Using the Resource Pool

[tbeau]

Where can I find info on how to setup and use a global resource pool?

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by Global?
In project server or in a Project Standard or Pro environment?

Hi tbeau ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

If you using Project Standard, then you might like to have a look at my

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the articles before leaving the site,
Thanks.)

If you're using Project Pro and Server, try posting on the server newsgroup.

Sorry ... using MSP 2002 Pro and looking for info on using the resource pool.

What I would like is to enable our 5-7 PM's to access the resource pool, but
keep some control over any updates to the pool to ensure all are working with
the same resources and availabilities.

Hi,

Put the pool in a directory that is read-only for them.
