Replacing local resources

[Sally]

Hi folks,

I have a user who built a team with enterprise resources (last name first
name convention) and then added the same people as local resources (first
name last name convention). Tasks were assigned to both the local and
enterprise resources. The local resources predominate and they have hours
associated with them. Hours are not important on this project (using fixed
duration) but the percent complete is. If I delete the hours from the local
resources and replace them one by one with the enterprise resource will I
impact the percent complete. How would you suggest fixing this problem so
that we can publish this project (the colloborate publish not the save
publish).

Best regards,

Sally --

Have you tried the following to resolve this problem:

1. Select all tasks assigned to a local resource
2. Click the Assign Resources button to open the Assign Resources dialog
3. In the dialog, select the name of the assigned local resource and then
click the Replace button
4. Pick the name of the same-named enterprise resource and then click OK
5. Select the tasks assigned to another local resource and repeat steps
#2-4 above

Let us know.
