SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Microsoft Project, when you select the Don't Tell Me About This
Again check box in a Planning Wizard dialog box that appears because
of a scheduling conflict in your project, you still receive an error
message if this scheduling conflict occurs again.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The Planning Wizard is a tool that provides you with hints while you
schedule tasks in your project. When you create a scheduling conflict
in your project, for example by setting the start date for a task
before the project start date, the Planning Wizard dialog box that
appears gives you the option to cancel the action, or to continue
with the action and allow the conflict. In addition, some of the
Planning Wizards give you the additional option to continue with the
action, but avoid a scheduling conflict, for example by changing a
nonworking day to a working day.
 
If you receive a Planning Wizard dialog box, and you always want to
allow this particular conflict, you can choose the Don't Tell Me
About This Again check box, and that individual Planning Wizard will
not appear again. You may receive an error message when you perform
this action again; however, you can choose OK when the error message
appears and the action is allowed.
 
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
 
1. In a new project, choose Options from the Tools menu. Select the General
   tab. Under Planning Wizard, select the Advice From PlanningWizard check
   box, and then select each of the Advice About check boxes. Choose OK.
 
2. Enter a task, T1. Drag the task bar for T1 to the left on the Gantt
   chart so that the task starts before the project start date.
 
4. In the Planning Wizard dialog box that appears with the message that you
   moved task 1 to start before the project start date, select the Don't
   Tell Me About This Again check box. Choose OK.
 
5. Enter another task, T2. Drag the task bar for T2 to the left on the
   Gantt chart so that the task starts before the project start date, but
   after T1.
 
The following error message appears:
 
   Start of task 2 of 'Project1' is before the project starts.
