Hi,
I have a master/submaster project using Project 2002. When I enter a new
task in and link it to a task from another sub master project, the start date
for the new task does not update to reflect the linkage. This has only just
started to happen. Previoulsy the schedule has behaved as expected. I did
get that annoying message
"The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98
can't be opened.
If your file is from an earlier version, open it in that version, click Save
as (File menu), and save in MPX format. Open the MPX file in the current
version of Microsoft Project. When you use this method, project data is
imported, but formatting is lost."
When I get that message I have to close down and restart project,
immediatley save the schedule(s) and then make the changes. This time though
the start dates do not change. To make them change I have to close down the
master file and open up the submaster files as standalone files, which then
does the calculation, save them, close down and reopen the master file.
Whilst this works arround the problem it is frustrating and time consuming.
Has anyone any thoughts on what the underlying problem might be? The
settings in options have not been changed.
