Microsoft Project 2013 - Finish-date drop-down arrow

When I enter a finish date with year at 2000, 2001, ... and beyond, then click the right drop down arrow, to adjust the date via., calender view, the calender view is at 2079. I have no
idea why it jumps forward 79 years, but obviously it makes it impractical to use the calender view to make minor date adjustments.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
Pardon my bumping in but let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. You use the term "calendar view" but I don't think that is what you meant. In Project the Calendar View is a whole separate defined view. You can find it on the ribbon under View/Task
views group. One of the reasons I don't think you really mean the Calendar View is that I'm not aware of any right drop down arrow anywhere on that view, but then I don't have Project 2013.
So, for clarity sake, do you really mean the small calendar that pops up when you activate a date field cell (e.g. Start, Finish, etc.) and then hit the selection arrow, (which is on the right side)?
This may seem like a small thing but more than once have we gone round and round trying to help a user when part of the problem was a misunderstanding due to incorrect terminology.
One other thing. I assume you realize that by entering dates directly into the Start for Finish fields, you will be setting a constraint on that task.
With that, I'll leave it to Guillaume.

Microsoft Project 2013 - Text under Task Names not formatting for Critical Path to different color (e.g. red)

I am working with MS Project 2013 Professional
I am trying to format the text for Critical Path items under the 'Task Name' column to stand out as red - but it does not seem to be working
This is what I do - I go to "Format" tab, "Text Styles" "Critical Tasks" and then set Color as red, click OK. The text does not change form the default black.
Earlier, I had formatted the whole of that column "Task Name" as "Automatic Color" - that seems to have triggered this off
See attached screenshot
How can I fix this?
Thanks
HardCore Scheduler
P.S. I couldn't find the answer to any similar question in this forum

HardCore Scheduler --
Your mistake was formatting the Task Name column with Automatic Color, as this overrides the setting in the Text Styles dialog. Here is how to fix it:
In the View section of the Task ribbon, click the Gantt Chart pick list button (drop-down arrow) and select the Reset to Default Item on the menu.
Click the Yes button when prompted in a confirmation dialog.
Widen columns as needed and scroll the Gantt Chart pane back to the beginning of the project.
Click the Format tab to display the Format ribbon.
Select the Critical Tasks checkbox in the Bar Styles section of the ribbon.
Click the Text Styles button in the Format section of the Format ribbon.
In the Text Styles dialog, click the Item to Change pick list and select Critical Tasks.
Set the Color pick list to Red and then click the OK button.
This should display what you want to see. Hope this helps.

Microsoft Project 2013

Hello. I am very new to Microsoft Project and only have been using it for about a week or so. I am creating a timeline and there is no indication that there is any error with my timeline. But my start and finish dates are not right, but the duration is correct.
I have my duration as 200 days. My start date is 10/15/2013. My end date, however, is 2 years ahead and is 6/7/2015. The duration between those two dates is 600 days, when the project is only supposed to be 200 days. I somehow have a 400 day gap, which I have
no idea how that happened. I could really use some help. I have been trying to fix this for hours. If it helps, my schedule is:
Default start time: 12:00 AM
Default end time: 12:00 AM
Hours per day: 24
Hours per week: 168
Days per month: 30
and I have a fixed duration and my work is entered in days.
Also, I have weekends as working days, so I have a 7 day work week.
Help would be most appreciated!!

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Drop down arrows on web parts don't appear to do anything. Bad installation? (2 questions)

I am working with SharePoint 2010 Foundation. When I add a web part (a library, list, calendar, etc.) to the main page of my site, the body of the web part is fine. However, there's a problem with the drop down arrow on the far right side of
the Title of the web part. The last installation of SharePoint 2010 I worked with, that drop down arrow called up the Web Part Menu. In this current installation, it does nothing. This makes it difficult to define a view for the web page.
I'm assuming that the installation of SharePoint Foundation 2010 didn't quite work right or my security is set incorrectly. (SharePoint is new to the organization and I have the best user skills.) What does IT need to do to make the menu appear?
I also have SharePoint Designer 2010 installed on my desktop. I can open Web Part Properties in SharePoint Designer 2010, but Views does not appear on this menu, either. Is this just a limitation with SharePoint Designer 2010, or is this something
that IT also needs to fix (and how)?

Hi Fredrik,
add the sharepoint site to the Compatibility View mode in your browser.
I'm sure that you know how to do it but well... here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
It looks like you are using Internet Explorer 11...

CSS sheet covers up date drop down, and other Date field issues

Portland needs a little help once again.
My CSS stylesheet object acts like it has a higher "zIndex" then the date dropdown on an inputField. This causes me to only see half the calendar or none of it. Anyone else seen this and how did you get around it.
Also, When I test my BSP page the date drop downs, tables, etc all look great. However when the BSP page is rendered on an iView in EP6.0 they look terrible. Colors change, etc. What is happening here and how do I get around it.
Much Thanks in Advance,
Anthony

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow is, there used to be a drop down arrow to skip back many pages. After installing 4.0.1, it has disappeared. How do I get it back?

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow button is to go back to previous webpages, there used to be a drop down arrow just to the right so I can see many of my previous web pages. Since installing Firefox 4.0.1, that arrow disappeared.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

The tab list drop down arrow has disappeared and can't be restored through the customize dialog.

The dropdown arrow used to be there, as well as the tab scroll arrows when many tabs are open. But both suddenly disappeared. When I bring up the customize dialog, I can then see the drop down arrow in the tab bar, but if I click restore default set and close the customize dialog, there is still no dropdown arrow. If I open the customize dialog and drag the arrow into the dialog, it shows up there. But if I try to drag it back to the tab bar and then click Done, it still does not appear.

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

How do I configure a dynamic table with Data-Drop Down selections to store separate values?

I am attempting to use LiveCycle to create an Order Form that uses an ODBC to a SQL database. When a user makes a selection, a separate column in the table references the "Item #" associated in the SQL table, and generates a corresponding barcode.
My problem is that when I select an Item from the drop down list, all the items in the table change. What am I missing here to separate the rows as different line items? I tried adding a [*] to the end of the connection string, and that allows me to select different options but does not generate the "Item #" or "Barcode" field.
The screenshot below shows the basic form. When I select any of the data drop downs, all of the Items change.
I used the auto generated script for the "Add Row +" button shown below. Is this my issue? Or do I need to alter the way I'm setting up the Data Binding in for my Data Drop Down?
this.resolveNode('Table1._Row1').addInstance(1);
if (xfa.host.version <8) {
xfa.form.recalculate(1); }

Actually I have No idea as How to get a Result set into an ArrayList or Collection. Please tell me how to do this Dynamically. I have like 25 records in that Database table, but they will grow, so I would really appreciate to know the code to do this. I suspect my problem is in the bolded part of my code.
Thank you very much Sir.

Can't Create PDF from Microsoft Projects 2013

I am trying to PDF a Microsoft Projects 2013 files. I've tried print PDF and save as PDF but both options give me a pop up window that says "Creating Adobe PDF" with a progress bar displayed with 3 blue bars filled. I leave it that way for about an hour and nothing happens. I've tried updating the Adobe Acrobat and Repairing it in the Programs and Features menu. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the prompt response. I don't know how to print-to-file and open the file in Distiller. The printing as PDF doesn't even work. It gives me the "Creating PDF" pop up window to which there is no end to. (see photo above) As for updating to version XI, my colleagues who are running Acrobat X Standard with MS Projects 2013 do not have a problem at all when printing. I want to avoid upgrading if version X is still usable. Any other thoughts?

Data Drop-Down list

I have a table with 2 columns: code, description and I view the descriptions in the data drop-down list (4 lines). it works.
I want that if I type a new string in the drop-list (it works) - so it should be added to the table as a new record, so the next time I would
go in to the form, it would show me 5 lines in the list.
How can I do it???

Where is the drop down arrow next to the back and forward buttons that provided a list of previously viewed web pages?

before firefox 4.0 i was able to go straight to a page several pages back by clicking the drop down arrow, then clicking the desired site address. now i have to click the back button over and over until i reach the desired site. what a pain! absence of this feature alone makes me want to go back to version 3.6XXX

I was also desperate no to find my arrow after updating Firefox so I did some research --which by the way is quite difficult when you do not know what to call that arrow-- but thankfully I arrived here fairly quickly.
It saves me half an hour of research, so thanks ^^
I never would have guessed that you had to right-click... I tried it a couples of times and have to agree with gk2011, it is not very convenient.
Well, I suppose I shall try the addon then.

Drop down arrow content

I just remembered another question regarding my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. The dropdown arrows with option choices doesn't work on my tablet either. Any help out there? Thanks.

Drop down arrows...where? Some apps have different ways to set options. What options are you trying to set?

MSS: Team View Data drop down auto refresh

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if it is possible in the Team View for MSS to be able to automatically refresh the Team View when the drop down changes. Right now, when a user chooses the Display drop down (Employees or Org Units and Positions, in our case), the Data drop down options automatically refresh, BUT, when you choose an option from the Data drop down, nothing changes on the screen. You have to click on the refresh button on the screen, and it will then update.
We have played around with the C_REFRESH and G_REFRESH options, and we get a refresh button in the Team view, but nothing happens with the drop down.
Anyone have an idea as to what can be done to force the refresh on the Data drop down option?
Hope this makes sense!
Cheers,
Kevin

Ok, so I have figured out how to get the refresh to work the way I want it to. I had to call wd_comp_controller->fill_object_node( ) in a post exit and the screen refreshes the way we are looking for.
Cheers,
Kevin

In the Develop Module, you right-click on one of the other Panel Headers (for example, Tone Curve) and then place a check next to Basic
