In some cases, when a project is saved to the server and the save process fails, the next time you try to save the project, not a
saved.
In some situations, a project's data can get damaged in the local cache. After this happens, Project may still attempt to save th
the Project server and may fail in the process. Then, you receive error messages that resemble the following:_x000D_
_x000D_

When additional work is added to assignments that are on fixed duration tasks, the new work is spread incorrectly over a long

work being spread over an additional day, it is spread over three additional days.
When fixed costs are assigned to summary tasks, the accrual may not be correct. Instead of the cost getting spread across the
