List of Corrections That This Update Provides

The updated Timesheet program provides the following corrections to the original version:

• When you enter a new Finish date on a resource assignment, the error message "The date you entered is not in a recognized date format" does not appear.
• You can update resource assignments with more than 546 hours of work. In addition, you can update other assignments of this resource.
• When you assign resources to the same task multiple times, Microsoft Project updates all of the assignments.
• Microsoft Project correctly calculates Overtime Work and Resume dates for resource assignments with Units greater than one.
• The Default Hours Per Day and Default Hours Per Week values are based on the current project settings instead of the default Microsoft Project settings.
• Timesheet attempts to use the date format selected in Microsoft Project. (Note that an error message appears if this format cannot be recognized by a Microsoft Visual Basic application.)
• Vertical scroll bars are displayed correctly at all times. (In earlier versions of Timesheet, the down arrow on a vertical scroll bar was sometimes cut off and was therefore inaccessible.)

Installing the Updated Timesheet Program

To install the updated files, follow these steps:

1. In the Open box, type <path>\Wp1158.exe and press ENTER, where <path> is the location of Wp1158.exe.
2. Start Microsoft Project.
3. On the File menu, click Open.
4. Select the drive and folder where you downloaded and extracted the file.
5. Select the Wp1158.mpp file, and click Open or OK.
   
   Microsoft Project runs an installation macro when you open this file, and a Source Files dialog box appears asking you to enter the path to the updated Timesheet files.
6. Enter the path to the Wp1158 files and click OK.

The installation macro copies the updated files to your computer in the following locations (where <Windows> is your Microsoft Windows folder, and <Project> is your Microsoft Project folder).

If you encounter any problems installing these updated files, you can manually copy the files to the appropriate folders.

Note that to run the sample program you do not need the files that contain the source code (that is, the files that are copied to the Timetrak folder). If you do not plan to modify these files using Microsoft Visual Basic, you may delete them.
