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.
