    Hi all,

    one question regarding the new Project 2010.
    Is it possible to fix a maximum of hours for a task or assignment, so
    that the budgte cannot be "over"-booked?

    For example a resource has only 20hours for task A and so this
    resource can max. book 20 hours or less to fulfill this task in the
    timesheet!?

    Regards
    Thomas

    Thomas:

    I'm not 100% certain I know what you're asking, but if you mean can you restrict the amount of time a resource enters into the Tasks page or Timesheet page to the number of hours that were planned for the task, then the answer is no, not out of the box. However, you could create a custom event handler that would reject submissions based on this criteria. Keep in mind that in the real world, people do work more than the planned amount, and ususally it's more valuable to know that, than reject it.
