Issue/Introduction

When you attempt to add resources to projects in Microsoft Project (MSP) via Resources->Assign Resources, you receive a pop-up message "Project has stopped working" and you are forced to close MSP.

Resolution

This issue is fixed in the Microsoft Project February 2016 Update and higher. See KB3114714 for more details on this fix.
