Resource Pool file mishap on save

O

Ol' MSCS Hack

NOT Project 2003 SERVER. My 4 files are located on a drive on the network.
1 thru 3 are the individual schedules. They all share resources with the
resource pool file and are prioritized. after they are open for a time, the
3 proj files will save. When I hit save for the resource pool file get a
dialog box "THE FILE CANNOT BE OPENED, CHECK THAT THE FILE NAME IS CORRECT
BLAH BLAH IF YOUR FILE IS FROM AN EARLIER VERSION SO ON SO ON." Could I
have a network prob or is it a glitch in Standard 2003? My other apps that
have my files on the network are fine lotus, office, ACAD, etc.

Forgot to say that when I open the resource pool file I use the 2nd option
"Open Read Write Only" I only get "1" save then the error dialog box on the
2nd save attempt

I suspect you have corrupted your resource pool. If at any time you
over-wrote a copy of one of your projects, renamed it or moved it without
first disengaging from the pool you will sooner or later get a corruption.
Be very careful.

Open the pool
In each file select use own resources and SAVE
Delete the pool file and create a new blank project for the new pool
Share in each project. All resources are copied automatically to the pool.
Close and SAVE all projects.

Never, move, copy or over-write any of the four files without first
unsharing.
