Hi,
I’m currently a very basic user of this software and need help with the creation of a Forward Resource Prog.
Basically I have approx 15 individuals to which various projects/tasks are assigned.
I need to be able to view all of these individuals and their assigned tasks in a single Gantt chart. It’s my intention to have the individual’s name under which their tasks will be indented.
The problem is that I need the Gnatt Chart to show holiday periods for each individual in order that I can see when they are on leave and how this affects the projects they are currently assigned.
I know that you can assign each task with a resource and that the software will extend the period allocated by the number of non-working days that fall within that period, but it only extends the bar rather than automatically split the bar or shade the chart with non-working time which is really what I need it to do.
I’m currently using the 2000 edition of Microsoft Project
Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated.
Regards
Damian

1. MS Project (MSP 2007 included) does not know what a resource bar chart is; therefore the only way to display resources and their task or non-working day allocations would be to use the Using Resource view; this view is a table, not a chart
2. To display resources work and non-work allocations separately, you will have to allocate resources to tasks that represent regular work AND to "tasks" that represent non-work period; obviously you will NOT use resource calendars as well
3. If you insist for viewing the tasks in a bar chart instead of a table, I only know the 2 following ways: a) MS Project Server and project Web Access, that know what a resource bar chart is (but a resource bar chart in PWA is for individual resources, not for entire projects), and this solution is rather expensive; b) ask this friend of mine http://www.stk-management.fr/ about his solution to build a resource gantt chart from the regular task gantt chart of your project.
Hope this helps
Alexandre
