Shared Resource

Hi, I have created a master resource sheet which includes everyone in my team. I have also created 6 projects which in turn make up one main project. I have imported each of the 6 projects into a project plan and shared resources with the master resource sheet. I have saved and closed then re-opened the project plan which prompts the resource sheet to open too. The problem that I have is that I can assign resource to main tasks but not to sub tasks. I had this problem in the training too so must be doing something wrong lol.
Also when I close the files i receive a script error which says there is and error on line 236, character 4. the error is "object doesn't support this property or method". I have no idea what this means

thanks,

Darren.

RE: Shared Resource

Hi Darren, I'm sorry to hear this is causing problems. One thing to check is that each of your sub projects is connected to the resource pool before merging them into one file. The connection to the pool takes place with each project rather than the combined project file. Once you've done this you can create a merged file by opening the resource pool choosing the third option from the dialogue box.

I hope this helps - let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
