Copy/Paste Resources in Project Professional 2010

I have a Project Server 2010 environment running SP2 and patched to April 2014. I use Project Professional 2010 patched up to same level. I am trying to copy/paste resources from one project to another, but the popup states that the resource is not found
in the enterprise resource pool, do I want to add as a local resource. The project from which I am copying the resources are in the enterprise pool. Both projects are in the server. Why can't I do this?

Tom --
The bigger question is why you are not adding resources to your enterprise projects using the Build Team dialog. That is the approach I would recommend. I believe that if you do the copy and paste of resources from one enterprise project to another,
then the project in which you paste the resources treats the pasted resources as local resources until you first save the project. Then the software should display a dialog indicating that a local resource has the same name as an enterprise resource,
and ask you if you want to replace the local resource with the enterprise resource. Is that the behavior you are seeing? Either way, I would still recommend you use the Build Team dialog rather than copying and pasting enterprise resources.
Hope this helps.

How to remove over allocated resource in project professional 2010

I'm new to MPP 2010, as I have admin access got some problem with one project. The project has reached finish date(august 2013) and the remaining work is zero, but still the task is not getting complete because of constraint "The task has resource assigned
which is over allocated". since the resources have submitted time sheet i'm not sure if I make any changes in MPP now it will affect the data in the Reports.
Please can anyone suggest on this.

Hi Chaishashi,
The fact that the resource is overallocated should not stop the task being completed. What is the %complete and the %work complete on the task? Are you able to share a screen shot of your issue?

Dropdowns and many buttons disabled in PWA 2007 after Microsoft Project Professional 2010 has been installed

Hi Team,
I have Microsoft Project professional 2007 installed and also using PWA for 2007.
I recently installed Microsoft Project Professional 2010, and since the time i installed 2010 all the button in PWA 2007 have been disabled.
1. I could not select a project from "Project Center"
2. I could not select resources from "Manage Resources"
3. I could not select dropdowns in the project properties even if the project is selected.
ALl the other team members are able to use both without any issues.
I also uninstalled IE8 browser and re-installed, that didn't help.
I could use PWA normally after 2010 is uninstalled.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Try running a repair on Project Professional 2007. You always have to do this after installing a newer version of project. Always run a repair on the previous version. What's happening is that PWA is not seeing 2007 on your machine because 2010 overwrote
some of the shared objects.

Activating Project Professional 2010 after a crash

hi there:-
I am looking to reactivate/reinstall Project Professional 2010 after a crash. I have a product activation code having downloaded the software online (no disks). What do I need to do?
Much obliged
Tom

Tom,
It should be pretty straightforward. I assume you saved a copy of the .img file you downloaded to a location that was safe from your crash. Without that you're probably out of luck.
Just re-install from the .img file and when the installation gets to the part for activation, go ahead and activate it.
Hope this helps.

Project Professional 2010 and pwa hangs when opening a linked project from PWA on Project Server 2010

When I open a linked project in Project Professional 2010 from PWA, Project Professional 2010 hangs with the "Links Between Projects ..." dialog box open. Unable to move or close the dialog box. Unable to move or close Project Professional
2010. The PWA tab on internet explorere is frozen and unable to access although other tabs in IE are accessible. End up having to reboot to close down project or force the process to end. I suspect a hidden dialog box is the culprit maybe
the scheduling conflict dialog box but am unable to access or switch and cannot confirm that there is another dialog box.
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Julie

I have seen it hang when trying to open a project schedule even with no external links.
Project 2013 Pro, Link to schedule is on a PWA on a Project 2007 server.
If Project 2013 is open before clicking on the link, there is a long delay and the project schedule opens up in the web tab where the link was selected. If Project 2013 is not open, it just hangs and has to be shut down via the task manager.
No idea why. I can create a link to the shared volume and that works OK. But if I actually try to open MS Project by clicking on the link to a .mpp file it never opens in MS Project.

Project Professional 2010 Not Publishing to Project Server 2010

I am having trouble publishing a project from Project Professional 2010 to the Project Server 2010 (PWA). What I am trying to publish is a master project which is contains many enterprise projects as subprojects. When I press publish, it prompts me
to save and if I click yes then it goes through and saves all the subporjects and then just stops there and doesn't publish the changes to the master project. If I press publish and click no to the save prompt then it gives me the status "sychronizing
data to server" for around 15 seconds and then just does nothing after the sychonization finishes.
It usually should be giving a "publishing job done 0%" or "publishing job completed" when it publishes, but it gives nothing like that. I also check the project through the PWA and it has not updated yet, but when I open it for editing in the client it has
everything updated and up to date, meaning that the save is working properly and just not the publishing.
All my subprojects are able to publish correctly, it's just this master project that is not working.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is the publishing process timing out for some reason? Or is it something else?
Please help.
EDIT: The progress notification at the bottom of Project Professional just stops at "save completed sucessfully" whenever I try to publish

To check the queue, navigate to Server Settings > Manage Queue and view the jobs that are present. If there is an error when publishing you should see it in the queue.

MS Project Professional 2010 - Unable to open Project Plan from the Server.

Dear Folks,
Since morning we have been facing an issue with MS Project Professional 2010. When we try to open project plan, it takes time and then show nothing on the screen, project gets checked out to you as well but nothing comes on MS Project Professional Screen.
Strange thing, when busy mouse cursor gets released MS Project Professional show "Disconnected from the Server" message with white icon instead of globe one at the bottom of MS Project Professional and disappear after few seconds.
We are able to open small plans but the plans having 4000 lines is not able to open, Project Professional show busy status when we give it a try.
Everything seems fine to me .. Project Server connection .. queue jobs .. no issues.
What could be the possible problem and how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Hi Mohsin,
Is it happening for all users or just some of them? Is it happening for all projects? Have you tried on a different machine?
First I'd suggest to try accessing the project plan through PWA to identify wheither it is a network issue or an application issue.
Then check the Project Pro account to ensure that the connection settings to Project Server are correct. You could also try to remove the Project Server account in Project Pro and create it again.
Finally, ensure that the PWA URL is added to IE trusted sites.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
Unfortunately Project Professional 2010 will not connect to Project Online / Project Server 2013. You will need to use Project Professional 2013 to connect to Project Online / Project Server 2013. Project Pro 2010 will only connect to Project Server 2010.

Project server 2010 : Impossible to do a copy paste in a project plan

We have plenty of projects and sometimes it is impossible to do a copy paste of tasks, I select a task => right clic copy
But when I want to copy the task => paste is disabled in grey in the right clic menu
CTRL V does not work too
It is not linked to a specific project , some users has the problem , me too in new blank projects ie
What can I do ?

Which version of MS Project are you using? In case it is 2010, you should ensure SP2 is installed for all users. Since the issue is happening just for some users, it might be a version update issue.
If you already have SP2 or you install it and still have the problem, try creating a new user profile. There have been issues with user profile corruption with Office 2010 applications. Creating a new user profile generally resolves those.
Finally, go to File/Options/Advanced group/Edit options. Make sure the option to "Edit directly in cells" is checked. Not having it checked in Project 2010 causes all kinds of problems.
Hope this helps.

Copying/pasting tracks between projects

Hi guys,
I have three BIG projects, all called "Master Idea Session" 1 2 and 3, which have perhaps 50 tracks, each representing a different song idea.
I can't seem to copy/cut/paste tracks between projects.
Is there a workaround? Could I for example merge all three project files into one big copy, and then go through it and erase what's not needed? Or is there an obvious solution or a way to copy and paste between projects? Is there any way to have more than one project open simultaneously?
What I'm aiming to do is: go through all 150 ideas, find the ones that could actually be turned into songs, and copy 15 or so of the best ones to one project file. That file will be essentially 15 different songs on 15 different tracks that my bandmate(s) can intelligibly go through to see where I'm at. (To be annoyingly clear, they would probably keep all the tracks muted and unmute one to hear a single idea).
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Alec

Can't Copy/Paste betweet Two Projects

I want to copy/paste a clip (which includes 2 video and 2 audio tracks) between two projects. I open Project 1 and copy a clip. I open Project 2 and paste. But the paste does not work. The last copy I did in Project 2 (of a clip that was already in Project 2) is the only thing that pastes, not the clip that I'm bring over from Project 1. So then I went back to Project 1 and "exported" an xml sequence which contained the clip I wanted to paste into Project 2. The import into project 2 worked but still I could not copy/paste from the imported sequence to the target sequence in Project 2. I didn't want to drag he new sequence imported from Project 1 into the the sequence into Project 2 because I needed to have access to all of the original tracks. Why doesn't a regular Windows copy/paste not work and what can I do to get the clip from Project 1 to the targeted timeline in Project 2?

If all else fails, couldn't you always just import the original sequence you're trying to copy from? Open it and copy/paste into the sequence you really want it in?

MS Project Professional 2010 - Tasks and Formatting Lost

I am using MS Project to manage the SRM Program. This Program has over a thousand tasks and over a hundred milestones. As we complete tasks and milestones I am formatting the backgrounds differently for ease of use. I am shading tasks grey
and milestones yellow/green.
MS Project keeps removing my formatting. Literally, I will shade a hundred tasks grey and then MS Project will remove my formatting without prompting me.
This is getting frustrating as I have to keep insertting formatting. How do I fix this?
Is this something a Service Pack might fix or am I doing something wrong in the way I am selecting stuff?

Hi,
I'd suggest to install the latest SP of MS Project Std 2010. Then if it is not working, I'd suggest to repair it from the control panel.
Finally your file might be corrupted. In order to repair it, save your file as an XML file (change the output format from the "save as" dialog box), close Project, open again Project, open your XML file with the wisard and save it back as an MPP file.
If you are willing to dig into this issue, send me your file at guillaumeDOTrouyreATgcosiDOTcom (replace caps).
Hope this helps,

MS Project Professional 2010 - Configuration Failure - There is not enough memory to complete the operation

Windows 7 64, MS Office Pro 2010 installed add working - 4 gig of memory 500 gig + of free disk space. I get the below results when trying to start project the first time.
Tried usual admin rights stuff and turning off norton and firewall. Same results after re-install, restart,
repair, you know all the usual.
Note I borrowed the steps below from another thread that was never answered.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-project/ms-project-crash-after-configuring/e6c67a84-5749-4b19-8cbd-562189d9785c
1. Microsoft Project Professionnal 2010 popup: Configuration Progress splash screen with progress bar and yellow wave at bottom.
2. Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010 popup: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Project MUI (English) 2010, then disappears.
3. Microsoft Project 2010 logo popup with green wave at bottom.
4. Steps 1-3 repeated 3 times.
5. Microsoft Project popup: There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and try again.

I located a solution, finally! It was solved back in 2007. It is NOT a memory issue nor a conflict with other software as most of the forum advisers suggest. It is a pure MICROSOFT problem with Registry permissions. And as they provide no solution
(as of 2014 yes 7 years) one has to use a registry hacking tool to take command of the registry. The solution that worked perfectly for me is located here :

Project professional 2010: Physical % Complete field does not roll-up to the summary tasks

Hi,
I have a project plan which I need to set the physical % complete fields of it in order to use it for earned value over time report. I have assigned costed resources to come of the tasks, set all project task's earned value method to physical % complete,
and finally set a baseline. However, the physical % complete still does not get calculated for the summary tasks! It is always zero!
I have created another project with only 3 tasks and 3 resources, did the same as above, and was able to get calculated values for the physical % complete.
I followed the same procedure in both projects. In one I was able to get the physical % complete value of the summary tasks while it was always zero in the other! What may be the problem?
Regards,
George

Hi Julie,
This is what I am seeing as necessary to make Physical % complete roll up to the summary level task.
BEFORE tasks are entered, set the "Default Task Earned Value method" to Physical % complete. File > Options, Advanced. This will set both the summary and detail tasks to that method.
Add tasks
Add resources with costs.
Assign resources to tasks.
Baseline the file
Take a look at the Tracking table and enter progress in the Physical % complete field for subtasks. The value should roll up.
Sadly I don't know of anyway to force the change after the tasks have been added. You can certainly add the Earned Value Method field to a task view to confirm all is set - but I have never been able to switch mid-flight and get it to work correctly.
I did, however, just try an experiment. I created a file that did not work correctly - Physical % complete was not rolling up. I inserted it into a blank project that had the option set correctly without linking. After a bit of tweaking
(outdenting all tasks to be able to delete the "extra summary task", saving a baseline), it now appears to be working correctly.
I hope this helps.
