MSPS 2003 - Master Projects

[coleen.anderson]

I am attempting to open 3 selected schedules from PWA in a master
project. I get an error from VBScript: Microsoft Office Project Web
Access 2003 - The selected project(s) could not be opened in Project.
Each file will open individually without a problem. These schedules
have 4 tasks with inter-schedule relationships. This is our first
venture into creating inter-schedule relationships. I have confirmed
that opening a master schedule for selected projects works for other
projects, so suspect that there is something about these schedules
that could be causing the problem. Am I overlooking something in the
creation of the inter-schedule relationship? Basically, I followed
the standard process using predecessor/successor and linking to tasks
across the 3 schedules.

Hi Coleen,
A work around would be to open Project Pro, and the Insert the 3 projects.
This way you can see the interdependcies. Also, you can save the master
project as an MPP file (or indeed you can save it to the server, or publish
it but that's not recommended). Saving it as a single MPP file which
references the inserted projects will make tracking the programme much easier.

HTH,
