SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you assign an Actual Finish date for a task, you may see that some Work or Overtime Work is lost.



CAUSE
In the Task Usage view, you can assign an Actual Finish date for either the task or for any resource assignment that belongs to a task. The behavior described in the "Symptoms" section occurs when you assign the Actual Finish date to the resource assignment for the task and not to the task directly.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, set the Actual Finish date for the task, not for the assignment.



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