PRJ98: Project Crashes When You Paste Tasks or Resources
This article was previously published under Q186093
In Microsoft Project 98, when you paste tasks or resources in a project,
you may receive one of the following error messages.
In Windows 95
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
When you click Details, you receive the following error message:
WINPROJ caused an invalid page fault in module WINPROJ.EXE at <address>.
In Windows NT
An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated.
WINPROJ.EXE
Exception: access violation <number>, Address: <address>.
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
The project contains close to the limit of about 7,500 individually
formatted cells, or 3,500 individually formatted task bars.
-and-
You paste tasks that have individually formatted cells or bars. Or, you
paste resources that have individually formatted cells.
To work around this behavior, paste tasks in a view that does not contain
formatted cells or bars. For example, create a new
Task Sheet view or
Resource Sheet view. To create a new view, follow these steps:
- On the View menu, click More Views.
- Click New, and then click OK.
- In the View Definition in <Project Name>
dialog box, type a Name for the new view, then pick the type of
Screen, Table, and Filter you want to use. Click OK.
- Click Apply.
You can now paste tasks safely, because the new view contains no individual
bar or cell formating.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
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.
