From: Eddie on 1 Mar 2010 23:54 I am using MS project 2007. Looking at your resource allocations/resource sheet, I want to replace a resource between specific dates with in my schedule. The resource is allocted to numerous tasks. I don't want to use Task Usage and do it manually, it is very time consuming. There has to be a simple way of replacing a resource for a period of time within a project schedule. The resource will not be replace permanently. My problem is that resources are moving in and out of the project on a regular basis and keeping track of all tasks and resource usage with in the task is time consuming. I had a look at MS Project 2010 but it does not have the feature of replacing resources with in specific times.
From: Rod Gill on 2 Mar 2010 02:52 One approach is to assign skills rather than individuals so there is no need to swap. Otherwise you need to: Select all Tasks for which the Resource is to be swapped, Click the Assign Resources Icon (or Alt+F10). Select the resource to swap out, Click the Replace button. Select the new resource and click OK. All remaining work is swapped. -- Rod Gill Microsoft MVP for Project - http://www.project-systems.co.nz Author of the only book on Project VBA, see: http://www.projectvbabook.com "Eddie" <Eddie(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0B5B721D-16ED-47E9-A5E3-132FEA69A33B(a)microsoft.com... > I am using MS project 2007.

From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 2 Mar 2010 08:13 Eddie -- In addition to Rod Gill's excellent answer, you can quickly locate the tasks assigned to the resource between specific dates by applying the Using Resource in Date Range filter. Then use Rod's steps to "swap" the assigned resource with another resource. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
