Hi,
I recently debloated our project file by following the steps to convert it
to MSP Database and then back to a plan. It worked in reducing the size but
I've just noticed that some of the assignment costs have been modified.
Further investigation shows that when looking at one of the changed
assignments in the task usage view, if I total up the monthly cost columns on
the yellow right hand pane, it doesn't equal the assignment.cost value on the
left. I've only just noticed this because the task cost had remained
unchanged (so task cost and the timebased data cost were correct, but the
assignment cost in the split field was different). Upon dumping all
variances out to Excel, I can see that some have moved up by a small fraction
and others down, but the overall variance on the assignments totalled up to
5K, which isn't really a justifiable rounding error.
Has anyone come across this before - this is Project 2000.
Cheers
