Linking Workplans

[tonik]

I will be linking 3 workplans together to form one master workplan #1). One
of those 3 workplans will actually be a masterplan (#2) that incorporates 8
(team) workplans. My question: When either of the 8 team workplans are
updated, which in turn updates the masterplan (#2) they are linked to, will
the overall masterplan (#1, of which masterplan #2 is a part of) also be
updated automatically. Or am I just dreaming that a master workplan can
actually be a sub-plan of an overall master workplan?

tanik,
Project can handle up to 1000 consolidated projects (Project 2000). I'm
not absolutely sure but I believe that also applies to levels of
consolidation so your 3 levels are no problem. I routinely use a master
plan that has 4 levels of consolidation.

Hope this helps.

You are welcome. I'm glad we could be of assistance. That's why we are

One other question that comes to mind on my "linking master workplans into a
master workplans" qestion, please. Will this work if we are keeping all the
plans in the area of a database tool (we use QuickPlace)?....or does this
only work if I have Project Server, etc.?
