= SYMPTOMS =

The Resource Group column in a task table may display only one resource group even though there are multiple resources assigned to the task.

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs if one of the resource group names is entirely contained within another resources group name, and the resource whose group name is a subset of the other resources group name is assigned second.

Example
Resource1 Group Name = Tester Resource2 Group Name = Test

= WORKAROUND =

To work around this problem, do the following:


 * 1) Assign the resource whose group name is a subset of the other group name first, then assign the other group name. For the example above, you would first assign Resource2(Test) and then reassign Resource1(Tester).
 * 2) Change the Group name such that its text is not found in another group’s name. For the above example you would Change Resource2 Group Name from Test, to Test1.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
