I have service pack 2, so I will work on updating that.
There are no links on summary tasks.
There are no resources anymore, either.
I had my IT guy in my cube with me this morning and I...

I check the last date saved on the file and it is always for the last day I had used it. Most people I work with view the schedule as a plague. I doubt they would go any where near it.
It happened...

I think I found the culprit for changing dates/durations in the files.
I link multiple files for the purposes of making a screen shot once a month for a presentation.
Initially we intended to...

So far, so good. No random increases anymore. I've only posted it to the share drive once, though. I will definitely keep my eye on it and my other schedules incase they start creeping to the...

Thank you so much! I will definitely tell poeple not to use that column anymore since we aren't resourcing our schedules. It's funny how this is the only schedule that has been doing this. It...

I checked my resource levelling settings. It is set to manually level. So doesn't that mean I have to tell it to level?
I haven't leveled anything, unless I did it unknowingly.

Wow. This is more complicated than we had hoped!

We just went through it line by line to compare the baseline duration with the current duration. The tasks that had changes were ones where a...

Thank you for the speedy response!

I inherited this schedule from someone else who has 2010 (I have 2007). He put names in the Resource column on the Gantt chart, so I guess that might have...

I have a schedule that for some reason the durations on multiple tasks have been increasing by a day at a time at random times. I can't figure out why and there doesn't seem to be a pattern.
The...

Bummer.
I'm actually looking for a book to improve my skills. I have no idea what all Project can do even though I've been using it for three years now.

It's funny how other people post...

That is so easy! You should write a book! You always have the best ideas.

This is great! I will try both suggestions since I currently run the "Should start/finish by" filter, put in the dates for 30, then 60, then 90 days from now. Then I have to go through and manually...

I am using Excel 2007. I have made charts that have dates as the x-axis and numerical (cummulative) values for the y axis.

The lines go up as they should, but the dates don't line up properly. ...

I am working with Project 2007. We have a large schedule that has been manually layed out in the Network Diagram view. It's a very large schedule with inputs from many different teams. One team...

Thank you Julie and Einstein 007!
I have 2007, so I will be doing this right now. You always have the answers!

I need to rebaseline a project. I want to save the original baseline, though. I read in my manuals that I can copy the baseline to one of the other baselines and then set the baseline again. The...

Thanks, but we figured it out after a whole bunch of trial and error. It turns out that the calendar was causing the problem. All the directions I could find said to put the calendar in for a...

Now that we have figured out how to copy a network diagram and have multiple ones in the same project, I need to branch out to three sets of dates ...
So the customer knows that the dates from some...

My supervisor figured this out.
Instead of using the descriptive network diagram and rearranging the boxes again, there is the ability to copy the network diagram. So we copied it, renamed it and...

My customer wants to be able to see the baseline in a network diagram view and then switch to the current plan in a network diagram view without having two files open.

I can't figure out how to do...

I am trying to figure out why a summary task that is only 17% complete has a progress bar that goes out to what looks like 60% of the duration.

There is another summary task that has nine...

Thanks, Julie! You always have the answers!
I'm going to have to play with this, because I'm working with the Network Diagram not the Gantt Chart.
I figure I will have to create a new style...

I have finally figured out how to put a legend into the network digram! You print the schedule to Adobe, print the legend to Adobe and then insert the legend as a watermark.

BUT ... when I print...

Thanks, Julie.
I was hoping you would know some magic! Someone told me they heard the next version of Sharepoint would allow the linking. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Thanks again!

We are just migrating to Sharepoint, so I don't know all that it can do. I have learned, though, that we can't link project files if they are on Sharepoint. Does anyone know a way around this?
We...

Is there a way to make a box shape other than the ones in the drop down in the format box dialogue box?
We are working on a helicopter and want a box shaped like a helicopter for the task when the...

I have 2007. I was looking at the Format Bar. Didn't know I could add text with the Format Bar Styles, even though it's right there in front of me!

After asking the question, I decided to fiddle...

Why can't it be simple!!!
I did that and it worked perfectly - for the first summary task and subtasks.
But for the second, the names of the milestones are automatically appearing above the...

Thanks! I knew you would have the answer.
I had thought of that, but the customer wants them all on one line because the schedule is already fairly large. But if that is the only way to do it ... ...

Can anyone tell me whether is it possible to put more than one milestone on the same horizontal line on the Gantt chart?
One of my customers wants all SETR milestones at the top of the schedule, but...

Malyn,
If you have the schedule already in Project, go to View and select Network Diagram. Project will have it already in a default format. If you want to change the layout, you can, but it is...

Thanks! You always have good advice;-)
That being said, we tried it anyway. It didn't work at first, but we realized the two projects had different calendars. Once we made sure both were on the...

Will this work with external dependencies as well?

Thank you. I will try that.

Thank you! That was so easy! It is amazing all the things Project can do. You just have to know where to find them.

I have a (big) schedule with all the durations in days. Now the PM wants to see the durations in weeks. Do I have to manually change each duration, or is there a way to do it automatically?

I know this is possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I have an Adobe file of the legend. I want to import it or cut and paste it into the legend. MPP won't let me import an Adobe file. ...
