    Ms Project 2007 Task setup

    Hi all TechArena members,

    First of all, thank you for a great forum!

    I am a rookie when it comes to MS Project and of course this generate tons of questions.
    Instead of asking several questions I will explain what I'm working with and hopefully someone out there can give me an understandable explanation

    Instead of using the tasks as they are supposed to be used I'd like to name each task as a component. The start date for the 'task' should be the sum of todays date plus X amount of days.
    The X will be displayed in the column beside the start date.

    The duration can be fixed for all components (tasks), let's say 4 days.

    With this I would like to be able to adjust the X value (No of days) and automatically a formula calculates the startdate and adjust the block in the Gantt Chart.

    Is this possible to carry out? Any assistance is highly appreciated!

    Cheers!

    You want to see each task name associated with its assignments. Display the Resource Usage view to see task names under the assigned resource, or the Task Usage view to see assigned resources under the task names. You can also display the Task Form in combination with a resource sheet to see task names for the selected resource. This field also appears in the Assignment Mapping dialog box of the Export Wizard, which you can use when importing or exporting assignment dates. More information can be found here.
