Project Start date is 02.06.2013

Piling Work Starts on 02.06.2013 by default, duration is 90 days, end date of piling is  say, 01.09.2013

My resource , the piling rig will be mobilized by 03.09.2013. I have choosen the availability of resource from 03.09.2013 to 01.12.2013.

MSP Task Inspect informs that the task has to be rescheduled, when I click the reschedule button nothing is changing.

Help Please - how to date range in MS Project including items in progress

Morning all,

I'm trying to run a report for a project manager who wants a list of all tasks for the next 4 weeks. Not just those that start or finish during this time but those that are ongoing and will be ongoing during this time frame. I'm using project 2007 and the only date range I can find utilises start and finish of tasks which won't capture something that started 2 months ago but is ongoing for the next 3 months thus taking place during the next 4 weeks.

Any ideas how this can be done?

Different Display of Project End Dates when opening same file

Hi all,

I am presently faced with the following issue:

The supplier has submitted a MSP file to both me and another planner. However, when we open the file, both of us see different Project completion dates. Both our settings and file source being the same, how is this happening? Is there any way to resolve this?

 

Warmest Regards,

Benjamin

Task Summary Name field in Task Views (MSP2007)

Hi,

I'm trying to create a view showing tasks that are in work or due to start over the next three months, but leaving the summary tasks in makes the view quite confusing. I am trying to show the summary task name in a separate filed alongside the task name. Currently, the solution I have is to use a test field and manually copy the summary task names into it.

However, just wondering if it is possible to make the "Task Summary Name" field available in the Task Views? In MSP2007, it appears to be only available in the Resource Views.

Many thanks.
