I discover that the problem is when I create a Custom Field type Numberth
have this formula


IIf(([Total de Horas de Trabajo (Number1)]=0),(0),(((50*(Sin((([Time in
Hours Passed]/[Total_Work_Hours
(Number1)])*3,141592653589)-(3,141592653589/2))+1))*[Total_Work_Hours(Number1)])/100))

I Test this Formula only in Project Professional, and this work very well,
the problem in when I put this in the Enterprise Custom Field

Please Help Me

Luis,

One of our MOPS2007 customers experienced similar issues when trying to save
or publish a project. We opened a support call with Microsoft PSS and they
found out that the saving error was related to formulas in stored in custom
fields; so obviously there's an issue with saving and retrieving the formula
in the database. If you remove all formulas from the project I'm positive
you will be able to assign resources without any problems.

Let us know...

Hi Marc

I understand your position, and I discover that indeed I delete the custom
Field with the Formulas and I can assign resources but the problem is that I
need this formula to calculate the variance from Work Estimate to Status Date
and the Actual Work Work, and I need this for all the Enterprise projects...

How can I resolve this and maintenance this Field with formulas in My
Customize Fields???

Please Help me...

Luis:

I believe that the problem you're experiencing is directly related to the
formula itself. You may not reference a standard custom field (A custom
field that you define in project) when creating a formula for and Enterprise
Custom Field. The bug, if any, is that the system isn't catching this for
you.

Hi Team

I discover that the problem is when I calculate in the formula the value of
PI()=3,141592653589

The Decimal Point (,) or (.) is not recognize for PS, but when I use this
Field Local in Project Professional this work Right, I change de value for PI
and try with only the value 3 wihout decimal point and the formula in the
Enterprise Field work very well...

Another test that I try is create one Field call PI and in the formula =
3,141592653589, and when I Insert this enterprise field in Project
Professional I watch that the value is 0...

Can you Help me.

Regards

Luis Mata

Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem similar to Luis' except I have no custom field
formulae. Using a fresh installation of Project, it will crash if I try to
assign a resource to a task in the Gantt view while connected to Project
Server 2007. It's a very vexing problem. I'm trying this on Vista x64
Ultimate if it makes any sort of difference.

Chris:

Me-too posts aren't the most effective way to solve your problems, because
it gives so little information about your system. Of course, experienced
users do not assign resources in the Gantt chart view by using the picklist
in the resource column. The appropriate tools for doing this are the Build
Team tool, the Task Entry View or the Assign Resources dialog. I can't
reproduce your crashing problem, so it's not a bug. Take the time to start
your own thread and explain your setup.

You're probably right about the "me-too" post thing; I just don't like to add
more threads than are necessary =). That being said, in this case a new
thread was warranted.

Turns out I fixed my problem. I'm using Hewlett-Packard's security manager
software on my notebook and it has an option for Single Sign-On. If this is
enabled, I experience the problem I described; turning it off, everything is
clear sailing.

The appropriate tools for doing this are the Build
Team tool, the Task Entry View or the Assign Resources dialog.

True enough; I was just poking around to see if I could reproduce the
problem I was seeing.

I appreciate your response and suggestions!
