How do I remove an inserted project plan from a master schedule?

[Jeanne]

I have been using a master project plan that contains dozens of individual
project schedules. To add a project I select insert> project (and then
locate the file)
Historically, to remove a project plan after it is complete I would select
project > task information and then on the advanced tab I would de-select the
check box to "Link to project". Once the project was de-selected I would be
able to delete it from my master list but its no longer letting me.

Can someone please tell me if there have been any changes or if there is
another way to remove completed projects from my master?

Thanks

Hi Jeanne,

You don't mention what version of MS Project you are using but Project 2003
without the service pack did show some trouble with deleting master projects.
Check Help > About Microsoft Office Project to see if you have SP-1
installed or SP-2 installed. If you are using Project 2003 and do not have
Service Pack 2 (the latest SP) installed, I suggest installing it and seeing
if the problem goes away.

Service Pack 2 (which includes Service Pack 1) can be downloaded from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EF-AF64-444D-942D-1188843A8FA4&displaylang=en

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I just got a new machine and didn't realize that IT did not get the service
pac. Thanks for the tip. All is well for me now.
