MS Project Pro 2007 Outline Level Change Automatically

[BruceFFIC]

Using MS Project Server 2007 with SP1 and Infrastructure update. A
number of our users when they have updated their projects that their
outlines levels were changed.

Here is what I was doing when the corruption occurred. When this has
happened not sure, it may have happened earlier but isn't shown in
the file until a full recalculation is made by saving and reopening
the file.


1. I was working on some work contouring of tasks to spread the
hours

evenly over 3 weeks (with 14 days duration due to the holiday)

2. I published the plan in order to save the file onto my local
drive
due > to a request from the Team Lead.
3. I saved the file down in 2003 and 2007. Exited the remote
desktop
once the file was checked back in, per my queue report on PWA.
4. Saved the files onto my own drive, and zipped up the 2003 version
to send to the Team Lead.
5. Sent project to team lead.
6. Reopened Remote Desktop and Opened the project plan.
7. Received an error message stating that a resource had claimed
time

outside of the original dates. Went to that task, near the end of

the plan > and noticed that the outline level had been distorted on
many tasks near
the bottom. Also noticed that tasks had moved from their original
place in the > plan and that dates had moved because predecessors
were
missing (mainly due > to outline level changing).

Bruce:

Does this plan contain blank lines? If so, remove them. You may need to
re-import the good copy of the 2007 plan into the server after deleting the
current version on the server. You should also apply SP2.
