In Windows NT
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
The project contains close to the limit of about 7,500 individually formatted cells, or 3,500 individually formatted task bars.
-and-
You paste tasks that have individually formatted cells or bars. Or, you paste resources that have individually formatted cells.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, paste tasks in a view that does not contain formatted cells or bars. For example, create a new Task Sheet view or Resource Sheet view. To create a new view, follow these steps:
- On the View menu, click More Views.
- Click New, and then click OK.
- In the View Definition in <Project Name> dialog box, type a Name for the new view, then pick the type of Screen, Table, and Filter you want to use. Click OK.
- Click Apply.
You can now paste tasks safely, because the new view contains no individual bar or cell formating.
