WINDOWS

Microsoft Project for Windows will generate an Out of Memory error message if you copy tasks (from the Edit menu, choose Copy) when the size of the edit buffer is exceeded. The edit buffer is a fixed size buffer, independent of the amount of memory available to Project.

The number of tasks that can be copied is dependent upon the amount of data contained in the tasks. If task names are long, then fewer tasks will be able to be copied at one time. The number of tasks that can be successfully copied at a time can vary from approximately 100 to 300 when using Windows version 3.0 (Windows version 3.10 allows you to copy significantly more tasks). However, be aware that when a summary task is copied, that all subordinate tasks to the summary are copied. Therefore, if a summary is selected for copying and it has 300 subordiate tasks, then Project will also try to copy all 300 subordiate tasks.
