Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

"Update Existing" resources etc - what exactly is being updated? How come all my projects bleed together for resources?

 Existing" resources etc - what exactly is being updated?  How come all my projects bleed together for resources?  - If I say "use existing" for calendar or resources - and it changed in update - won't my project not match the original import?

Hmm.  'Bleed together for resources' - this sounds a bit like a query about all projects sharing the same pool of resources. Which is correct, and almost the whole point of an enterprise-wide project management system. You can partition the resource dictionary such that you can emulate project-specific resources.


If, on import, you chose 'use existing' then the project might not match the original exported project, calendar details, resource availability etc.
