back to the topIssues that are fixed in the hotfix package
This hotfix package fixes the following issue:
885856 You receive an "An import error occurred" error message when you click "Build Team from Enterprise" on the Tools menu in Project Professional 2003
This hotfix package also fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
- Code values are not set in the Enterprise Resource Pool when you use the ResourceCodeValuesUpdate method to update the code values of a custom multi-value Enterprise Resource Outline Code for a resource
You use the ResourceCodeValuesUpdate method to update the code values of a custom multi-value Enterprise Resource Outline Code for a resource. When you click Build Team from Enterprise on the Tools menu in Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003, and then create a filter to view resources that have specific code values, the resources are not listed. The code values are not set in the Enterprise Resource Pool.
You do not experience these symptoms if you log on to Microsoft Office Project Web Access 2003, and then create the same filter. The resources are displayed as expected in Project Web Access 2003.
- Dates of successor tasks are calculated incorrectly after you change the Percent complete value of a successor task to zero (0) percent
When you change the Percent complete value of a successor task in your project to 0% in the Task Information dialog box, the dates for the successor tasks are changed to use incorrect dates. This problem may occur if the following conditions are true: - Your project contains summary tasks that are linked by a dependency between their finish and start dates.
- You change the Percent complete value of a successor task to 0%.
The dates of the successor tasks are calculated incorrectly to use an earlier than expected date.
