Advantages of Project 2007 over Project 2003

[Zavier]

Hi friends,
I am using the Microsoft Office 2003 and usually I use the Project 2003. Now the Microsoft Office 2007 is out. Since it is the advanced version of 2003, there should be definitely some advantages of Project 2007 over Project 2003. Also I came to know that there are many issues fixed in Project 2007.!? I want you to help me in providing some information about it. Also please tell me the advantages of Project 2007 over Project 2003.

The following are some issues that are solved in Project 2007 :

• If the results contain cost profile zero-day cost, days nonzero costs Cost displays incorrect values.
• You save a model project resource allocations of cost. If resource assignments have a cost value of work to complete totaling zero percent on the day cost level is reduced.
• When you add the actual cost to a cost allocation of resources on a day no expected cost, the cost amounts of the chronological section does not match the amounts of cost of part of sheet.

When you change the actual costs time, a different behavior occurs in the following circumstances :

• If the resource assignment cost, which includes the cost has been affected in isolation, the cost data appear in the day in which he was assigned.
• If the cost of resource allocation, and a work resource has been assigned to a task, the cost data displayed in the wrong day. In addition, the start day of the task may change.

Also when you enter actual cost for a task, the task end date is. In addition, the new date differs from the closing date of the assignment.

The cost profile is not distributed properly in the month when the following conditions is met :

• Actual costs are entered before the profile.
• The duration and rates exceed a monthly limit.

When you add real cost to a resource assignment cost, any increase in the planned cost increases in the total time on the cost side. However, the game sheet is not increased. When you assign resource costs to the end dates of a task of fixed duration, time does not reduce value. In addition, the amount of time differs from the number of days between the start date and end date for the task.

Specific problems of stability custom fields are also fixed in Project 2007, which is described as follows :

• When you try to open a project that contains a custom field, Project 2007 stops responding if the custom field contains scalar data and was modified to use a lookup table. In addition, you can not save this project in Project Server 2007. The registration fails.
• When you save a project, code data at several hierarchical levels in the project are not preserved.
• When you save a project as XML, negative values are converted to positive values.

• When you receive an error message in Project 2007, a request message archiving may appear.
• When you save a project plan, resource, or another file Project Professional 2007, an Error dialog box may appear blank.

The above are also some issues that are solved in the Project 2007.
