I installed SP1, but it unfortunately did not fix the problem. Neither did
saving the file to XML and reimporting it. What did work is to delete the
offending tasks (the ones where the work was being erroneously
recalculated
by the leveling engine) and then recreate those tasks. After I did that,
I
re-leveled and it appeared to work. Hopefully, this will not crop up
again.

Mike, I have not applied SR1, but I did look at the spead*** of fixed
problems for SR1 and there was no mention of resolved levelling issues.
I'll
install SR1 anyway and see if it helps. If that doesn't work, I'll
also
try
the procedure for fixing a potentially corrupt project file.

Yes, I'm aware that all leveling should do is set the leveling delay
(and
I
believe also the assignment delay if splitting assignments is checked)
field
when overallocations are detected. That's why I was surprised that
work
was
being recalculated at all. Thanks for the response.

Hi Steve,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

Have you installed SR1? Incidentally, all levelling does is to delay
tasks
until the resources are available - nothing else.

Hi: I'm seeing a similar behavior in 2007 Project Pro, but w/o
Enterprise
server. When I manually level my project, I get some tasks in which
the
work
is recalculated from xx hours to yy,yyy hours. This must be a bug
(right?).
I'm new to leveling, but I thought that task work should always
remain
the
same and it's the duration that may change?

I have a project that was created in 2007 Project Pro and saved
locally. I imported the project onto the Enterprise server. Now
I
want to do some updates. I retrieved the project from the
enterprise
server and have all of my work hours. All tasks have the same
resource on all of them. There are many tasks that start on the
same
day. When I level the resources I have one task that was 2 hrs
of
work is now 14,944 hours and one other that was 8 hrs is now
73,119
hrs. I have not had this problem with projects that were created
and
saved directly on the enterprise server.

Has anyone encountered this problem?
