    -and-

  • Your project was saved in a database format.

    -and-

  • The project shares resources from the pool.

    -and-

  • You followed these steps:

    1. You assign Leveling Delay to a resource.
    2. On the Tools menu, point to Resources, and click Update Pool.
    3. Save the project (still in the database format).
    4. Close both files.
    5. Reopen both files.

WORKAROUND

To workaround this problem, save both files in either MPP format or MPD format.
