Schedule Calculation Too Deep

Problem

getting "calculation too deep" message when changing an Estimate.
Estimate recalculates verrrry slowly.

Occurs only in versions 2.2 and 2.3 of Goldenseal estimating software

Diagnosis

This problem was caused by a couple of bugs in the project schedule calculation. It will definitely happen when the schedule has an item start time that is exactly midnight (it makes an infinite loop til it 'times out' with the too deep message). Apparently something else would also make it do the same thing. We never found the specific cause of that problem, but just rewrote everything to be more solid.

Solution

Problems reduced in the Goldenseal construction estimating software program version 2.31 and fixed totally in 2.4.

No real workaround. Either ignore messages and wait for recalc, or get newer version.
