Link MSP 2003 projects stored on SharePoint 2003 site

[CJTyo]

I am trying to figure out how to create a Master MSP 2003 file comprised of a
handful of subprojects all stored on a SharePoint 2003 site.

When I create my Master file and attempt to insert the subprojects I, of
course, get errors about the http: file path to the project files on
SharePoint.

I read somewhere about being able to do the linking if you know the
SharePoint server name, but I haven't had any luck tracking that down.

Is there a known way to do this? Or is this a known issue that can't be done?

Thanks!
C

Thanks, Mike, but I really think this is an MSP question and not a server
question. We're not using MS Project Server.

Hi CJTyo,

I don't run Sharepoint here, but I do know (from working with clients
who use SP) that you cannot store consolidated projects on a Sharepoint
site. A quick search on google groups seems to indicate others having
the same problems you report. I don't see any work arounds posted.

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

In that case, we'll have to await a server expert to answer as I don't have
a server
Sorry I can't help.

Thanks to you and Julie. I had a feeling it can't be done... dang.

Hi CJTyo,

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. Sorry to be the bearer of
what is most likely bad news. To confirm you may want to post to the
SharePoint newsgroup site - but I'm afraid the answer may be can't be
done.
