WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project version 4.0, when you open a file created in Microsoft Project version 3.0 for Windows, and you select and copy a task record containing linked data in the Name field, the linked Name field information is not copied.

NOTE: This applies only to the Name field. Other linked fields are copied correctly.

= RESOLUTION =

To allow the linked data to be copied, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: To copy the linked data, export the file to the Microsoft Project MPX 4.0 file format and reopen it in Microsoft Project version 4.0 for Windows. Saving the file in MPX format rewrites the file correctly and allows the linked data to be copied.

Method 2: Select Name field for the task instead of using the ID number to select the entire record.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
