PRJ98: Crash When Opening Project Edited in Database (189899)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1)
This article was previously published under Q189899 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98 Service Release 1 (SR-1), when you open a project
that was saved in the database format, you may receive the following error
message:
Windows 95/98
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 an error message similar to the
following
WINPROJ caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at <address>.
Windows NT
An Application Error has occurred and an application error log is being generated.
Winproj.exe
Exception access violation (0xc0000005), address: <address>.
CAUSE
This problem may occur when all of the following conditions occur:
- You open a project that was saved in a database format.
- The project database was edited outside of Microsoft Project. For
example, in Microsoft Access.
- The External_Edit_Flag field in the Project_Information table of the
database is not set to True (for Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL
Server) or 1 (for Oracle Server) after editing the project
database.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, edit the database and change the External_Edit_Flag field in the Project_Information table. Change the value to True for Access and SQL Server databases or 1 for Oracle Server databases.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
For more information about this problem, please see the database.wri file
that shipped with Project SR-1.
