Hi - we also have this problem with one project (out of 149 in the
database...). It was first noticed just before Xmas. We've been running
Server for over 12 months and applied SP1 in October. The suggestion from
Omar doesn't work for us. All the detail can be seen in PWA, but nothing in
the client. Adding a new task when the project is 'open' in the client
results in a row number of 1. We're going to extract all the data from
different PWA views and then populate a new project.
