SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project 98, when you delete a project from a database using the DeleteFromDatabase method, you may find that your project is not deleted from the database.

NOTE: If the Reserved_Project_ReadOnly field has been edited in the database and set to 1, you may also receive the following error message:

The project cannot be deleted.

The project cannot be deleted because it is currently open. Close the project, and then try again.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the database has been closed incorrectly in Microsoft Project 98. For example, Microsoft Project crashes (stops responding) or power is lost while the database is open. If this happens, the Reserved_Project_ReadOnly field in the database may not be reset properly.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, edit the database in a program such as Microsoft Access. In the Project_Information table of the database, edit the Reserved_Project_ReadOnly field to be 0 and then save the database.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information on editing your project in a database, please refer to the Database.wri file that ships with Microsoft Project 98.
