I just updated several sections of a baselined MS Project 2003 Plan. I had already situated a cost column (with $ totals). After adjusting the sections, the individual (low level) items do not roll up the total(s) correctly. The overall high level calculation is way overstated (almost double). I cannot seem to correct the problem or have Project invoke a recalculation. I have tried a number of things, to no avail. The official MS Project 2003 guide does not provide any insight that I can find. What am I missing? How do I overcome this? Any assistance would be great.

Total of Cost Rollups not calculating correctly

When you have progress on a task and update the baseline for that task you will get some very strange numbers. To rebaseline a task, set the percent complete or physical percent complete to zero then rebaseline the task. Make sure you reflect the correct roll up check box. If you want the summary tasks to update you must so indicate in the dialog boxes. I usually copy the progress to a text field or number field so that I get the correct value re-entered.
