Importing Resources Error

[Chris M]

I have a project that a PM gave me that he wants to add to
Project Server. It has resources that I would like to add
to the Resource Pool. When I use the Import Resource
feature to add the resources I get an error that
the "Calendar is Invalid" for all the resouces that the
tool is trying to import. The calendar listed next to
each resource is "Standard" and highlighted in red. There
are no other calendars to select from Both the Enterprise
Global Template and the new project have "Standard"
calendars. I have not checked to see if they are the same
calendar.

What does this error message mean and how do I fix it?

Chris:

Your account may not have the permissions necessary to import these
resources. Try using the built-in Administrator's account to perform this
action and let us know if this makes a difference.

The account has administrative permissions. I had no
problem using the import resouces feature with another
PM's project. I am wondering if the the standard calendar
in the Enterprise Global Template and the standard
calendar on the local project are not the same and that is
causing us problems. Any thoughts?

So did you try my suggestion?

Sorry, Gary. I did not try it before responding but just
did and I am still getting the error message "Invalid base
calendar". Any thoughts?

Chris:

What is the value in the workgroup field for the resources you're trying to
import? Is it set to default?

Chris:

Can you copy the resource information into another plan and import it that
way?
