Change Working Time Not Saving

[Dori]

I am working on a stand alone copy of Project Standard 2002. I have multiple
projects running with separate project calendars. I would like to update the
calendar for a particular project to reflect all days that the project team
as a whole is not working.

Some of the project calendars update and save via Tools->Change Working
Time, selecting the day and selecting nonworking time. However a few of the
plans will change while I have it up. Once I save, close the project, and
reopen it, none of the dates I entered are listed as nonworking days.

I have also tried to copy the calendars from the projects that were able to
save the information. But the information is still missing when I open it.

What is happening that is different between the two projects? How can I get
the calendar to recognize the additional nonworking days?

Hi,

I'm sorry, I have never seen this.
I can't imagine what is happening but this is not normal behaviour.

So is there anything I can do to try to troubleshoot or get this working?
The plan is not useful if I can't add in non-working days.

I have tried to copy the global.mpt file over via Organizer. I have also
tried to copy the file to every location I think Project may be reading it
from. But so far no changes as far as the calendar goes saves regardless of
what I try to do.

Hi Dori,

Are you using a resource pool file? It sounds like a corruption of some
sort. You could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. File Bloat? - Might
be Corruption.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

That seems to have been the problem. I followed the recommended FAQ, and
everything seems to be working fine at this point. Thanks!
