Just checking the obvious—you're using LEED Online v3, for a LEED 2009 project?I haven't had this problem, but could check around.

Yes, LEED CI 2009 project on the new leedonline.com. The MR credit forms I'm referring to have "BETA" written across the bottom of them. Our contractor brought the issue to our attention (after getting really frustrated). To verify the problem, I tried inputting some numbers on MRc4, saved the form, and went to MRc5,6 and 7. Sure enough, none of the material information I had entered appeared on these forms. Went back to MRc4 and the data was still there, though. Has the materials data transferred properly between MR credits for others?

Patrick, the MR forms were updated as recently as May 2010, and are no longer in Beta. Use the feedback form on LEED Online to ask USGBC to update your project's forms. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Hopefully the LEED Online people will tell you that any data that has been entered on the forms when they are updated will be deleted with the update. What they won't tell you is the re-entry process is extremely slow as the data populates the other forms. You have to do the update if you are submitting for the Recycled Content credits because the Beta form doesn't calculate properly. Also, unless there has been another update in the past month, you need to put a number in every box in the column for MRc4. If there is no recycled content in a line item you still need to put a zero or the form won't calculate. The delay in data entry makes this particularly painful. Fortunately, this seems to be the only of the linked credits that requires the zeros.
