PRJ98: Incorrect Resource Work Contour on Fixed Work Task
This article was previously published under Q184610
In Microsoft Project 98, when you change the duration of a task that has
one or more resources assigned to it, the work contour of a resource
assigned to the task might not be correct.
This behavior occurs when you change the duration of a task that has a Task
Type of Fixed Work and has resources assigned with a Work Contour other
than Flat, such as a Bell or a Custom contour.
To work around this behavior, manually correct the contour to reflect the
appropriate values of work.
To change work values for a specific time period during which the resource
works on the task, follow these steps:
- On the View Bar, click Task Usage.
NOTE: Resources are grouped under the tasks to which they are
assigned. - On the timescale portion of the view, if needed, change the
individual work values for the resource(s) assigned to the
task.
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).

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
