PRJ98: Missing Fields When Opening a Project in the MPX Format (183455)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q183455 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you save a project in the MPX 4.0 file
format, the fields Start1 through Start5, Finish1 through Finish5 and
Contact are not saved.
CAUSE
The fields Start1 through Start5, Finish1 through Finish5 and Contact are
not included in the Export table. Only the fields listed in the Export
table are saved in the MPX file.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, add the fields Start1 through Start5, Finish1
through Finish5, and Contact to the Export table by following these steps:
- On the View menu, point to Table, and then click
More Tables.
- Under Tables, click to select Export.
- Click Edit.
- Scroll through the list of fields until you see Start in the
Field Name column.
- Click to select the field just below Finish, and then click
Insert Row.
- In the blank row under Field Name, type
Start1.
- Click to select the field just below the newly inserted row, and then
click Insert Row.
- Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have inserted Field Names
Start2 through Start5, Finish1 through Finish5 and Contact.
NOTE: You can also add other fields as needed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
