SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you save a baseline, the file size of a
project may substantially increase, to as much as five times larger.
CAUSE
This problem may occur when the resource calendar is either:
- Not based on the Standard calendar.
-or-
- Based on the Standard calendar that has been modified with a large
number of calendar exceptions.
NOTE: The Standard calendar is the default calendar titled Standard when
you create a new project. Its working time is 8:00 A.M .to 12:00 P.M. and
1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday are
nonworking days.
Calendar exceptions are any customizations of the calendar, for example,
making New Years Day and Christmas nonworking days, or creating a vacation
of five days.
RESOLUTION
If you do not have costs assigned to resources in your project, this problem will be reduced if you install Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).
To work around this problem, use the default Standard calendar.
STATUS
This problem was improved in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service
Release 1 (SR-1).
