MSP 2007 Crashes when applying Group with Custom Field with Formula

[sjweisser]

Hello,

I was just "upgraded" to MSP 2007 from 2003. Project crashes everytime
I apply a group to a view that shows a custom field with a formula. I
have tried a number of things to prevent this including defining a
field with a very simple formula that just sets a text field to the
value "test". I can view the field fine, but when I apply a group
(even a standard group like "Critical"), it crashes Project.

This seems to only happen in the projects I created in 2003 originally.
Moving the same fields, groups, and views to a new project (using
Organizer) seems to work OK without crashing. I certainly do not want
to recreate my whole MPP files again. Help!

Any ideas on how to correct this? Has anybody else experienced this?

Thanks for any help.

Hey Steve,

I believe you are working with Eric Wilson on this issue. I have just
responded to him with a suggestion to first delete you cache folders and see
if that resolves your issue.

Go to Start>Run and type in %appdata%

Then navigate to the Microsoft/MS Project/ folder



Delete 12, and Cache to make sure all the cache files are cleared. Try to
reproduce your issue again to see if it stops crashing on that particular
view with the grouping.
