My name is Luka Gospodnetic and I work in the company named IN2 (Zagreb). Welcome to my blog which is dedicated to Microsoft Office Project 2007 and it's connection to project management. The blog will cover MS Project basics, advanced issues and also some nice tips & tricks that I hope will help current and maybe future users to master their ability to use MS Project. From time to time I will also try to provide a fun (realistic? :) ) side of the project management such as images, quotes etc.

If you have any questions or just want to say hello, don't hesitate to contact me:

Out of memory - MS Project 2007

I suppose not many people experienced “out of memory” message from the MS Project 2007.  While doing some reading, I came across a Microsoft article which lists MS Project 2007 limitations. These limitations are supported only if you are running Project on Vista or on XP Service Pack 2. So for the rest of the operating systems you could get slightly different numbers. Also, limitations can depend on your computer configuration.

Hi,

If you were referring to the date that is being shown in the bottom left corner, then you must adjust your computer system time.

I just tested this theory by making a print preview of Gantt chart, and the date was changed when I adjusted the system time to 2005.

It is possible that you are experiencing problem with you battery on your mother board. Usually you can detect that the battery is almost “finished” when system time begins to change.

If you were referring to some other date, or the system time is correct, please let me know.

HTH,

Luka
