Actual work changes when importing a project

[Martin]

While importing some project-files (Project 2002, non-
enterprise) to project 2003 server (enterprise projects),
I noticed that for some projects the actual work that has
been entered by the resources differs between imported
file and original files. The sum of actual work for the
task remains the same, but the hours are spread
differently. I need to keep the original values.

The redistribution happens when starting the import wizard
for enterprise projects (immediately after selecting the
file). Only some resources and tasks seem to be affected.

Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, but not as a result of using a server (I'm using
Project Standard), although I am using a common Resource Pool. I think it
may be when I changed the project calendar from "Standard" to one which
includes all our company's holidays. The entire project is now corrupt, with
dates being spread out arbitrarily. I don't have time to enter all of the
correct "actual work" hours by hand.

I don't understand why actual work hours are not considered "sacred." They
shouldn't change except when they specifically are being edited.
