From: John on 18 Nov 2009 14:03 Hi! When I track the progress of the project by entering the hours of work done (3rd radio button in the project guide window – “Always track by entering the hours of work done per time period”) I notice a behavior of MS Project that I can't explain: When I enter a value of actual work for a task that is grater than work value, MS Project augment the work value in order to be equal with actual work value for that task! On the other hand if I decrease actual work, the work value don't alter! What it means this behavior? I cant explain it! I use MS Project 2003 thanks
From: Rod Gill on 18 Nov 2009 14:53 This is a behavior that happens in all project versions. Setting Actual work greater than original work by definition means that the work for the task has increased. Set actual work less than work and you have remaining work left to do. If not, you need to set remaining work to zero. This is by design and desirable. If you need to know what the original work was then you look to the baseline work value. -- Rod Gill Microsoft MVP for Project Author of the only book on Project VBA, see: http://www.projectvbabook.com "John" <John(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4AFAD662-50B1-4B69-B2BD-8E10CF51EFD7(a)microsoft.com... > Hi! > > When I track the progress of the project by entering the hours of work > done > (3rd radio button in the project guide window – “Always track by entering > the > hours of work done per time period”) I notice a behavior of MS Project > that > I can't explain: When I enter a value of actual work for a task that is > grater than work value, MS Project augment the work value in order to be > equal with actual work value for that task!
