Linking resource pool to Master or Sub Project?

[Joe]

I want to use a master project with separate sub-projects
for each development release I am managing. Since these
releases overlap, I can add new releases and drop off
releases that are now close.

I also use a common resource pool. All of the sub-
projects will use the same resource pool file. Do I link
the master project file to the resource pool? Which would
make each sub-project file automatically be linked to the
pool file. Or do I need to link each individual sub-
project to the resource pool?

Hi Joe
You will need to share the resource pool with all the subprojects and the master project
Good Luck

I never link the master to the pool. It is generally empty so there is no
point in linking the emptiness to the pool.
