assigning a group of people to a task

[Fred]

Is there a way of assigning a group of prople to a task by just
selecting a single resource ?

What we have is a team of implementers with 6 people in the team. In an
implementation any or all of them could be working on the task(s) and
need to record their time on Project Central (btw, we are still on
Project/2000). These 6 people are all in the same Group and, if
possible, I would like to be able to automatically assign them all the
task(s) without having to go through and select them one by one.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how this could be achieved, i'm
anticipating some form of VBA - AssignTeam with a %age assignment for
each member but not sure how best to approach.

Regards

OK, hangs head in shame, why didn't I think of this before, Record a
macro of adding the names, one by one, save it and put it on the tool
bar. Once the names have been added the %ages can be easily amended.

Hi Fred,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Why not call the group, say,"Workers", make their Max. Units 600% and then
just assign a Worker to each task.
