Hi,
This is a nice tool. I am running the Macro, but I get a run-time error '1101'
"The argument value is not valid"
in the line:
Set pTSV = ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.TimeScaleData(tbStart.Value, tbEnd.Value, TimescaleUnit:=cboxTSUnits.Value)
Can someone Help me??
Regards
Check the settings for timescale in the main form.

No..the PMP is a joke, meant for people that are administrators. I'm an Enterprise Architect and a PM. And I've designed/architected and managed $5M budgets at IBM/GBS. PMP types are very much looked down upon by anyone that you'd really want to work for it. PMP types are the "slipped through the system" people that have little or no technical or technical management experience. They are transactional, not analytical thinkers. They'd make good bank tellers I'm sure. I do not hire them, as a rule.

Wrote the PMP exam, dind't pass on 1st try. Not fair that it doesn't provide the details of the questions you've answered incorrectly.
I had many questions correctly on the exam since I've studied for 3 months and can answer questions by the teacher, on the fly.
I've conducted the PMBOK guide exam booklet and had 85-90% on every chapter. Conducted 400 questions and had a score of 80%.
I am very suspicious since my teacher says, there's only a 45% passing rate on writing the exam on the 1st try. This is very low. To me, this is a cash grab since the exam results are not exposed and fail you in order to come and fork out another $275US to re-write. This is a scam and PMI should be audited and investigated.

I heard that SP1 also resolved the Auto Scheduled Task Sync Issue with Sharepoint Calendar, is it True?
I believe that is the case, but with any thing, test it first before you believe it. -Jack

Im using 2010 and have set up a user defined duration field I have named "Delta Start" set to "ProjDateDiff([Current Date],[Scheduled Start])". This gives the difference between the current date and the start of the activity - if it is positive it is in the future, negative it is in the past. then my filter is [Delta Start]

PMP is beneficial. many jobs in the industry are only reserved for PMP holders. so in my opinion PMP is good.

Hi again Jack,
I appreciate how you've documented your progress of getting your PMP Certification. I intend to read through each part but couldn't help but feel compelled to jump straight to the end to read the "success story".
I've read some comments here that some of the theory in the test is common sense. I agree with your responses where you state that it's not entirely true, as the PMI is specifically testing the theoretical basis of the knowledge you may inherently understand as a project manager.
Having done the test now, has your perspective of the the PMI or the test itself changed in any way?

What kills me about Microsoft Project is not only is it terribly put together, it produces inaccurate results. I think that Project is where all those damn Mr. Clippy's have gone to hide. I try to behave, I really do. I keep my eyes down and do have no hard coded dates. Try to be as humble as possible so as not to incur the ire of Microsoft Project God, but still my I feel Microsoft's wrath as control over my own project is taken away from my end those gremlin Clippys do their changes.
What is truly sad, is that despite nearly unanimous agreement of Microsoft Project's horribleness, they continue to take 99% of the market. Can't some company please rebel and allow us to seek out better alternatives?

Hi,
I'm just beginner of Ms project 2010. But I have experience in Primavera P6 software. For resource usage graph in P6 I can generate both early and late date data and curves. But in Ms Project, I can see only early dates data. So how can I generate late data in Ms Project? Thanks.
AlinZ
---------------------------------------------
In Project you can only see either Early or Late, but not both at the same time. To show late, go to the Project menu, select Project Information and choose to schedule tasks from the end of the project instead of the beginning. -Jack

How do you cheat at scam? I mean lets be real here you don't become a good project manager by studying and taking classes by PMI which is only trying to make money pimping their product.
It is a bit like saying someone is a cheat because they tried to count card in a card game where the dealer is using a market deck....
The whole thing of PMP certification is a scam, any certification loses all credibility when the company offering the certification just so happens to offer the testing material and courses to maintain the certification.

@ Alex ... I have to chuckle reading your comment, because you don't need ByRef to recurse in VBA. The main reason for the chuckle is I learned ByRef AFTER building recursive routines, and it would have been awful handy at the start.

Actually, "\" operator is not as simple as doing the regular division and discard the non-integer remainder as you mentioned, you can try this:
9.5 / 2.4 = 3.95833333333333
9.5 \ 2.4 = 5

This is for the users that are looking for sites that have info on motorcycle building and mechanics. www.dansmc.com
This website is great it has everything you need to know to be able to build your own motorcycle, or restore/repair a used one. This is like actually taking a Motorcycle Course
you go in detail step by step about everything you need to know plus some extra. If you're interested in building your own bike, or want to be able to repair other peoples bike you could do so after familiarizing yourself with all the info on this site. The best part is that it is completely free.
