SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, if you remove all resources from a task, the Work
assigned to the task is also removed.
Although you might expect that a Fixed Work task would not lose assigned
work when a resource is removed, this behavior occurs for all types of
tasks: Fixed Work, Fixed Duration, and Fixed Units.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, reassign the value of Work to the task after
removing all the task's resources.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service
Release 1 (SR-1).
