This article was previously published under Q181643



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, in the Calendar view, when you edit multiple tasks using the Multiple Task Information dialog box, your changes in the dialog box may not be made to the selected tasks. Instead, Microsoft Project may insert blank rows in the project, or create new tasks with the information you specified.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you edit multiple tasks in the Calendar view, and you are working in a project that contains an inserted project.



WORKAROUND
To edit multiple tasks simultaneously when you are working with a consolidated project, change to a task sheet type view, for example, the Gantt Chart.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.



MORE INFORMATION
The behavior differs depending on which project the tasks you select belong to.

If you select tasks that originate in the inserted project and then edit multiple tasks, blank rows are inserted in the project. The blank tasks are not visible in the Calendar view, but are visible in any sheet view.

If you select tasks that originate in the consolidated project and then edit multiple tasks, new tasks may be created with the information you specify in the Multiple Task Information dialog box.
