SYMPTOMS
When you view a project in a database program, such as Microsoft Access 97, the Reserved_ExternalDataLinks table may contain more records than expected.



CAUSE
When you save a project that contains one OLE link as a database format, three records are written to the Reserved_ExternalDataLinks table. The first record is for source of the link and the second record is for the destination of the link. The third record is for preserving the document format.

For each successive OLE link added to the Reserved_ExternalDataLinks table, two records are written: one for the source of the link and one for the destination of the link.



STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Project 98.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about the Reserved_ExternalDataLinks table, refer to the file named Database.wri. This file is usually installed in the default Microsoft Project folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

Note that the folder name will be different if you did not select the default location during Setup.

Additional query words: additional too many
