MS Project 2010/2007/2003 Reports Resource Calendars, Training Toronto,Mississauga, Ontario, Even though the regular paper reports have been in MS Project they are still very useful. If an existing report does not suit your needs then you can copy and edit it. For instance to see the Resource calendars (each resource gets a copy of the Standard calendar) copy the "Resource Work" calender BUT on the Details tab click the check box for Calendar MS Project 2010/2007/2003 Reports Resource Calendars, Training Toronto,Mississauga, Ontario, Bert Twomey MS Office & MS Project Trainer

MS Project (2010, 2007, 2003 etc) all have one Standard Calendar (which is a global calendar for everyone) It is NOT a good idea to copy this and call it "My Company" calendar as then you have 2 global calendars ( I once trained a company that had 4 global calendars - yes they were confused. The resources are set up to make a copy of the Standard Calendar and you do not have to do anything. If you copy and create your own Standard Calendar "My Company" then you will have to change all the defaults - lots of work for you and zero advantage MS Project 2010/2007 training Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton Ontario Bert Twomey MS Project Trainer

MS Project 2010, Project 2007 elapsed time in Projects

When you have a waiting time such as concrete setting it is best to use elapsed time versus working days (the concrete does not take days off). There is no button/icon to do this instead type an e before the duration e.g. 2 edays or 48 ehrs. This way a 2 day waiting time from a Friday does not delay the schedule till Wednesday (2 working days)
