SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you level resources, adjustments to individual resource assignments may not occur.



CAUSE
When you level resources, adjustments to individual resource assignments will not occur if actual work has been applied to the task.

NOTE: This behavior occurs even when the Leveling can adjust individual assignments on a task option is selected. (To locate this option, on the Tools menu, click Resource Leveling.)



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, manually level any tasks where a resource is overallocated after the project has been leveled.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Project 98 can perform independent resource leveling. For example, when two resources are assigned to a task and one is overallocated, leveling can delay and split the assignment for the overallocated resource, independent of other resources working on the same task.

However, if actual work is applied against the task, Microsoft Project will level all resources according to the availability of the overallocated resource, delaying the entire task.
