Business Planner: Data in Shared Business Plan Is Changed or Lost (233460)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Business Planner

This article was previously published under Q233460

SYMPTOMS

If you share a business plan created in Microsoft Business Planner over a network, data that is entered into the Business Plan wizard may be unexpectedly changed or lost.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the following conditions are true:

  • The folder containing the business plan is shared with full access rights to multiple users.

  • A user with access to the shared folder saves changes to the business plan.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, contact the owner of the business plan before you enter data in the plan.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Business Planner.

MORE INFORMATION

When you are entering data in a shared business plan, you are not notified if another user opens that plan. As a result, multiple users can overwrite business plan data without being aware that they are doing so.
