I'm using Project 2007 with CA Clarity. I opened the project in Microsoft
Project and scheduled the project. The tasks where dates changed were
highlighted as expected. However, the dates and work effort for one task
along with the activities and phases it is part of continue to change each
time I hit F9. There were NO updates to the plan in between requests to
schedule yet the dates continue to change. Changes to the task type have no
effect on the behavior.

Check the start and finish date of the task. Does a very small triangle
shows up in the bottom right corner of the field?
If so, this is a paste link and could cause the behaviour you are seeing.
Right click the start/finish field and click 'Clear contents' to recover
from this.

You also might want to check the dependencies in the task.

I hope this helps,
Hans

Thanks for the suggestions; no, there were no links pasted to the date
fields. There is a predecessor task with a F-S dependency; it has not
finished yet the resources on the subject task violated the dependency and
started this task. I don't understand why repeated clicks on the F9 key
results in changes to that task's finish date. It pushes out years at a time
with no other updates.
