Issues that this hotfix package fixes

• You accept updates for assignments in Microsoft Office Project 2007. In this case, the values for actual work and for actual overtime work differ from the values submitted by the resources. When you save and then publish the project, the resource timesheet on the My Tasks page shows the same incorrect values.
  
• You enable the Use this field for matching generic resources option. In this case, the Resource Assignment view does not group on the Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) items.
  
  Note After you apply this hotfix package, this issue is resolved. However, this issue reoccurs if you manually specify the calculation option.
  
• Consider the following scenario. You try to publish a project through Office Project Server Interface. The project summary task has a budget cost resource assigned to it. In this scenario, the % Work Complete changes to zero.
  
  Note After you apply this hotfix package, how budget cost resources are calculated changes. This issue is then resolved.
  
• When timephased baseline work is edited directly in Office Project 2007, values are not saved in the MSP_EpmTaskBaselineByDay table. Therefore, the OLAP database cannot obtain this information.
  
• When a project manager approves task updates, the duration of the task is changed even when the duration of the task is a fixed duration.
  
  Note This issue occurs only when the task updates are approved individually. This issue does not occur when all the resources that are assigned to the task have task updates and a project manager approves these task updates at the same time.
  
• In a resource plan, you set the Column interval field to Months. When you click Save or Save and Publish, you may receive the following error message:
  General error: Work value used is invalid. (Use this error information along with other errors to find out the cause of the problem.)
• A user who is a member of a default project manager's group visits the Close Tasks to Update page. In this case, the project manager receives the following error message:
  Access Denied.
• When you enter task updates for material resources on the My Tasks page, the number that you entered and the number that is saved in the database are different. This issue may occur when you replace an existing value with a reduced value.
  
• Consider the following scenario. You put the mouse pointer over a cell on the My Tasks page. This page contains duration or work. Then, you format a Web part to show these values in days. In this scenario, the values are shown in hours.
  
• You print or export a My Tasks view to Microsoft Office Excel. In this case, actual work in the timephased grid is displayed in hourly units. This behavior occurs even when the actual work is formatted to display in daily units.
  
• You cannot save a timesheet when there is only one workday in the last week of a period.
  
• An incorrect currency symbol is displayed for the Standard Rate field in Resource Center.
  
• Under certain circumstances, Office Project Server 2007 may crash when a calendar that points to itself as the base calendar is used in scheduling. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
  The timesheet fails to load indicating a timeout has occurred.
  On faster computers, you may also receive the following error message:
  The timesheet creation failed, because of problems with the project server or with data validations, such as resources not being valid work resources or users. Check your environment, and then try again.
  Additionally, an error message that resembles the following is logged in the Application log:
  Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, stamp 45d691cc, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4480, stamp 49c51cdd, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000000000027ded.
• You assign a cost to a cost resource and then publish a project plan. In this case, the cost value for the cost resource in a Data Analysis view differs from the value in Office Project 2007.
