A master project may take longer than expected to close in Project Professional 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you close a master project in Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003, the master project may take longer than expected to close.

CAUSE

This issue may occur when the following conditions are true:
  • You connect to Microsoft Project Server and open the master project with the Load summary resource assignments option enabled.
  • You use the Read-only to view option to insert the project.
  • You expand the inserted project tasks while the master project is open.

    Note This issue will occur even if you collapse all the inserted project tasks before you close the master project.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, click to clear the Load summary resource assignments check box in the Project Server Accounts dialog box when you connect to the Project Server account.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
