Hi,

I have a master planning for a team of developers that tells them on
which project they need to work. I use priorities to have the resource
levelling done.

Is the following possible with MS project? I have someone assigned to a
task last week. For whatever reason, this person could not do this task,
or only partly. I fill in the actual work so project knows how much has
been done. I now want to redo the resource levelling, as of now, and I
want MS project to move the task of last week to a point after today, as
it was not finished. So I don't want to leave it in the past (last
week).

Thanks

Cedric

Tools/Tracking/Update Project and then opt to update selected tasks
would appear to be what you require. You need to do this before you
re-level.

This does the trick, but only sort of. My project file only contains
links to other projects, as it consolidates all the projects. The option
"entire project" does not work. For selected tasks, it works, but it
skips some tasks. No idea why. The only constraints I have on tasks is a
"start no earlier than".

So I come close, but have to inspect manually for tasks the tool
"forgot".
