Macro and Report Questions

[joshroberts]

I have a couple of questions:
First, I've created a macro and was wondering if there is a way to save that
and import it on another computer or do I have to recreate it on every
different computer?
Second, I need to be able to print out a daily resource task listing which
details the tasks assigned to each resource on a daily basis. I can't seem
to find a report that shows this correctly. Thanks for your help.

From the tools menu select organizer.
Go to the macros tab and copy it from one file to another.
If you copy it into a file then open that file on the other computer you can
copy it into the global.mpt file on that computer.

Josh,
Jack answered the first question so I'll answer the second. There are
several built-in Reports that show resources and their assignments - Who
does what, Who does what when, To do list and Resource usage. Have you
tried tailoring any of these to get what you want? Another simple option
is to show the Resource Usage view itself and set the timescale to show
days.

If you have looked at all of the above and they just quite give what you
need, perhaps you could be a little more specific. Then we can help
tailor something to fit your need.

Hope this helps.
John

I figured out the Macro thing but I'm still having Report problems. I think
the "Who Does What When Report" is close to what I need but when I use it
some of the time values are to long for the columns and are replaced with
"#####." I'm sure there is an easy solution but I can't find it using MS
Project 2000. Also, is there any way to show who does what each hour of the
day, so I know exactly when a task must start rather than 2.3 hours on one
day. Ideally I'd like to be able to print out one day's schedule. Is this
possible? Thanks for your help.

Hi joshroberts,

To fix the #### problem in the report, edit the "Who Does What When" report
and on the details tab, change the date format to a longer format (for
example: 1/28/02).

Unfortunately, the smallest time measure for the report is days. As John
mentioned the only option I can come up with is to set the Resource Usage
view to a timescale to show days and hours and then print that view. You
could filter the view using the "In Progress Assignments" filter to hide any
tasks not currently being worked on.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
