MORE INFORMATION

Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package but were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.

In Microsoft Project Access, if you enter your overtime hours, and then update the actual overtime hours that you worked, your actual overtime hours are changed to zero. (For example, you previously submitted four hours of overtime, and now you change your overtime to two hours.)

When you add a new resource to your project plan that contains a progress bar, the progress bar may disappear, but the project plan still indicates the percentage completed.

When you try to open a project plan that is located on your Project Server, Microsoft Project 2002 may quit unexpectedly. This problem may occur when you use your mouse to switch the focus to other programs such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook while your project plan is loading in Project 2002.

When you create a new task in Project Web Access (PWA) and then you insert the task into your project plan, the task may be inserted at the wrong level. This problem may occur when the task levels are not expanded.
