Could be data corruption. That's all I can tell you based on the information
you provided. Consider starting a new thread and begin by giving an overview
of your system.

Thanks Gary, it was data corruption. a couple of projects had huge
negative values in the work colum. Since the projects were pretty new,
I deleted the projects and recreated them. Not sure why this happened
but deleting and recreating seems to have taken care of the problem

Thanks,
Dee
