Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a Maintenence schedule in MSP 2003.
I would like to set up a schedule with tasks that last for a year, then have team members log time against the various tasks, but keep the end date from moving out all the time.
basically I just want to keep track of their time worked on any task they may be working on, without showing them over allocated all the time, they could be assiged to many tasks within the same project.
A team member may work on a task one day and then not return to that task for say a couple of days, when this happens it is moving my end date of the schedule.
Thanks.

There is one way is that update the activities but don’t reschedule the balance work. Other way is define activity as fixed duration and put end date contraint and define the expected work(in hour or so) to be done during the whole period of work. So when ever you will update resource unit will fluctuate but duration will remain constant. Try this, hopefully it will work.
