Early Project 2010 Feedback and Issues

It’s been great to see how many people have downloaded the Project 2010 Beta so far! Keep the feedback coming in the forums and through Send a Smile. I wanted to post to clarify a few of the most common issues people have been hitting so far.

Connecting Project 2010 client to Project 2007 Server – This is not supported. Project 2010 client can only connect to Project 2010 Server. You can connect the Project 2007 client to a Project 2010 server if the server is running in Compatibility Mode.

Unable to connect Project 2007 client to a 2007 server after installing Project 2010 client – This is an issue in the Beta. To fix this issue, go to the Control Panel – Add/Remove Programs and repair your installation of Project 2007.

Where is the Pert Add-in – This was removed from Project. Brian Kennemer has blogged about a macro he wrote to replace this functionality. Check that post out here.

Where is Copy Picture – It is on the Home tab – Copy dropdown. clip_image001

Just wanted to share some feedback: Not supporting project server 2007 compatibility is a major adoption barrier for my company.

I've come to learn that time-phased comments are not exposed within the timesheet user interface (a.k.a. cell comments).  This is a requirement for my company in order to migrate from our existing time management system to PWA time management.

Please provide a recommended approach to expose the time-phased comment for timesheet entry.

Well doesn't that suck for testing.  I guess I will have to download Project Server 2010.  I am looking forward to it. :)

Thank you for the "Where is Copy Picture" hint :-). The output of the display rendering is ugly, but eh printer one looks well.

There is an issue in Beta2 with Copy Picture that is causing the image to be blury. This was fixed for the final release.

It seems there should be a way to show the total number of estimated hours for a project.  Part of the project planning is determining what can be done in a specified time period.  It seems Project should provide a total on the number of estimated hours for the tasks in the project.
