Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins
At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans. We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational. We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
the field as they create tasks.
In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code.
That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
Hope this helps,

Extracting Project information
How can I programmably extract the project build information set in the project build specification.
So I can then use the information in an ‘About’ dialog.
DaveIn the labview\resource\appbuild folder their are some VI's that can deal with build specs! They return a variant containing the data!
It's the reason I build a variant probe.
Be aware that the build info is not present in th lvproj file of the built executable!

How to make a column as read only for update integrator.
Hi All,
i came across one issue while creating integrator.
for update integrator i have column rowid.rowid is a parameter. by using this(rowid) i'am updating.i want to make rowid column as read only .
if i enable read only for rowid,then it is passing null as parameter and inserting new row instead of updating the row.
If any one came across this problem you can help me in fixing this issue.Hi Sanket,
Thanks for reply.
i have created a dummy column and passed the value of the orginal column values to dummy cloumn. and hided the orginal column.
in this process i have come across same issue. it is not passing the value as parameter and instead of updating the row it is inserting an new row.
Any alternate for this scenario.
Thanks in advance. -
How to set the read only property for dynamic ALV column
Hi All,
I have built one dynamiv ALV and I have one name column inside that ALV for which I have to set read only property based on two column fields that exist in the same ALV,say IS_SP and IS_CORP of type boolean.
If any one of the flag is 'X',i have to make that name column as display only and
If both flag are not set,it should be displayed as ediatable column.
I have written one method as INIT_ALV which gets called when ALV is loaded.
Code is as follows:
lr_column_settings ?= wd_this->alv_all_roles.
lt_columns = lr_column_settings->get_columns( ).
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_column.
CASE ls_column-id.
WHEN <NAMECOLUMN>. "name column which should be editable/display
Create Input Field
CREATE OBJECT lr_uie_input_field_ro
EXPORTING
value_fieldname = ls_column-id.
ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_uie_input_field_ro ).
After this,I have to set the read only property based on IS_SP and IS_CORP values,
CALL METHOD lr_uie_input_field_ro->set_read_only_fieldname
EXPORTING
*value = 'IS_SP' or 'IS_CORP'
ENDLOOP.
I dont want to use cell variants also.
Help me to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
DivyaDivya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another applicatio
Getting error "Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application." The file is not read only and is not in use by another application.
The same thing may happen in Windows Explorer, specifically if it is a very big file (physical size), so preparing the preview may take a lot of time.
In that case it is used by "another application", that is: Explorer.
By the way, which version of Illustrator are you using, Tetons? -
MY Hard Drive says_"YOU CAN READ ONLY" for the OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSSIONS!
I cannot add anything to my EXTERNAL (SimpleDrivePS) hard drive. When I try to copy something to it, it says "The item cannot be moved because SimpleDrivePS cannot be modified."
Upon control-clicking this external hard drive's icon, under "Get info" it says "You can read only" for it's "Ownership and Permissions."
I have used this hard drive with Windows-based computers, but not with this new Apple yet.
What do I need to do so that I can move or copy things to this external hard drive?
Also, is there a discussion room for just general questions? - There are many little things that I wonder how to do from time to time as I am trying to become accustomed with Apple, like shortcut key for desktop, or where is control panel or link to "my computer" or other shortcut keys - things like that.Hi newsppler;
Since I have never had a disk that was formatted NTFS, I am not absolutely sure exactly how you can discover how it is formatted. I think if you look at the disk with Disk Utility that should tell you.
Yes. If you reformat you will lose everything that is currently on that disk.
To reformat open Disk Utility and then select the disk. You then click the partition tab. This will allow you to select what format you wish to use. I would suggest Mac OS Extended +

Can I show correctly formatted text areas when they are read only.
Hi all,
I have an application that allows users to enter large blocks of descriptive text in a TextArea field. This is a simple TextArea field with no spell check etc and is not an HTML editor.
As part of this entry I use the normal 'return' key to enter line breaks / new paragraphs as you would expect.
This works fine and the data is stored correctly. When I extract this text, via XML, into a BI Publisher PDF document, the text is correctly formatted with line breaks where they are expected.
However, when I try and display this information on the screen, in read only mode, the line breaks are lost and all I see is a continuos block of text with no line breaks.
I am displaying this as a TextArea in a read only form (basically the page is a copy of the entry/maintenance page with all the fields set to ReadOnly = Always) and I cannot get it to display correctly. As soon as I make the field ReadOnly = Never the text dispaly OK, but then the user can go and change it.
How can I get this field to display correctly?
Many thanks,
MartinHi Dimitri,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried changing the field source to:
select replace(replace(MANUAL_STEP_TEXT,CHR(10),'
'),CHR(13),'
from tpa_rel_patches
where patch_id = :P40_PATCH_ID
and now I get:
1.Take a backup of existing jdbc driver files In all the Tiers (Admin, External & Middle Tiers)
cd $JAVA_TOP
cp jdbc111.zip jdbc111.zip_4899697
cp jdbc12.zip jdbc12.zip_4899697
cp jdbc14.zip jdbc14.zip_4899697
2.Apply the Oracle JDBC Drivers Patch using ADPATCH
u4899697.drv
Any ideas?

I'm updating my iphone 4. I can see that the update has been installed on the phone, but only for a second before it asks me to restore/back up from iCloud or iTunes, which I've done THREE times. It has to be something really simple...please HELP
Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

SD card set to read only and I can't change it
I bought a brand new 64GB SD card and used it for the first time today. I inserted it into the SD card slot on my mid 2010 MBP and copied the files to my drive. When I wanted to delete the files however, I couldn't. I tried using cmd+backspace, dragging it to the trash and even trying to erase/format the card in Disk Utility to no avail - everything was greyed out.
I've looked around to try and find a solution but can't. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I shoud do?
I've also checked if the lock switch was set to lock on the card, which it isn't. The card also appears read only on a Windows machine, and I can't change the permissions on either Mac or PC. I've also reset my PRAM as I saw this as a possible solution by another use but it hasn't worked.

"Limit the Logs to the Bits above Binary Images." No, Seriously -
I have an iMac, version 10/68, My iTunes is, reluctantly, up-to-date. I use iTunes to organize my music, with over 100 playlists, all song rated, dated,commented on, and added to as many of the playlists as they ought to be heard in. I have no use for the album covers - I don't even keep them.
Can I re-enter an earlier iTunes version without losing my comments,dates, ratings, etc? I would like to randomize the order in which songs are played wittin their playlists and I don't waant to lose th I would much prefer this to the current tedious sytem today.
Thank you so much
PS A bit of Mac history on its birthday. II had one of the first 50 Macs sold in the Washington area and made good use of it the very first time I sat down to try it. It was very expensive, over $4000 and worth every penny. I was running the office of a group of people running for political office as a team. The artist we had hired to design political flyers for each of them did not do her job, and I was able, the first time I ever touched a Mac, to design and print 20-odd flyers, with no trouble at allI I was enchanted, and have never used anything other than a Mac ever since.iTunes will always store the backups to the same drive or partition it is installed on. A couple things that might help:
-If you have multiple backups sitting there you can delete extraneous ones by opening itunes and click on the Edit menu and choosing Preferences. In the window that cames up click the Devices tab and delete the backups you don't need.
-Alternately you can move the backup files to a different location. Use this article to locate the backup files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
-If there is really not enough room on that drive, just uninstall itunes and reinstall it onto the larger drive. Make sure to follow the steps in this article if you uninstall:

User in hr can able to create records in PA30.But will give read only access for all infotypes
Hi Team,
I have created one test role in HR. It will give Read access to all info types.
But user can able to create Info type records in PA30. Please find the P_ORGIN values below.
Authorization level R
Infotype *
Personnel Area US
Employee Group 1
Employee Subgroup U*
Subtype *
Organizational Key *
OOAC values.
AUTSW ADAYS 15
AUTSW APPRO 0
AUTSW DFCON 4
AUTSW INCON 0
AUTSW NNCON 0
AUTSW NNNNN 0
AUTSW ORGIN 1
AUTSW ORGPD 4
AUTSW ORGXX 0
AUTSW PERNR 1
AUTSW XXCON 0
Note : user does not have access to any structural profile.
I suspect is this bcz, if any user has proper 0105 and 0001 in HR master data can able to create records.Bcz user will be assigned to default sap structural profile "ALL" in OOSB ?
I can see user was not assigned to "ALL" profile in OOSB or in T77UA. and user cant able to write or change infotype data in pa30.
Please suggest how the user can able to create inftotype records in PA30.(Info :0002 for example)
Appreciate Quick response.
Regards,
Venu.Sorry did not get the below comment.
"The maintain flag in the structural profile does not relate to any maintenance authorization in PA. It only affects the OM objects authorized by the structural profile. For example the user may be able to delimit a position. It will never grant any write authorization for any PA infotype "
Do you mean , suppose if we give Org unit and evaluation path like attached screen ,user will get access to only the ORG UNIT as its object type (can able to perform activities as mentioned in the role PLOG ) but cant perform any activity like address infotype change on the person (P) (as mentioned in P_ORGIN) who comes under the org unit mentioned in Structural profile ?
My understanding is that i believe user total auth is an intersection of general +structural authorization.lets take HR admin wanted to change 0002 data for some imps in org.We need to give access to that particular org to which the emps belongs to (through structural auth) and SHOULD CHECK the maintenance box in strucural auth and will access change access via role.
And user cant able to edit his own data.
Please find the Screens as requested. Please let me know if my understanding is correct or not ?

How can i get difference in base plan and actual/current plan for a project
Hi PS Experts,
How can i get difference in base plan and actual plan .
For example-
Project1 is created for 10 days (start and end date difference).
Now in between -project is extended/changed for 12 days .
What is the way to get 2 days as a difference in base plan and current plan.
Thanks
Suraj prakashHi Suraj,
You can follow a convention that -
(1) Forecast Start/Finish dates: Used only for Primary planning, once initial planning is done you should not change these dates.
Now, you will copy the same dates in Basic Start/Finish dates also.
(2) Basic Start/Finish dates: Whatever changes are done after the initial planning, you will make the changes only in Basic Start/Finish dates.
So, in Project Planning board, if you enable Forecast and Basic dates with different color coding, you can clearly see the variation in the Project schedule.
Hope this helps. -
