Resource Pool - going mobile

[Steve Scott]

If I set up a standard resource pool sing Project Standard..what happens when
my PMs take their plans off the network server to work from home ie they are
no longer connected to the Resource Pool..what potential issues do I need to
be aware of?

HI,

First, they should NOT, repeat NOT, NEVER, Save As.. their project with the
pool open.
They can copy the file without Project being open, and put the updated
version back in the same spot when they come back.
And while working at home, when opening the file, tehy should of course
answer "do not open other files".

Hope this helps,
