I am having trouble with the Resource Pool Feature.
Be very careful with pools, NEVER:
over-write linked files
move linked files
delete a linked file without having the pool open and then save BOTH the pool and the file. Information about the link is saved in the linked files AND the pool and if the information is not changed in both at the same time, corruption happens sooner or later.
For example, to take a project away on a laptop then return with an updated schedule you should:
Open the project
Open the resource pool in write mode
Select Tools, Resource Sharing, Share Resources Select use own resources
Save BOTH files
Take project away
On return open the pool in write mode
Open the project
Share resources
Save BOTH files
