Notes are dissapearing in MS Project 2007

[trpy2k]

Anyone have a clue why my notes keep vanishing in MS Project 2007. Th
notes are entered, the file saved, and saved to the server, then th
next time I pull it down, the notes fields completely dissapear.

I still have the "notes" icon in the Indicators field, so it reminds m
that there were notes there, but when you open the notes filed, open th
task, or even hover over the icon there is nothing in the field. No
even a "space".

Getting me in a lot of hot water.

Thanks,

So what Service and cumulative fixes have you installed?

I did a fresh reinstall last night because I thought that would fix the
problem. Nope! I have since re-installed and have:
MSO Project 2007 Add-in for Outlook (running Office 2003 w/ Project 2007 Pro)
MSO Project P2k7 Service Pack 2

That's it at this point. I heard somewhere that this was a known issue, but
can't find a single thread anywhere even in the updates offered by MS.

Just ordered. For some reason, I thought that running the Microsoft Update
tool would, idk, UPDATE! I figured that would include the Hotfix for MS
Project since it included every other update that even mentioned the word
"Project".

This is the most frustrating thing about MS... I can't believe that wasn't
included in SP2!

Rant over...

Dytham, a milliion thanks for the help!
