PRJ98: Task Split in a Project Created in an Earlier Version

• Microsoft Project 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project 98, some tasks in a project may display a split when a split is not expected.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you load a file created in Microsoft Project 4.O, and the task that displays the split has a percent complete greater than zero, is a fixed duration task, and has no resource assigned.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the duration of the task to zero. Then, reenter the original duration and percent complete.

STATUS

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

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).

For additional information about obtaining and installing SR-1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
