There have been a number of changes in Project 2010. If you save the view to Global.mpt (File > Info, Organizer) you can reset the view to default (with the filter applied) using the Task Ribbon. ...
Can you reproduce the error on a new file? If all works as expected on a new file, it is possible your original file has some mild corruption. On a copy of the file, save as XML and then import...
You're welcome and give yourself a pat on the back. Great rundown of all of the options settings that need to be adjusted when changing Project calendars. Kudos!
I recommend installing SP-2. Does the formula work as expected in another file or does this occur with the formula in all files?
When you remove the filter and save the file, the view is saved without the filter. I suggest instead of removing the filter, switch to another view that does not have the filter applied. So you'd...
This is not from Project 2010. Please check File > Help and click the link for Additional Version and Copyright Information. You should be at SP-2 for Project 2010.
Are you, by chance, using...
You can certainly modify the calendar to make every day a working day. However, your resources will be scheduled to work during Saturdays and Sundays.
I've just tested your formula in a text field in Project 2010. It appears to work fine either with dates and times or just dates.
Are you up to date with Service Packs?
Do you have resources assigned to the tasks and have you saved a baseline?
Can you run any of the visual reports in Excel. Do you have SP-2 applied to Project 2010? In order to use Visio - it...
1. I've got some issues with the aggregation of some fields such as BCWS - the sub-elements add up to more than the aggregated figure at the next level up. Shouldn't they be the same?
Is it...
Assuming you want to group first by Resource and then by project:
Open the Pool file and display the Resource Usage view.
Create a custom group with the following definition:
Group by:
...
You cannot assign resources (material or work) to the project summary task. You can assign cost budget resources, but that is at a flat rate.
An option is to create a hammock task and then assign...
Your default start and end time is 11 hours not 7. How many hours per day do you have set up as working time in the calendar? Check Change Working Time.
Project 2007 is up to Service Pack 3 and it should be installed. You can try a couple of options:
Open the file and without making any changes, perform a File> Save As and save to a new file...
I'm afraid I don't follow your comment:
Are you saying you saved the file, closed it, and when you re-opened it the timephased baseline work is not showing?
If you remove the baseline work...
If you are not using work resources, you could certainly create three cost resources and assign them to the tasks noting each funding line. You can then save the baseline and record actual costs as...
Hi Matt,
Sorry for the delay in replying. For links:

Hi Matt,
You can divide the larger file into smaller ones, all connected to a resource pool file. Creating the pool file will allow you to consolidate assignments in one central location and...
You're welcome and thank you for the feedback.
The work-around:
Copy the resource name data into the Initials field.
Change the Bar Style for critical and non-critical tasks to use Resource Initials instead of the Resource Name.
I...
In case the reply is not approved by the moderator - this same question hasw been posted to the TechNet forums Project forum under the same title.

You're welcome, Matt. Thanks for the feedback.
The data from the Budget Cost Report is from the Task Usage view. Apply the view and add cost to the timescaled portion (right side) of the view. (Task Usage Tools Format tab, select Cost in the...
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
Once you start task B by logging actuals - its start date is set. As you extend the duration of task A Project attempts to maintain the F to F relationship between A & B. In order to keep the...
They indicate a split - usually where zero actual work has been logged. Take a look at the Task usage view, show actual work - likely there are zeros extending the end date of the task.
Ah, now I understand. I believe the full compare projects ribbon is only called through the button and is not available as a stand alone.
I guess I'm not following. You cannot add any button to a standard group on the ribbon. You need to add a custom group and then add a button.
I was just able to add Compare projects command to a...
The command is usually on the Project ribbon. Is it not there?

I am a fan of inactive tasks and the SharePoint Sync.
It does sound like a corrupt file. I'm afraid a re-build is likely in order.
You're welcome for the assistance and glad to know that you can continue to apply the knowledge in future projects.

There is certainly something amiss. Project 2007 is up to service pack 3 -- what level of SP do you have applied?
Do you have links on summary tasks? Resources assigned to summary tasks?
If...
Are you sure your resource leveling is set to Manual? Is it possible that someone else is opening the master file and leveling?
Hi,
Yes when you unassign resources, you shuold get a message about removing actuals. If you say yes (which is the only way to unassign resources) the % complete will be re-set.
Add the field...
If you un-assign the resource that should make Project much more predictable. The durations may not drop back down without manual intervention -- but they should stay stable after removing...
If resources are assigned, you now have a more complicated scenario than just tasks, durations, and dates.
You are tracking when you say you are entering Actual Starts and % complete. Are you...
To the best of my knowledge, durations increasing is not an issue of file compatibility. So, there must be something else going on.
Are you tracking work? If you compare timescaled (use the Task...
I think we are having a fundamental misunderstanding. Without baseline data, the start dates should be updating based upon the rescheduling of incomplete work -- there should never be any incomplete...
Hello Paul:
To answer your direct questions:
Yes. By creating templates in Project you can quickly create a new project with the list of common tasks, relationships between tasks. The...
You're welcome Steve. Feel free to post other questions as needed.

No, sorry, I meant applying the Tracking table to the left side of any Gantt view. Apply any Gantt view (tracking or regular). Place your mouse in the upper left corner of the table above the Task...
If you display the Tracking table, is there an Actual Start date for Task 23? What is the actual finish date for task 22?
Is there any leveling delay added to task 23?
Does task 23 have an Actual Start date? If so, remove it and the task should be rescheduled. I'm guessing you have a predecessor/successor relationship set between Task 22 & 23?
Is there a...
I'm not following your question exactly. Are you expecting the planned % complete to be based upon the baseline or the new baseline (baseline1)?
You need to set which baseline you are using for...
Perhaps the easiest way to see what is going on with assignment units, work, and task duration is to show the Task Form in the lower part of your screen. From the Window menu, choose the Split...
What version of Project are you using? The Project 2010 version does not accurately display assignment units unless you look at the peak units field added to the Resource or Task Usage view.
The...
I'm afraid you can't have it all ways. In a fixed work task, if you change duration, Project will change assignment units. However, if you change work, project will change duration, leaving...
How old is the file? What version was it created in?
No, sorry. If you give someone an .mpp file, they can simply unfilter and unhide any tasks.
Sorry, I'm not a VBA person. But, let me ask this question -- have you tried a straight forward...
