Hello everyone,

Thank you to all who take the time to respond to all those questions. till now I have found all the answers to my questions as they have been asked and answered before.

This one I couldnt find.

I need to convert a certain number of tasks to hammocks.
(set Activity Type = hammock)

But I cant find a way to get the SYST column to show in the export files.

and a global change I could not make it to work.

a little detail.
Activity ID’s that need to change are all L????.?S


IF ACT EQ L????.?S
THEN SYST EQ "Hammock"


does not work. (I have tried hammock, "hammock", h, and whatever has come to my mind).

any other way to do this fast??

Thank you. :)
Gün.

    Try

    C:\P3WIN\Samples\EXCEL\ACTIVITY.

    This file is also on the p3 CD

    Get the Activity’s

    Sort the Activity’s

    Change the Type to 5 (Hammock en reimport)

    And Send back to p3 (Set Activity’s)

    PS if you can not get the files PP me your email I will send you the "P3" File

    Thank you for the very fast reply. :)

    Any chance of doing this from export/import dbf file?

    Because the activity.xls file is BIG and takes a very long time to update.

    Plus I have had problems with the dates before that I have not been able to solve then. I try to steer away from the activity .xls file.

    Ok I have not been able to use export with this but what about a global change.

    Fisr Copy Your Schedule (If any Thing goes Wrong you have it still)

    It is Easy.

    First you go to Selection
    Select All
    Act ID contains L
    Act ID contains S

    Then you go to Change
    Then:STYP EQ 5

    Pre Trail Run and see if this is what you needed.

    Hi,

    Why don’t you try to change the activity type using Activity Form.
    You need to do a bit of hard work but you will get the result.

    Go to View > Activity Form > Type. Change the activity to hammock.

    OR:

    Filter the selected activities > Open column for Activity Type > type Hammock to 1st activity > Highlight the remaining activities > Edit > Fill Cell. Now you have successfully change the activities to hammock.

    Regards.

    Thank you very much. :)

    Both ways work. I really said "AHA!!!" when I saw that 5 for hammock. that was what was missing.

    I am still looking for a way to get the STYP column to show and be used in a DBF file though.

    If you come across that piece of information please send it this way. I will really appreciate it.

    Gün. :)
