Disappearing Task Names in MS Project Professional V2007 - Microsoft Community


i have serious problem ms project 2007 happens randomly have never seen after using ms project forever.   have medium size project 500- 600 tasks consist of multiple rolled projects in portfolio.  i use 1 file instead of sub projects in multiple files have in 1 file can show management yearly portfolio view of rolled projects (summary tasks) can expand each 1 go through list.   keep these projects rolled summary tasks , if want add tasks or change expand particular project , modifications or status updates of progress made.  the file size approx 1.34 mb.

on several occasions (again today!) on course of month or when open file , expand project , make changes or additions large number of task descriptions below project modifying go blank!  all detail besides task name still there , structure of tasks indented plus signs show see each line there not descriptions of tasks.  if double click on task open details task name blank other details of task there!  

if notice missing task names, can close file , reopen last saved copy , names there if dont notice task names missing , save file , go working next time open file names gone , have lost revisions made , have remember changes made.  i dont want have expand each summary level through 600 tasks each time make sure names there.  i spend lot of time updating many task completion percentages when updating status of each project hard recreate details changed if had team recreate done. 

this has shaken confidence in product!  i have used project longer can remember , have never seen issue before.   company working has v2007 standard , have convinced them upgrade v2016 perplexed issue , after reading years of complaints many many threads dumbfounded why has gone on long without resolution.   i'm hoping v 2016 solves issue many in company not use v2016 may have save file in v2007 format share others. 

i have upgraded ram 16gb because read somewhere thought low virtual memory possibility after upgraded problem still exists because happened today me. 

after googling, have read many posts regarding , thing seems fix upgrading newer versions see posts through version 2013 happening folks.  can shed some light on me?

the version using ms office project professional 12.0.6607.1000 sp3 mso   i'm using windows 10 on lenovo t460 laptop.

bmark,

even though using version of project problematic, @ least updated. i'm glad decided put in single file master files inserted subprojects prone corruption.

nonetheless, sounds view may corrupt. try this. save file xml. re-open xml file in project. clears file corruption.

hope helps.
