Error message regarding accrual choice in Project 2007

[mmckeen]

Hi, I have master schedule that was originally created in Project 2003 then
updated to 2007. I've inserted another Project plan that was done in Project
2007 into my master. Each time I go to make a change (such as adding a line
item) into the inserted project, I get an error that says "There is a
problem w/ the entry. The accrual choice is not valid..." I've looked at
the resource sheet, and reset the resources used in this inserted project,
but still get the error. Any ideas? The Project files (from what I can
tell) are still OK, but it is annoying to see this message. The message also
appears when I save the the master schedule and click to save all the other
inerted Projects. Thanks!

Hello mmckeen,

It sounds as though the problem may be coming from another project
file that is linked into the master. I suggest opening each project
file in turn and try to narrow down the problem file. If you are
using a resource pool file, I'd start there. The accrual choice may
also be showing for fixed costs, so I'd check the cost table on the
files as well.

You don't mention if you have installed SP-1, but I recommend
installing SP-1 as well as the other cumulative updates and
infrastructure updates as needed.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
