SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you print or print preview the Resource Graph view, the graph bars may be printed outside of the graph area (on the y-axis), for example in the header or footer area.
NOTE: In addition to bars in the Resource Graph view you may see this behavior when you use Area, Step, Line and Step Line to display your data.
CAUSE
The problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:
- A resource is assigned to more than one task.The Current Date + the maximum task elapsed duration * number of
resources > End of Time (December 31, 2049)More than 14 resources are assigned to tasks in the
project.
- The Current Date + the maximum task elapsed duration * number of
resources > End of Time (December 31, 2049)More than 14 resources are assigned to tasks in the
project.
- More than 14 resources are assigned to tasks in the
project.
For example, suppose you have a 1,000-day task and 16 resources. Also, suppose weekends are non-working. Entering these values into the formula in condition 2, you get Current Date + (1000 days * (7/5)) * 16 resources = 22,400 days. (The 7/5 represents five of seven days per week). Take 22,400/365 days = 61+ years. Add the 61+ years to 1999 and you exceed December 31, 2049.
WORKAROUND
There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
When you use a resource pool project, you may see different results depending on whether you print or print preview from the resource pool, or from a project that is sharing the resource pool.
