Shared resources

if you are using a resource pool but add resources to an indviduall project, it updates the resource pool aswell, how can you stop this

RE: shared resources

Jason

Thanks for your question

Try the following to disconnect the active project file from the resource pool or other file that it is connected to and sharing resources with.

Open the resource pool that contains the resources that you are sharing.
In the Open Resource Pool dialog box, click Open resource pool read/write so that you can change resource information. Keep in mind that opening the pool with read/write permission keeps others from updating the pool with new information.
Open your project.
With your project open, on the Tools menu, point to Resource Sharing, and then click Share Resources.
Click Use own resources, and then click OK.
Click Save .
On the Window menu, click the resource pool file.
On the File menu, click Save .

I hope this answers your question

regards

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
