Project colored dots disappeared with SP2

[mikepeat]

I did the archive install for OSX (Panther) and allowed all security
updates for the OS except the 2005-008 as well as all current updates
for Office 2004 and I have my dots back!

Thanks to Paul

I've just installed osx 10.4.3 update...and the dots are back!
It was definitely a mac security update bug.

Do an Archive & Install of your OS (Panther or Tiger), use Software Update
to update to 10.3.9 or 10.4.2 and other updates, but NOT Security Update
2005-008. Or wait until Apple releases a fix.

I don't see a new message here - did you mean to add something?

Anyway - there is a positive answer now. Apple has released a fix: update to
OD 10.4.3 and you'll have your Project dots back.

Paul- thanks so much for all of the information you've been providing
in this thread. Do you know if there will be a 10.3 fix to this as
well? I'm running MS Office 2004 on both 10.3 (at work, which is
holding off on upgrading) and 10.4 on my laptop. I was very happy to
have my dots back after the most recent OS update on 10.4, but I still
very much miss them at work, where I use the project functionality a
lot more.

Ah. AFAIK, Apple isn't planning to release any more OS updates for Panther,
so I imagine they might roll in the fix the next time they do a new security
update for Panther. (I wasn't even aware that 2005-008 Security Update was
for Panther as well, but I guess you're saying it was?) There's no telling
when that might be, but it's not usually _too_ long between Security
Updates.
