SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you enter a number using a space as a list separator in a Work, Number or Duration field, the space will not be used or you will receive one of the following error messages (depending on where you entered the value).
If the Value Is in a Duration Field
If the Value Is in a Number Field
If the Value Is in a Work Field
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you type a number using a space as a digit grouping symbol (thousands separator). For example, typing 1 000 in the Duration field causes the error.
WORKAROUND
Type the number without the digit group separator, for example, 1000.
