From: Rob Schneider on 5 Nov 2009 03:20 Since it works on one PC and not the other ... clearly the PC's are different. I can imagine how hard it will be to figure out what is different as it probably is a flawed system file or something, and probably not specific to Project. Since it's a control, probaby provivded by Windows, helps this hypothesis. Ideas: : look at Windows system restore for clues and consider restore : reinstall Project : reinstall Service Packs : restore Windows from image backup : reinstall Windows --rms www.rmschneider.com Milan Bortel wrote: > I tried to type N/A instead of keeping it blank but that doesn't work for me... > > (on other pc it works perfectly...) > > Milan > > "Projectability" wrote: > >> Have you tried putting in N/A for the second available to period - if you >> leave it blank this may be causing the problem. >> >> -- >> Dominic Moss >> >> Projectability - Helping People achieve more with Microsoft Project >> >> Check the Downloads section on our Website for useful documents on both >> Project Management and Microsoft Project >> >> www.projectability.co.uk >> >> Why not subscribe to our monthly newsletter for hints tips and views >> >> http://visitor.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001WVdpo956d6lHqIISFtfgVw%3D%3D >> >> >> >> >> >> "Milan Bortel" <MilanBortel(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:D7A986D3-A863-424B-ACC5-8E95261D45F5(a)microsoft.com... >>> Hi, >>> >>> I got really weird bug when trying to set resource availability changing >>> by >>> date in MSP 2007. >>> >>> Situation: >>> default - available from (N/A), available to (N/A), units (100%) >>> >>> change - >>> 1) available from (N/A), available to (12/31/2009), units (100%) >>> 2) available from (1/1/2010), available to (keep this blank), units (50%) >>> >>> When I type in the 50% value it works correctly, but when I try to fill in >>> the value using the spinner instead - MSP crashes. >>> >>> Any ideas why? >>> >>> -- >>> Milan Bortel >>> >>> MCAS, MCTS >>> GOPAS Computer Training Center >>> Brno, Czech Republic >> >> . >>
From: Mike Glen on 5 Nov 2009 04:09 Hi Milan, When you say it works on another PC, is that with the same project? We need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on other PCs? Does it occur with other projects on other PCs? FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/> Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)) Mike Glen MS Project MVP "Milan Bortel" <MilanBortel(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:44DA4529-7893-40E8-AD84-9136737E9445(a)microsoft.com... > I tried to type N/A instead of keeping it blank but that doesn't work for me... > > (on other pc it works perfectly...) > > Milan > > "Projectability" wrote: > >> Have you tried putting in N/A for the second available to period - if you >> leave it blank this may be causing the problem. >> >> -- >> Dominic Moss >> >> Projectability - Helping People achieve more with Microsoft Project >> >> Check the Downloads section on our Website for useful documents on both >> Project Management and Microsoft Project >> >> www.projectability.co.uk >> >> Why not subscribe to our monthly newsletter for hints tips and views >> >> http://visitor.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001WVdpo956d6lHqIISFtfgVw%3D%3D >> >> >> >> >> >> "Milan Bortel" <MilanBortel(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:D7A986D3-A863-424B-ACC5-8E95261D45F5(a)microsoft.com... >> > Hi, >> > >> > I got really weird bug when trying to set resource availability changing >> > by >> > date in MSP 2007. >> > >> > Situation: >> > default - available from (N/A), available to (N/A), units (100%) >> > >> > change - >> > 1) available from (N/A), available to (12/31/2009), units (100%) >> > 2) available from (1/1/2010), available to (keep this blank), units (50%) >> > >> > When I type in the 50% value it works correctly, but when I try to fill in >> > the value using the spinner instead - MSP crashes. >> > >> > Any ideas why? >> > >> > -- >> > Milan Bortel >> > >> > MCAS, MCTS >> > GOPAS Computer Training Center >> > Brno, Czech Republic >> >> >> . >>
From: Milan Bortel on 5 Nov 2009 06:16 Hi Mike, it's like this - we have 12 computers in class and the bug occurs on every pc, no matter what project file you have opened. Even in new created ones. So I guess it's the Project fault. We'll try to install SP2 and see if it helps. I'll let you know. -- Milan Bortel MCAS, MCTS GOPAS Computer Training Center Brno, Czech Republic "Mike Glen" wrote: > Hi Milan, > > When you say it works on another PC, is that with the same project? > > We need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is > Project at fault, or whether it's your PC.

From: Rob Schneider on 5 Nov 2009 06:32 Hunch: It's probably not a bug in Project as others in world would have seen this by now. Maybe the will fix if the flawed file is updated. It's surely something with your installation of Project, Windows, and whatever. try: : reinstall Project : install Project with all SP's on a "fresh" Windows machine (not touched by your students) You previously said that it worked on one machine. That machine now no longer working? What changed. Or what is different about that machine? --rms www.rmschneider.com Milan Bortel wrote: > Hi Mike, > > it's like this - we have 12 computers in class and the bug occurs on every > pc, no matter what project file you have opened.
