SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you make changes to a subtask, those changes may not be reflected in the summary task for that subtask.

For example, if you change the amount of work on a subtask, the total Work value at the summary level may not adjust appropriately.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Calculation options for Microsoft Project setting is Manual.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, change the Calculation options for Microsoft Project setting to Automatic. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Calculation tab.
 * 2) Under Calculation options for Microsoft Project, click Automatic, and then click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
