SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you connect to a resource pool, if resources are already assigned
to tasks in a project, the tasks for this project will be sorted in
reverse order in the Resource Form in a pool/share file.
 
This behavior is also very noticeable when you use the Combine Resource
Pool feature when you consolidate projects.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft
products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
