Issue w/ embedding project using Project 2007

[mmckeen]

Hi, I've inserted a project into a master Project. When I try to expand it
to see the tasks, I'm getting the following error message and I don't know
how to remedy:

There is a problem w/ the entry. The accrual choice is not valid. Type
Start, Prorated or End.

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Mary Lou,

If you open the project by itself do you still get the message?

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

Hi Julie, I can open the project fine by itself. It shares the same resource
pool as my master schedule, and I can't figure out why the message that I
described below appears.

Thanks for the additional information, Mary Lou. If I understand
correctly, you have a master schedule you have created and the
inserted projects share the same resource pool? If you create the
master schedule by opening the resource pool with the third option
"Open the resource pool read/write and all other files....." are you
able to create the consolidated master without error?

It's possible the master project has become corrupt. Try recreating
the master through the pool and let us know how that works out.

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