and underneath the the tasks they are...

I am administering a Resource Pool in Project 2010. In the resource useage view I see all my resources and underneath each the tasks that they are assigned to. Ive been asked to produce a view that...

I'm using Project Pro 2010 standalone. In the Resource sheet view Ive added the columns 'Available from' and Available to' but cant enter any dates in the cells. Is this possible or is the only...

In the 'Resource Useage' view there are periods when resources arent assigned to any task (shown as a blank field). This may be because the resource is available but unassigned or unavailable because...

I am using Project 2010 Pro. To change the task duration units in a project go to File>options>schedule. Under the heading 'Scheduling options for this project' change the units for 'Duration is...

Thanks for your advice. If I 'Enable all macros' my Open event works fine but I am aware that this setting is potentially dangerous so my next question is; How do I digitally sign the macro so that...

So I have opened my project, then opened VBE, navigated to the 'ThisProject' file, selected 'Project' from the object pick list and selected 'Open' from the event pick list. Ive then entered my code:...

Does anyone know how to get a macro to run automatically everytime a file is opened? Thanks

My import map uses the 'Code' field as the merge key. The actions I take is to open the resource pool as read/write then import my csv file to a blank resource pool and save. All works fine. If I...

I'm asking the import map to 'merge' the csv file into a resource pool that already has resources in it and guessed that this might cause a problem. So I firstly deleted every existing resource in...

I have a CSV file which contains employee information and I have created a map to import it into my resource pool. It works fine the first time I import but once changes have been made to the CSV...

Thanks for your suggestion JulieS. This would mean that I would have to split the task everytime a resource is assigned to or removed from that task wouldnt it? Each task could have up to 12...

I have task 1 that has a durration of 10 days. Resources A and B are assigned to it but on the 6th day resource B is replaced by resource C. Resource B is assigned to task 2 that runs concurrently...

I understand that your problem with the "Set reminder" button being greyed out is due to product versions. I have the same problem and have been told that to get this function to work you must have...

I have created a new 'Master' file and can add tasks but cant insert any file into it. The old 'Test' file works fine. Options settings are exactly the same. My workaround was to copy my 'Test' file,...

In my old 'Test Project' file I can insert projects using Project>Insert project and the 'Insert project' box appears to allow me to select a project to insert. If I create a new project file via...

Hi, Ive created a new master project file but the same happens. Interestingly if I open an old file (one called 'Test project' that is stored on my C drive) I can insert projects into it ok. I then...

The insert project dialogue box doesnt appear at all - the table remains empty. Every project that I try to insert has tasks, durrations and resources assigned. I have uninstalled/reinstalled...

Try this as a start: Create a task called say "Order items" and give it a durration of zero to make it a milestone. In its predecessor column enter the ID of your work task, make it start-start and...

I am using Project 2010 Proffessional standalone and wish to insert a number of projects into a master project. When I use Project / insert sub project nothing happens and my master project fields...

Thanks for your suggestion FlashX but add ins are disabled and anyway, I dont have any.

I seem to be getting this problem more and more and I suspect its due to file corruption (some files grow from 250KB to 3 MB even if I make a few minor changes to it). However, I have noticed that if...

Im the only person in my organisation with Project Professional 2010 and have to save my .mpp files in 2003 format so that others can open them. Ive set my version to do this automatically but...

Got it. Thanks Einstein007.

Before I print my project schedule I want to increase the font size of the text in the gantt chart so that it can be easily read when printed. If I increase the size of the text in the table it...

Thanks for your reply. Is there a solution? Is it something I could do or do I need to talk to the IT guys?

I created some usefull text reports in Project 2003 but since I upgraded to 2010 the same reports now show both a table and a gantt chart in the print view. I dont want the gantt chart portion,...

Hi, apologies for the delay but Ive only just got around to re tackling this problem. In response, yes it happens to every mpp file on my computer, yes it happens with every mpp file on another...

Hi, Not sure if this will help as my project knowledge is limited however I can offer an explanation that, by default, Project calculates a month as 20 working days. This means that it sees your 22...

Thanks for your reply Einstein 007 but this doesnt seem a solution to my question. What I have created is a text only report of the tasks that should start between two dates. I want to include these...

I have set up a report to show the tasks that start between two dates that I manually enter when prompted by the report. In the header of the report I want to show these dates. Can anyone tell me how...

Hi, In the gantt view I want to reduce the row height so that my schedule prints out on less pages. My project printouts have alot of unused 'white space' below the text in the task column. I know...

Ive solved it. Open the project as "Read only". Go to Tools/Tracking/Update Project. In the project update box enter a date in the future that you want to know the %complete, tick the boxes "Update...

For each project that I am managing I have been asked to report the "%complete" as of today and also the expected "% complete" for a date in the future (Say a months time). The first is simple but...

Im using MS Project 2007 Proffessional and want to add a column that shows the current date. Does anyone know how I can do this ?

Thanks for taking the time to reply however its not quite what I was looking for. What I want to see is the 'non working times' for all my resources.

I'm using MS Project 2007 Proffessional. All my resources in the 'Resource pool' have 'Exceptions' (Non working time that is mainly holidays). Is there a way that I can view the exceptions for all my...

Thanks for the suggestions. What I really want project to do every time a project is opened is to automatically reschedule those tasks that havent started but should have. I presume this would...
