removing actual time from a plan in Project 2002

[jimmyg]

I have a pm who manually removed 6000 hours of actual
time from a plan located on the project server. The next
time the plan was used, after several periodic saves, an
odbc error occurred and the plan crashed. After this the
circular reference error message started appearing.

Could this have been caused by removing so much actual
time that was associated with a large number of resources?

thanks

Jimmy:

It's doubtful that the removal of actual work values could cause this,
however anyone making such sweeping changes might have changed something
else that created the circular reference.
