Here is what I think it has to do with - the default setting for each project is "shared". I change it to exclusive it to exclusive and open it. But when I close and look at it again all the files default back to shared. My guess is that P6 is not letting you make a shared file a baseline. I have no way to keep it exclusive - is this a citrix thing? is this a admin thing. I have used P6 for 30 thirty at 25 different places but am new on this setup. I am not an admin person. Any ideas?
