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.

Could anyone recommend a good Micosoft Project 2007 book, i have been using Project for over a year and I get out of it what I want but reading through this forum I think I could get a lot more out of it.

I dont want the real basics but the more advanced side of Project. If anyone knows of any good books than that would be very helpful

Thanks

Dave

Dave, My books "Forecast Scheduling" are really good; they treat a project schedule as a 'valid, dynamic and robust model of the project to continuously forecast it. You can find these books at: www.ProjectProCorp.com Thanks! Eric Uyttewaal, the author

Its Project Stand alone. I was looking at the way you could export the resources to excel (which I did manually) and the way project lets you baseline the project and give you the planned percentage expected on that day and at that current point in the project.

I am used to taking the information from project and manually putting it into excel to produce S curves.

I would like to know more about how project lets to track progress etc.

Thanks for your help
