Randy --
In the future, I would strongly recommend that you import non-enterprise
projects using the Import Wizard. Without looking at your database, I
cannot be certain what is happening, and whether you have database
corruption. However, when you receive a solution from Microsoft, would you
be kind enough to share the results with the rest of the group? Thanks in
advance.
