Batch Printing in Project Pro 2013

Do I need to use a macro for batch printing in MS Project Pro? If so, where can I find the info on it? Thank you :)

Hi,
something like that?
Sub Print4Meetings()
ViewApplyEx Name:="&Gantt Chart", ApplyTo:=0
FilePrint PageBreaks:=False
ApplyReport Name:="Burndown"
FilePrint PageBreaks:=False
End Sub
Just record a macro while opening all views and reports you want to get printed to see the view names. Important: FilePrint will only open preview, when you do not add any parameters, I chose PageBreaks. More parameters available, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/office.vbapj.chm109(v=office.15).aspx.
Does that help?

MS Project Pro 2013 won't activate on Win 8.1 Pro

Hi there. I'm trying to install Project Pro 2013 and Visio Pro 2013 (both MAPS apps) to a Windows 8.1 Pro machine. It has a copy of Office 365 installed just in case that makes a difference. It's also using a domain login.
Anyway, If I try to activate, the key seems to be accepted but it doesn't 'stick' and once the app closes down I need to reactivate again.
Using the product key, I've tried activating at...
The First dialog when opening the app
At the "PRODUCT NOTICE. Project hasn't been activated..." bar
Programs and Features > MS Project Pro 2013 > Change > "Enter a product Key"
None of which work.
I've also tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Using our MAPS account login (something I'm trying to avoid)
Attempting the above activation in Administrator mode where possible
Is there anything else I can try?

Hello Daleos
That is very weird indeed. I don't have a good answer. Make sure that Office and Project are using the same bit version. Don't mix. For example if office is running 64-bit then make sure that Project is 64-bit.

Date and Time Submitted in Task Notes to show in Project Pro 2013

I wonder if anybody could assist.
I am running PWA 2013 and Project Pro 2013
When a resource updates a task on PWA and creates/updates the notes on the task, it pulls to the notes section for the task in Project Professional. This is great but…
Is there a way to pull the Date and Time Submitted next to the resources’ name in the note too?
I would appreciate any assistance.
Many Thanks :)

Hi,
I don't think this is feasible out-of-the-box. Note that the information is available in the task details when you click on the task (either in the task update page or in the approval center).
A workaround would be to train the users to start their comments by typing their initials and the date-time.
Another way more complex would be to do some custom code.
Hope this helps,

Project Pro 2013 with Project online

I want to confirm that Project Pro 2013 can connect to Project online in the same way that Project Pro for O365 does. In other words, is it largely a licensing difference in the way the two products are licensed?

Hi,

Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013

Hello,
As I already have Project Pro 2013 installed on my PC (which is able to connect to Project Online) I'm not sure if the MS Project I'm using is Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013.
Is there any difference in the interface of the 2 products, as there is a noticeable difference between Word 2013 and Word Web App?
Thanks

Hello,
Project Pro 2013 is the same product as Project Pro for Office 365.
Word 2013 and Word Web App are totally different, Word Web App is web based, Word 2013 is the client tool.

Project Pro 2013 60 Day Trial....didn't last 60 days

I download and installed the Project Pro 2013 60 day trial and it disabled most of the features after about 7 days. Does anyone know if this can be fixed so that I can use the entire 60 days?
Many thanks in advance if you know the answer.

Soloanom, I anticipate you might be bounced around with a problem like this, but I think that what you're experiencing is due to the design or a problem with the project product itself, and so you'll need to ask the office experts over in the office-related
forums for assistance.
Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.)
who post their question in this forum in error, but please don’t ignore it. The links I share below I’ve collected to help you get right where you need to go with your issue.
Soloanom, the two links in this paragraph are your best bet: For technical issues with Microsoft products that you would run into as an
end user of those products, one great source of info and help is
http://answers.microsoft.com, which has sections for Windows, Hotmail,
Office, IE, and other products. Office related forums are also here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/contact-us-FX103894077.aspx.
For Technical issues with Microsoft products that you might have as an
IT professional (like technical installation issues, or other IT issues), you should head to the TechNet Discussion forums at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product name.
For issues with products you might have as a Developer (like how to talk to APIs, what version of software do what, or other developer issues), you should head to the MSDN discussion forums at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product or issue.
If you’re asking a question particularly about one of the Microsoft Dynamics products, a great place to start is here:
http://community.dynamics.com/
If you really think your issue is related to the subscription or the TechNet Website, and I screwed up, I apologize! Please repost your question to the discussion forum and include much more detail about your problem, that could include screenshots
of the issue (do not include subscription information or product keys in your screenshots!), and/or links to the problem you’re seeing.
If you really had no idea where to post this question but you still posted it here, you still shouldn’t have because we have a forum just for you! It’s called the Where is the forum for…? forum and it’s here:

How to make Project Template in MS Project Pro 2013

Dear All,
is there any method by which Standard Template can be build in MS Project Pro 2013 as Global Calendar etc?
As far as i know, we can do this in PWA once we made EPT but looking something by which if project manager wants to create any project then he can choose such template in MS project Pro 2013 itself?
Is there any way?

Just to add on to Guillarme's reply, this might help, if you want to create projects and templates directly in Project Pro 2013, this might help:

MS Project Pro 2013 - Auto Level (Not responding)

Hi,
One of our users has an issue in MS Project Pro 2013 with Automatically levelling (See below). Can anyone suggest what the possible cause of this is? The user is running Windows 8.1 Pro and more than enough RAM + Graphics card is fine.
I would start with the both the Resource Pool and Sharer projects open (as I’m supposed to). When I select ‘Auto Level’, MS Project would then turn the mouse
into a swirl circle and state (Not Responding) at the top of the page. If I hovered over the MS Project symbol pinned to my task bar, I would notice that it had opened a third window, though I couldn’t see what that project was as it was greyed out.
I tried this a number of times and had the same result.
Thank you

Intellitrain --
Given the fact that no one else has replied to your post, let me just take a stab at it. A couple things come to mind:
Is the project in question a LARGE project with a large number of tasks and resources (maybe numbering in the thousands of tasks and resource assignments)? If this were the case, leveling all overallocations at once would take a long time, which could
be why the software seems to go into Not Responding mode. By the way, I have seen Not Responding messages a lot in Project Server 2010 and 2013 when opening a very large enterprise project. Microsoft Project shows the Not Responding message, even
though it is actually working at opening the project.
If the project is not a large project, but is smallish in size, then the user might try opening both the project and the shared resource pool file in Read/Write mode, disconnecting the project from the shared resource pool file, saving and closing both
files. Then the user should reopen both the project and the shared resource pool file, reconnect them, and save both of them again. Then try leveling. Does the problem still occur.
If this does not help, there is a possibility that the project is corrupted. If this is the case, the user should disconnect the project from the shared resource pool file and save it. Then the user should save the file as an XML file and close
the project. Finally, the user should open the XML file and save it back as an MPP file. This is how to resolve a corrupted MPP file.
Just a few thoughts. Hope this helps.

Cut and Paste with MS Project Pro 2013

We have and issue where if we try to Copy and Paste a task in MS Project Pro 2013, the PASTE option is not highlighted and we cannot do this. We can copy and paste field in the project but not a task. The task include enterprise fields and I tried to Cut
and Paste even in off-line mode and it does not work.
Anybody has an idea?
Thanks

Hi Johan,
This normally happens when a sort is applied to the view. Sorting by ID then solves the problem.

Project Server 2013 - Graphical Indicators - Not showing until the project is published via Project Pro 2013

Greetings -
I have a custom field on a PDP that is used to manually flag a project for review. Once the field is set to "Flag" a red flag should show on the Project Summary page prompting the Portfolio Manager to follow up. The red flag only appears
after publishing the project via Project Pro 2013 not by just editing the PDP via Explorer (Save and Check in).
This occurs on both projects that were created prior to the graphical indicator being added to the PDP and new projects.
Now if instead of using the red flag graphical indicator I just used the text "FLAGGED" that would work fine.
So is this a bug? Or is something setup incorrectly? Or is this how PWA is supposed to handle graphical indicators on the project summary page?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Gunnery,
I made the following test: I create 2 project ECF both inserted in the Project details PDP:
for review: flag type field with graphical indicator in case value = yes
for review_2: text type field (with a yes/no look-up table) with graphical indicator in case value = yes
Whitout going to Project Pro, I'm able to modify the 2 fields for any project (created before or after the ECFs creation) and the graphical indicators are instantaneously shown in the summary project center view (just pressing F5).
Note that the graphical indicator is not shown in the PDP, just the text value. Note also that I've not been to Project Pro neither to PWA/schedule PDP to publish the project plan.
Then
Does that correspond to your need? Can you reproduce this example and validate wheither or not it works.

Saving MPP to SharePoint 2013 site from Project Pro 2013 fails

When syncing from MS Project Pro 2013 to SharePoint 2013 it does not save the MPP file in the Site Assets
Have MS Project Pro 2013, SharePoint 2013, IE 9, Windows 7
The scenario is as follows.
1. Have a SharePoint Project site
2. I open up the task list in the SharePoint site and added tasks just using the available default fields that are provided. NO external links
are in the task list.
3. Selected the Open with MS Project option in the task list ribbon. MS Project 2013 launched from my desktop with the task list opened in it.
4. In Project selected the Sync with SharePoint option and it did sync successfully with task list but it did NOT save the project file in the
SharePoint site. In addition, No error or warning message appeared.
5. Selected Save button in MS Project – again it did not save to SharePoint but instead brought up the Save As screen again.

Karen,
To the best of my knowledge synching a Project file with a SharePoint task list and saving the project file to a library on SharePoint are two separate processes.
You may synch the file to the SP list and then save the Project file to a library. Are you using Project Server?

Project Pro 2013 client Deployment with Lync 2010 and Team Explorer Excel Issues Following

Current machines are Office 2010 SP1 or SP2 32-bit
Just deployed Project 2013 Pro and Std to the existing machines that had Project 2010 Pro or Std. We selected the full install since people use integration into different tools.
Results:
lync 2010 64-bit when attending a meeting prompted user to start using and download the Lync Web Component, which breaks features such as muting, etc.
A repair sent to the workstations for Lync 2010 64-bit fixed that.
Team Explorer 2012 Export to excel from queries gives error Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation failed because
the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: The interface is unknown. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B5).
Repair of Team Explorer, Office, Test Manager 2012, etc did not assist. if we go into excel and connect to TFS, we can then retrieve the query data. Just not from TFS exporting to excel. Had to unload Project 2013, repair Office 2010
and rebooted with project off the machine and now it works. It seems maybe the setup with the shared features and Office tools are breaking something? We need the ability for VBA and .net functionality, but what could be breaking this?

Hi,
Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
these are the issues I've seen:
Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"logging"= "voicewarmup"

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.

Project Server and Project Pro 2013 - Tasks not allowing Uncomplete Work to be rescheduled

We are current;y running Project Server 2013 on Premise and using timesheets to update task status. We are using the proactive task scheduling to let the allocations, work and dependencies drive the schedule to get accurate project finish dates.
We have several projects that give an error stating "Change would modify work entered by a team member" and "We can't make that change because Project Web App is set to only allow actual work to be entered by a team member through Timesheets
or My Work" when setting the status date and Updating the Project and selecting reschedule Uncompleted Work to start after the status date. We have determined that usually it is only a single task causing the error. we have tried to remove the resource
when no actuals have been entered but we get the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul,
Looks like the settings "Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets" has been enabled on your PWA (under Server Settings >> Task Settings and Display).
But the setting is used to prevent any updates to actual work from project pro, and will throw the error you mention above, if a PM tries to update the actual work.
I am not sure why the "Rescheduling of uncompleted work" would thrw this error, but worth checking that setting.
