Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Morning,

The company I work for uses MS Project 2002. We use the Progress Mail functionality via e-mail and update the plans with assignees work daily via this method.

Recently, due to a crash on the Resource Pool 11 of my 27 plans took a trip to the funny farm and were returned via back-up from the day previous.

My issue is now that when the progress mails are updated, all previous days time for the given task/assignment are given a zero from the start of the task and only the day the mail is updated registers any time. Does this make sense. Not sure if I am explaining it well. Basically I think the issue is with the Effort Driven aspect/checkbox within the task properties as all tasks seem to have defaulted to checked. So I am currently opening the progress mails and updating the plans manually, this works fine...for now.:-(

On changing this to unchecked the tasks revert straight back to checked on reopening the project after saving.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, I feel this may be something and nothing.

Regards
Top

Re strange things that MSProject does
Sometimes MSProject crashes when people try to mix and match with different versions. Although MS say the different versions can be converted which then can I don’t think they expected people to move backward and forward in issue. Check the versions but you will have to go back to where you were before it all crashed.
