SYMPTOMS
========
 
The Resource Group column in a task table may display only one resource
group even though there are multiple resources assigned to the task.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This problem occurs if one of the resource group names is entirely
contained within another resources group name, and the resource whose group
name is a subset of the other resources group name is assigned second.
 
Example
-------
 
Resource1 Group Name = Tester
Resource2 Group Name = Test
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To work around this problem, do the following:
 
1. Assign the resource whose group name is a subset of the other group name
   first, then assign the other group name. For the example above, you
   would first assign Resource2(Test) and then reassign Resource1(Tester).
 
2. Change the Group name such that its text is not found in another group's
   name. For the above example you would Change Resource2 Group Name from
   Test, to Test1.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the 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.
