Generic Year

[Cloy]

I'm trying to create a project that will outline the regularly
occurring items EVERY year.

Essentially, I'm trying to build a tickler file to help us remember
the items that occur every year at the same time.

Is there an easy way to do this Project, or do I have to put in
specific dates?

Thanks! -Cloy

Cloy,
Project is a scheduling application and schedules are defined by dates.
As soon as the user enters a task, Project will automatically assign a
date based on the setting of Tools/Options/Schedule tab, the New Tasks
start on: setting.

I suggest you create your generic plan and then save it as a template
file. Project will give your generic plan dates based on the current
information. When you want to use the template for next year's
activities, open the template and run the Adjust Date utility found on
the Analysis toolbar.

Hope this helps.
