Project creates additional Standard Calendars

K

Kevin Newman

Why would MSProject create a new "Standard" calendar every time a project is
opened?

The "Standard" calendar is not associated at the Project, Resource, or Task
level, but when I open the Organizer I see the appropriate calendars for the
Project and Resources, a default entry of Standard, Then Standard1,
Standard2, etc....

Like this:

6d 20h
7d 24h
Standard
Standard1
Standard2
Standard3
Standard4

I have seen as many as 40 Standard calendars on a single project. I can
delete the extraneous calendars in the Organizer without any error messages,
Save and Close the project and when I re-open it they are all back, plus one
more.

This doesn't happen on "Save", just when the project is opened.

The only work around I have been able to use is to copy the resources into a
new project, then copy the tasks, delete the old project and save the new
project to the old name. Then it doesn't re-occur.

What could be causing this behavior?

How can I fix it?

hello kevin,
we have the same problem, and trying to figure it out.
we think it has something to do with the fact that resource calendars are
changed in the enterprise resource pool (i.e, non-working time is changed).
you probably experience the problem with administrative projects only. could
it have somehing to do with server configuration or other admin prolem ?
to our knowledge, this problem also causes differences between project
tables and PWA views & OLAP cube tables.
did you find a solution ?

amir,

We still haven't figured this out. We don't have any Administrative
projects, so these are all occuring in production projects. All of our
projects are created through a PDS interface that we built to our JDEdwards
system.

I am beginning to believe that it is a server config problem. I have our
developer and db admin working on it.

Thanks

Kevin
