Sharing a project

[dt]

I am not familiar with Project so bear with me. Can you have a project
which is then shared with say 3 people on the same LAN all moding it at the
same time, how does that work or is an upgrade required?

Hi,

No, sorry, and no upgrade or other feature allows it.
First to open has Read/Write, the others read only.

Does that apply even if you are using Project Manager Server?

Hi Dave,

Yes. No version/installation allows simultaneous read/write access
to a project file by more than one user.

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

Hi Julie

Thanks for that - seems odd though that MS don't have a multi-user Project
application.

Can more than one view it at the same time?

You're welcome Dave. Yes, more than one person can *view* an MS
Project file but only one at a time for read/write access. The one
exception to this is resource pool files. A properly configured
resource pool file will allow multiple users to have the file opened
read-only but they can write their assignment values to the pool.
