The last few weeks I have been getting two error messages when using
projects. I use a large schedule that has about 15 summary tasks that are
physically part of the file. Under those summary tasks are anywhere from 10
to 40 subtasks that are imbedded project files. I don't like this format
much, but it is the first step I am taking to integrate into Project
Enterprise without making too many changes that will freak my computer
illiterate boss out.
The first thing I noticed was that the summary tasks dont have some crazy
number is the % complete and duration fields (baseline duration, actual
duration, remaining duration, etc.) until I open all of its subtasks.
The second is that when I open up some of the subtasks, I get a message
telling me:
"Invalid Date. This is not a valid date, or it is outside the range for
dates which is January 1, 1984 through December 31, 2049. Type a date in the
correct format: for example, 6/15/00 or June 15, 2000."
And the thrid is comming from my excel sheet link. I set the links up in the
subtasks file, not on the "master schedule". I tried to link it on the
master, but I was not able to. every time I open the subtask, before I get
the invalid date message, I get a pop up error that repeats twice for every
link I have established. It says:
"This field contains data that is dynamically linked to another field or
program. If you clear or change the information in this field, all links
included in this link will be removed. Do you want to continue to remove the
entire link?"
Any help would be great! Thanks
