INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

  • Assume that a project contains a local resource whose name is the same as an enterprise resource. Additionally, the local resource is assigned to a task that is incomplete and a task this is 100 percent complete. When you save the project on a server, the local resource is assigned to the completed task, and the enterprise resource is assigned to the incomplete task.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You connect to a Project 2013 server in Project 2013.

    • You checkout the enterprise global template.

    • You open theVisual Basic Editor, and then you make some changes to some visual basic code that is stored in the global template.

    • You save the project, and then you restart Project 2013.

    In this scenario, the changes to the visual basic code are not saved. 

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • The system locale is set to a setting other than English (United States) on a computer.

    • A Microsoft Excel workbook on the computer contains columns whose names are Outline Level and Start Date.

    • You try to import the workbook into Project 2013.

    In this scenario, Project 2013 freezes. This issue may also occur when you open sub projects in a master project. 

  • Assume that you open a project that contains an interim baseline plan in Project 2013. When you insert interim baseline fields, such as Start1 and Finish1, the properties of the fields are empty.
