SUMMARY
The Cost Calculation Patch for the Power Macintosh is available from Microsoft Technical Support. This patch contains the Microsoft Project 4.0 cost calculation update for the Power Macintosh. This update corrects a problem you may experience when entering certain numbers in cost fields. When you use Microsoft Project 4.0 for the Power Macintosh, if a cost value is greater than $21,474,836.47 but less than $42,949,672.96, the cost is displayed as a negative number in the following fields:
 * Task views: Baseline Cost, Cost, and Fixed Cost
 * Resource views: Cost and Cost Per Use

The Cost Calculation Patch corrects this problem.
