Hours in MSP 2000

[David McTavish]

I have created a plan for a weekend implementation which has over 100 tasks
to be completed between Friday pm and Monday am. Project is useful as it
allows the timescale to go down to Days and Hours (and clearly allows tasks
to be scheduled to that level of granularity). However, do the Task Start
and End TIMES exist as separate data which can they be included in views /
tables?

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you are asking when you say
"seperate data". Project stores time (dates and time) down to the
minute level of precision ... more precise than days and hours. you can
schedule to the minute if you want/need.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Given the fact that your project is for a weekend implementation, you
probably need to track tasks at the one-hour or even quarter-hour level. To
view the date and time for each task, you can click Tools - Options - View
and set the Date Format to include the time in addition to the date. This
setting is global and will impact every View and Table you apply that
includes a date. If you wish to only modify a few tables to include the
date and time for tasks, you can do the following instead of the previous
steps:

1. Click View - Table - More Tables
2. Select the table you wish to modify and click the Edit button
3. Change the Date Format setting for the table to include both the date
and time
4. Click OK
5. Modify any other tables using steps 2-4
6. Click Close when finished

Hope this helps.

This is exactly what I need. I had anticipated that Start and End Times
might be stored separately from Start and End Dates and could be included as
editable fields in whatever view I chose - but simply refining the Start and
End fields to include time makes perfect sense - and since they can be
manually modifed this gives me the level of control I need. And yes, I need
the timescale to be in hours and minutes.

Many thanks.

You are welcome, my friend! I "read between the lines" in your original
post and hoped that my answer would help you.
