PRJ98: Incorrect Changes After Multiple Task Edit in Calendar (181643)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q181643 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, in the Calendar view, when you edit multiple tasks
using the Multiple Task Information dialog box, your changes in the dialog
box may not be made to the selected tasks. Instead, Microsoft Project may
insert blank rows in the project, or create new tasks with the information
you specified.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you edit multiple tasks in the Calendar view, and
you are working in a project that contains an inserted project.
WORKAROUND
To edit multiple tasks simultaneously when you are working with a
consolidated project, change to a task sheet type view, for example, the
Gantt Chart.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
MORE INFORMATION
The behavior differs depending on which project the tasks you select belong
to.
If you select tasks that originate in the inserted project and then edit
multiple tasks, blank rows are inserted in the project. The blank tasks are
not visible in the Calendar view, but are visible in any sheet view.
If you select tasks that originate in the consolidated project and then
edit multiple tasks, new tasks may be created with the information you
specify in the Multiple Task Information dialog box.
