Cost and Remaining Cost PWA & Project Pro Error.

[John Horton]

I have a very strange error that I have only found in one project so far. The
COST column seems to be showing the value of remaining cost. So a task that
is 100% the task shows a cost of Zero. These bad vales show up in Project Pro
as well as in the PWA views but not in the Cube.

If I open the file in question and start a new project this error also
appears. If I restart and open an unaffected file this error does not appear.

Ideas????

John:

Your suspicions seem to be well founded. Try saving the file as XML and
reopening it. Let us know if that helps.

To my great embarrassment this was the result of MS Project Pro settings.
What I do not understand is how this setting was changed. We have over 100
schedules in out system and this one file was set up with the wrong settings.
Beats me.

We see so much strange stuff that we are now blaming the software for all
kinds of stuff that may be our doing.
