SYMPTOMS

When using the Web Workgroup feature, the performance of Microsoft Project may be reduced.

CAUSE

You may see this behavior when the following conditions are true:

  • The Notify when new web messages arrive option is enabled. (This option is located on the Workgroup tab of the Options dialog box.)

  • Your network connection to the Web server is slow.
NOTE: Microsoft Project checks for new Web messages approximately every 5 minutes.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, if you do not require the Notify when new web messages arrive option, turn it off. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu click Options, and then click the Workgroup tab.
  2. Click to clear the Notify when new web messages arrive check box.
  3. Click OK.
