Summary task % complete

[Karl]

I have a project with about 700 tasks in it. SOME of the summary/rollup
tasks do NOT show 100% even though all subtasks are 100% complete I have
tried changing the % complete to 100% but it automatically changes back to
99% complete when I click on okay. There are no special constraints and some
of the tasks update correctly. I have the options set to calculate
automatically and I have no outside dependencies.

Through experimentation I discovered that having predecessors and especially
resources allocated to the summary tasks causes problems. I removed both and
the summary task updated to 100%. I believe it was the resources allocated
to the summary task that caused the problem.

Thanks for the feedback, Karl. I should have directed you to our FAQ#49
that covers that!
