SYMPTOMS
When you use the Save Workspace command (on the File menu) to save an *.mpw file, Microsoft Project may stop responding and you may receive one of the following error messages.

Windows 95
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:

WINPROJ caused an invalid page fault in module WINPROJ.EXE at.

Windows NT
An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated.

Exception access violation (0xc0000005), Address.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions are true:


 * A project that uses a resource pool is open.


 * That resource pool is open read-only.


 * That resource pool is the active window when you Save Workspace.


 * You click Yes to the Update Resource Pool message.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install Microsoft Project 98 for Windows Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To work around this problem, before trying to Save Workspace, change the active project to any project other than the resource pool, by clicking a project on the Windows menu.



STATUS

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).
