VBA

Posted Wed, 2011-08-17 13:59 by Marinus de Graaf

Hello planners,

I am using VBA in PowerProject (v 10.0.04) to import tasks and allocations from a csv-file. I am using SetUserStart and SetUserEnd (from the PermanentDemandAllocation class) to set the start- and enddate of the allocation, but I would also like to set the allocation percentage. But I can't find that specific member.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the allocation percentage using VBA?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Marinus

Project Structuring - WBS, Summary Bars, Expanded Tasks

Posted Fri, 2011-08-12 08:57 by Robert Hughes

Asta Power Project Users,

As the topic title, I was interested in what method of project structuring you use. I have always used summary bars to breakdown the project.

Summary bars have always served me well for this purpose, using activity codes as well allow filtering etc. but I was reading through the APP help files on a quiet afternoon and studying the WBS in Power Project.

I am struggling to see the benefit of the WBS as opposed to summary tasks / activity codes and was interested in you opinions.

how to add more items in code libraries

Posted Wed, 2011-08-10 12:37 by duncan burns

HI,

I'm using Asta easyplan. I'm creating a tender programme. I'm trying to put all of the different stages into different colours so I used the code libraries option and dragged the headings to the tasks and then renamed the headings.. I assumed I could just add more items into the code library by right clicking however I can't see how to add more so I'm stuck with the 6no in designers that I started with.

Can anyone tell me how to group my tender programme in colours effectively without running out.

Cheers

Editing User Rights in Asta PowerProject Enterprise

Posted Tue, 2011-06-28 11:52 by Ben Bull

Hi All,

I am looking for some help, i have been using Asta for around 18 Months and have recently been given the task of improving the way we use Power Project, it is on Enterprise.

I have reduced the amount of user views we had in the sytem (Approx. 140) we only needed 10 of these.

I now want to remove the rights for users to add and edit the existing views, i have tried all options i can think of in the Admin section of the Code Library.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Many Thanks
