Hi Dave,

Well, at least you finally found the method that works -- I'm sure you
wish you found it sooner :-)

I wouldn't call the process a "bug" -- just a small quirk. In order to
create assignments, Project needs both resources and tasks. You may be
able to import both tasks and resources with one import, allowing
Project to create the unique IDs it needs for both. Then import the
assignments.
