Q113770

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Project for Windows, versions 1.0, 3.0, 3.0a, 4.0
 * Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, versions 1.1, 3.0

SYMPTOMS
When a subproject file is assigned to a task that is 100-percent complete, the master task is not updated to reflect the subproject file's status.

CAUSE
Microsoft Project does not recalculate the status for a task that is 100- percent complete.

RESOLUTION
To work around this situation, set the percent complete for the subproject task in the master file to something less than 100%. Microsoft Project will recalculate the task and display the correct status for the subproject.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior in Version 4.0

 * 1) Enter in a new task.
 * 2) From the Insert menu, choose Task Information, change the Percent Complete to 50% and choose OK.
 * 3) From the File menu, choose New. (You will now be in Project2.)
 * 4) Enter in a new task.
 * 5) From the Insert menu, choose Task Information, change the Percent Complete to 100% and choose OK. Select the Advanced tab and in the subproject filename field type PROJECT1.

The subproject task in the master project (Project2) will display 100- percent complete even though the task in the subproject (Project1) is 50- percent complete.
