SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you expand inserted projects within a master project, Microsoft Project may stop responding without any error message.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the inserted projects that you are trying to expand are already open read/write.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Project 2000, Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To obtain SR-1, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Temporary Workaround
To temporarily work around this problem in Microsoft Project 2000 (non-SR-1), follow these steps to set calculations to manual:
 * 1) Click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Calculation tab.
 * 2) Under the Calculation option for Microsoft Project, select Manual.

You receive two non-fatal error messages, but Microsoft Project will not stop responding.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 2000, Service Release 1 (SR-1).
