Updates dropping out of later versions

[E Hughes]

Hi,
I'm using MSProject 2000. I usually save the plan daily and work from a new
version so I have something to go back to if I make a mistake. I'm noticing
that some of my updates I've made previously are not coming through when I go
back to a section after a week or so. Specifically in the Actual finish, or
% Complete columns.

I've also noticed when I cut and paste in information from other plans
created by team members that sometimes some data does not come through.
(predecessors sometimes, or other info) Is there a rhyme or reason as to
what does & doesn't come in?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi E Hughes,

I'm not sure about the first issue. When you say updates are not coming
through is actual work disappearing? You mention Actual Finish and %
Complete are changing - I would expect that if you changed remaining duration
or remaining work in later updates.

As far as what gets copied, it depends upon what you select. If you select
just the Task Name and Duration fields, you'll only get that information
copied. If you select a task by the ID (row number) the you'll get all
information for that task including predecessors, successors, notes, etc.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
