PRJ98: Leveling Slow or Hangs in a Consolidated Project (187391)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q187391

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project 98, when you use resource leveling to resolve overallocated resource assignments, leveling may seem slow or Microsoft Project may seem to stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This behavior may occur when you level a consolidated project, where Resource Leveling is set to Automatic and the inserted projects share resources from a resource pool.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not use automatic leveling in a consolidated project. Instead, change resource leveling from Automatic to Manual, by following these steps before opening the consolidated file:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Resource Leveling.
  2. Click to select Manual.
  3. Click OK.
Then, to manually level a project, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Resource Leveling.
  2. Click Level Now.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
