Project Resource Hours Subtotals

[lzim]

We have a program of linked projects that use an enterprise resource pool
(Project and Server 2003). In Project's Resource Usage view, hours for all
project work (not only these linked projects but any project that the
resource has been assigned to) is totalled by resource. The resource shows
20,000 total hours but only has 50 hours of work on this particular plan. We
are looking for a way to easily segregate these hours by project. We are
currently accomplishing this by adding a Project column and then deleting any
line item not associated with the project in question. This works to get us
the number, but doesn't stick. Each time we open a project, the total hours
once again reflects all projects the resource is attached to. Is there an
easy way to accomplish this? This is our first attempt at linking projects.
Thanks! (I had this posted in the Project forum & was advised to post here).

Try setting your connection state to manual in Project Pro under
Tools>Enterprise Options>Microsoft Office Project Server Accounts...

Close project and re-open. The next time you log in, you will be prompted
for a server connection. At the bottom of this screen you will see the
option to uncheck "Load Summary Resource Assignments". Uncheck this and it
will remove the other projects lines from the resource usage views.
