Project 2007 SP1 Issue with Resource Units

[klafollette]

I applied Project 2007 SP1 over the weekend. I am working on an existing
project, and I see that I now have resources on tasks where the Units show
"0" in the task form, yet they have work. I see the work hours correctly in
resource/task usage. I currently have units expressed in decimal format. If I
switch to show percentage format, I see the resource is allocated 20% in the
task form, which is right for the work/duration. If I change it to show units
as a decimal, they again show it as "0" zero units. Seems like it is rounding
down or just not displaying the decimal.

I tried also by inserting "assignment units" column on the Task Usage view,
and it also shows resource at "0" zero units in decimal mode, but 20% in
percentage mode.

Anyone seen this, and is there a quick fix? I have hundreds of these entries
to deal with.

Hi Kevin,

I have Project Professional SP-1 installed and cannot reproduce what you
report. Does the issue happen with all project files or just one
specifically?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
