    Milestones and WBS codes.

    Mistype. Engineering is obviously "3.0" And you have a good point about WBS 2. I can insert there and not mess up the 3.0 series. Don't know why that didn't occur to me. I use inactive WBS 1 and WBS 2 to force WBS 3.0. This is my first foray into MS Project, as I normally work with...

    Milestones and WBS codes.

    Thanks again. Unfortunately, the Client (major pharm company) has its requirements. I have already had to write a program to extract MSP tab deliminated files into a database to generate curves for any task or summary item on demand. Uses assigned task weights and physical progress. (See...

    Milestones and WBS codes.

    Thanks. We have a "fixed" WBS structure that cannot be altered. Like, "3.1" is Engineering. Inserting a Milestone above "3.1" would, of course, alter the following WBS items. Will probably have to add the milestones at the bottom, even though they will look out of place.

    Is it possible to insert a Milestone without affecting the WBS structure?

    Date problems in Dbase III+

    I use DB3 to check calculations in software I am developing that uses DBF files. I have it installed on Windows7 Pro 32bit with XP SP2 compatibility. The problem is comparing a date to CTOD(' / / '). = or <> give the same results. If I substitute [highlight #FCE94F]>...

    Problem Installing Visual Dbase 5.5 Professional

    Although the installation hangs up (I've given up trying to install), the process leaves a couple of routines that interfer with booting up my system.

    Problem Installing Visual Dbase 5.5 Professional

    Thanks Gripper. Donated last computer, so can't try transfers. I've tried about everything, including running from command prompt after "F8" boot and attempting to install on other drives. Guess it just won't install on my XP Home Edition. I wanted to further investigate it as an...

    Trying to install on Windows XP. Hangs up while "WRITING MULTIHLP.PAK". I noticed that the cd cover states "Supports Windows 95 & Windows 3.1. Will it install under XP?

    Oh, basically that code is a box! [smile]Yeah, that section is. if it's prefixed with chr(27)+&quot;%0B&quot; most HP printers can interpret it directly. [smile]Yes, I have an option for this or plotter output file. Actually, the system generates a time phased set of planned/actual/forecast...

    Viewing HPGL files within Clipper 5.2

    I have older code that utilizes C primatives to draw graphic charts from data base files while displaying actions on screen. In the past, I used a call: Setvideomo(18) to switch to graphics screen, Setvideomo(-1) to return to text screen. This still switches to graphics screen under NT and XP...
