= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, when you assign a resource to a task, and you enter a value in the % Complete field for the task, the value in the Cost field for the task may change, and it may be rounded incorrectly.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs when you add a resource with a standard rate that is not an integer value, such as $7.50, if the duration of the task is greater than 1 day. In this case, when you enter a value in the % Complete field, the cost may be rounded incorrectly, causing the value in the Cost field to change by $.01, for example from $420 to $420.01. Note that this behavior does not occur with every value that you enter in the % Complete field, and generally does NOT occur with multiples of 10, such as 20%, 30%, and so on.
