Please describe where the directory for global templates are kept? This is so we can centralise our resource pool, calendars etc.

Thanks

Templates are by default stored locally.

In the drive where MS Project is installed, it should be in your own Documents and Settings\Your name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates folder.

To check it, open a project and select File|Save As and then change the bottom dropdpwn to read Template. Then click the top dropdown to view the path of your templates folder.

If you want to put these on your network, see your IT Support Team to get a central location for templates set up and then email its path to all Project Users.

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
