Assigning priorities in 2000

[ABH]

General question. Does project allow task priorities in
the defined range of 0 to 1000? I have tried to isolate
groups of tasks in 550/530/520 bands and this performs the
resource levelling (set to Priority, Standard) correctly.
When I close the project however, these values are lost
and all default to 600.

Yours confused, Alan Barrington-Hughes

Hi,

Project shouldn't change the priorities. Does this happen on another PC? Is
there a macro in Project or another system that might be editing data in
your project?

Because we have a mixed bag of licenses (98 and 2000), the
project has to be saved in '98 format and it happens on
all the PCs.

From looking at the VB help for the pjPriority class, it
is appears to be an enumerated type with only 10 values,
so I wonder whether project only allow priorities in
multiples of 100. I have not seen any M$ examples with
values not divisable by 100.

The only macros in the project perform levelling, but
nothing can change the task priority.

Have you tried to save a project with three tasks
priorites set

Kind regards, Alan

Haha!
98 only has 10 levels, so when you save a file as Project 98 you lose the
finer granularity.
When staying in the 2000 environment, you can use all numbers between 0 and
1000 and they will stay like that.
HTH
