how limit the material resource in msp

[mh_amri]

hi
i am new to msp 2007 and in fact i am a student which learning project
management with msp.

in one homework we have
{task (duration)} & {">" : "A>B" mean after finish A , B could start}"

A(2)>E(3),F(2),C(1)
E(3),F(2),C(1),B(4)>D(5)

limit in pipe(material) is like below
in the morning of 1st week : 300 meter pipe number 4
" " " " " " " " " " 3rd week : 350 meter pipe number 10
" " " " " " " " " " 5th week : 400 meter pipe number 4
" " " " " " " " " " 8th week : 50 meter pipe number 10
" " " " " " " " " " 8th week : 400 meter pipe number 4

and task "A" need 200 meter pipe 6
and task "B" need 300 meter pipe 4
and task "C" need 100 meter pipe 6
and task "D" need 500 meter pipe 4
adn task "E" need 300 meter pipe 10
and task "F" need 100 meter pipe 10

wow! i typed too much

now the problem is msp can't accept limit and float material
[in Res.sheet>resource inf. the resource availability is unactive (]
so how can i solve this practice and tell the msp i have a limited material
availabilty ?
indeed the goal of this practice is "Leveling"

if you read till here you really want to help me , so thank you very very
much!

Hi,

You cannot limit the usage of material resources in Project. Don't look for
it; it isn't there, sorry.
