HI folks
I previously asked about a problem we were having with custom fields being corrupted ... see: thread913-1705839
We are still getting this (or a very similar) problem and it's becoming a real pain.
In brief:
[li]I run an macro to extract data including custom fields from all the plans in a folder and everything is fine.[/li]
[li]Later in the day the output from the same macro shows corrupt data in a number of custom fields for one or two plans (and on examination of the .mpp file those field headers for the custom fields are trashed too).[/li]
[li]The date & time stamp for the file shows that it was last updated before the original extract.[/li]
[li]What we know has happened between the two iterations of the extract is that we insert the plans as sub-projects into a master plan in order to produce another report .... this master plan is then closed without saving. There may be other things happening but I am not aware of them.[/li]
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Kevin
