Global.MPT

[Robin Roe]

Hi

We are using Terminal Server for remote offices to access Project Server. We
also use a generic login for each office as all projects need to be seen and
amended by multiple people.

The problem is, that if there are two users using the same login on TS, the
second user to logon automatically opens the Global.MPT as read only. This is
fine until they close their session which automatically tries to save the
Global.MPT file. Being read only it asks for an alternative name or location.
Is there any way around this?

I need to stick with the generic logins - no way around this.

Thanks

I have bad news for you. If you need to stick with generic TS logins, then
I believe you'll also need to stick with the Read-Only Global.mpt problem.
If two people log into TS using the same account and then launch Microsoft
Project, the first person gets to open the Global.mpt file Read/Write. Each
successive user accessing the system with the same TS account will only be
allowed to open the Global.mpt file Read-Only. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale

Was afraid you would say that.
