• Visual Studio Team System Expressing a relationship between work items

  I would like to connect a scenario with tasks that are needed to implement it. Say, I have one WI of type scenario and two WI - tasks that should be finished in order to support the scenario. All three WI can be inserted in the visual studio and in MS Project the tasks can be set as sub items of the scenario. Unfortunately, the relationship between the tasks and the scenario doesn't get propagated back to the WI database. It is only visible inside the MS project file. Seting a link between the scenario WI and the two task WIs creates a relationship, but doesn't have any consequences in MS Project or Excel. What I was hoping for, is ...Show All

• Visual Basic Distributing a Macro across an organization - how to delete existing .bas files within a .dot file

  VBA question -  I have been maintaining a large macro within my workplace.  It is basically a find and replace macro that let's the users easily create client documents.  It is housed within the Normal.dot template and contains a "MyName" module and "AcctMgr" module.  I have just completed an upgrade and I simply want to replace the "AcctMgr" module with a new one.  Replacing the whole Normal.dot file just causes too much pain for the person to have to go into the module and then re-update their name in the "MyName" code.. I can successfully import the module, but it does not overlay the existing "AcctMgr" module as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reports node in Team Explorer sticks at Working...

  I'm running TFS beta 3 refresh in a dual-server installation. I had a lot of problems getting Sharepoint working again (see my other threads) - that may have something to with what I'm seeing now. Per the migration instructions, I went into the report server and manually created all of the reports for my projects.  I made all of the necessary configuration changes and tested every report. In my project portal sites, reports do appear in the report placeholders (although they're all showing no results, but that's probably something else). The thing that's not working is the Reports node in the team explorer.  It sticks a ...Show All
