= SYMPTOMS =

When you import a table in Microsoft Project, and you then change the status of the Merge check box in the Import dialog box, the Table and Sheet lists are reset the to their default selections.

NOTE: This behaviour does not occur in later versions of Microsoft Project.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If a task table is active when you import a task table, then that table is the default selection in the Import dialog Table list; otherwise, the first task table in the Table list is the default. Similarly, when you import a resource table, the Sheet list in the Import dialog box is enabled only when you import a sheet from a Microsoft Excel workbook. The default selection is the first sheet in the workbook.

The Import dialog box comes up whenever you try to open any of the following file types: Text, .CSV, Microsoft Excel worksheets, FoxPro tables, Lotus WKS/WK1/WK3, and dBASE III/IV. The Merge check box in the Import dialog box is used to merge the imported data into the active project (as opposed to putting it in a new project).
