INTRODUCTION
Issues that this hotfix package fixes
-
Assume that a certain unit is incompatible with the upper unit in the Timescale dialog box in Project 2010. When you try to change the Label drop-down list or the Align drop-down list, you receive the following warning message:
Tier size mismatch: An upper tier has less time per tick than one of the tiers below it.
Trying the following: Change the value in the tier’s Units box. Change the number of units you want displayed in the tier’s Count box.Additionally, every time that you click the OK button or the Close button in the warning message, you receive the warning message again.
-
When Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code is executed from a ribbon button in Project 2010, the End statement does not work. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Automation error
-
Assume that you have a milestone task that is in the Manually Scheduled task mode in a project plan in Project Professional 2010. If you set the duration of the milestone task to 0 days, and then you define an actual start date and actual finish date, the milestone task is 100 percent complete. However, when you reopen the project plan, the manually scheduled milestone task is 99 percent complete. Additionally, when you open the project in Project Web App, the manually scheduled milestone task is also 99 percent complete.
-
When you try to scroll up and down in the Resource Usage view in Project 2010, the grid jumps to the active cell.
-
Assume that the Protected Actuals feature is enabled and that a resource contains an assignment that is 100 percent completed in Project 2010. In this situation, you cannot transfer the Remaining Work part of other assignments in the resource to a different resource by using the Replace functionality in the Build Team dialog box.
-
When you try to open a project that contains some invalid lookup table values, Project 2010 crashes.
-
Assume that you include some milestone tasks in a summary task in Project Professional 2010. Then, you assign some cost resources to the milestone tasks. Finally, you select the From subtasks into selected summary task(s) check box in the Set Baseline dialog box. In this situation, the value of the Baseline Cost field does not roll up to the summary task.
-
When you try to clear the Generate WBS code for new task check box in the WBS Code Definition in ProjectName dialog box, the check box remains selected.
-
Assume that you save a project that contains more than 255 resources as an .xml file in Project 2010. Then, you open the .xml file as a new project. In this situation, the resource notes contain corrupted data.
-
Assume that you open a project that has at least one baseline saved and that is in the Project 2007 format from a Project server. Additionally, you do not have permission to save protected baselines. Then, you save the project in the Project 2010 format. In this situation, all data in the protected baselines in the project is lost.
-
Assume that you change a calendar on a project server. Then, you open a project that relies on the calendar. In this situation, Project 2010 crashes.
