SYMPTOMS
When you open a project from a database, Microsoft Project quits unexpectedly, and you receive one of the following error messages.

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the Problem persists, contact the program vendor.

If you click Details, you receive the following error message:

Click on OK to terminate the application.

In Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
No error message is displayed.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur when you manually edit the outline codes for a project that is saved to a database, and you use values that are not appropriate for the Outline Code field.

For more information about valid field attributes, see the ProjDB.htm file in the folder in which Microsoft Project is installed. By default, this folder is Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033.
