Looking for software testers in exchange for free copy

I am looking for MS Project users to check out MSP Pricer. - an add-in SW package that allows you to perform fully compliant project pricing from within MS Project. Schedule drives the cost so C/S integration is assured. You use your rates and price by element of cost. Check out http://www.ibmsglobal.com. If you are interested in testing email Kevin at [email protected]. If you spend a short time testing and fill out a very short questionnaire and you will receive a free copy of the software (a $149 value)

% complete at summary tasks

While tracking the project schedule i am finding problem. Some activities taking more duration then it was planned, so while updating the schedule i have entered actual start, remaining duration. Then the % completion is taking automaticallty. But the project summery task % completion is showing very much higher then it actually completed. How to solve this. Is there any other process to do the correct tracking. It will be very much help to me if anybody can answer me.

MS Project - macro to edit Project settings

Quick question - is it possible to write a macro to edit "Project options" in Project 2010? Specifically I'm looking to write 2 macros to change the date format to Date+time and back to Date only.

Useful if you quickly want to see exactly why an activity is taking 7,74 days for example and "clean up" unnecessary decimals.

Recurring tasks - linking them.

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

Yes, it's me again!

I have a number of recurring tasks and I would like to link them so that theyre automatically cheduled within the day.

What it is, i have to programme in one of our guys (lets call him Dave) who goes to seven buildings, every friday and does a fire alarm test.  He spends 30min at each building and im putting in 30min travel time, so 60min per building.

Retreiving a baseline, export it to P6

i am a P6 user using MS projects and need help to export a baseline. i hope some planner out there will help as i rarely use the software.

I have been given a MS project file which has under it a baseline project and labled planned programme.

i have exported the project as and XLM to Primavera P6 quite successfully using Asta Powerproject as the interface.

This does not bring across the baseline project. is there away to save the baseline programme of this project as a standalone project which i could then export as i have done for the current project ?

Removing a filter

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

Ive come back to work after the weekend and opened my programme and cant roll / unroll any of the rollable tasks, I think its because Ive applied a filter to one of my columns before saving and forgotten which column it is.

To save me adding every column I use and checking there is a filter on it (which is what I will be doing now), is there an easy way of finding out which column has a filter on it please?  (for future reference)

 

Thanks again you helpful people
