Re: Task become milestone automatically when calendar is changed

Does the problem go away when you apply the latest SP?


(Note: if you are using un-patched Project 2003 it is likely giving you wrong answers. Plus all the other problems noted in the release notes. There is really no point to running, commenting, or de-bugging un-patched Project 2003).

Maybe I'm missing something. You say this "only happens on MS Project that has no service pack". So ...

: I can't try to replicate as I have no versions of Project without service packs.
: Is this not a clue that perhaps the un-patched version of Project you are working with is *flawed* and that the fix is to patch it with a service pack?. I recall that the release notes for Project 2003 SP1 and SP2 were extensive with many flaws fixed. Perhaps you can find those release notes and see if this is one of the bugs that was fixed?

Hi,

In MS Project 2003 project, there is a task,say task1 that has been marked done i.e % complete and % work complete is 100 and is assigned a resource say r1.In this project if I goto Tools >> Change working time and change timing of a resource calendar other than r1,then the duration of task1 becomes 0 and task becomes a milestone.Why is this happening?How are they related?

Other thing is that it happens only on MS Project that has no service pack.On machines with SP2 or SP3 for MS Project this issue does not occur.So cannot understand if something is wrong with my project or is it a Project bug..
