Relocating a Resource Pool

W

Wolfspaw

Assume that a resource pool that has many linked projects must be relocated
to a different drive and folder. How do you update all of the project links?
Please tell me that there is a way besides manually breaking each link and
then relinking.

Thanks

Wolfspaw --

I believe the only way to accomplish this is to break the links from the
resource pool to all sharer projects, move the resource pool, and then
relink the sharer projects. Sorry for the bad news. I believe you can
simplify the process of breaking the links a little bit by using the
following steps:

1. Open the shared resource pool file in Read/Write mode
2. Click Tools - Resource Sharing - Share Resources
3. In the sharing links pane, select all of the projects and click the Open
button (NOT the Open All button)
4. After all the files open, return to the shared resource pool file
5. Click Tools - Resource Sharing - Share Resources again
6. In the sharing links pane, select all of the projects and click the
Break Link button
7. Save and close the shared resource pool
8. Save and close each project

Step #3 will open every sharing file individually that is connected to the
resource pool. Step #5 will break the link between every project and the
resource pool. After performing these steps, you will need to reestablish
the links between the sharer projects and the resource pool file in its new
location. Hope this helps.
