Server 2007 - Enterprise Calendar

[Rachel]

We are using MS Project 2007 locally, we are not going to publish the
schedule. Initially I created the standard calendar in PWA and the project
adopted this schedule. I need to update the calendar and have done so PWA.
However, the local project is not adopting the changes. If I start a new
project, the new project has the updated holidays. How do I get the old
project to adopt the updated calendar? I've tried going to Tools / Change
Working Time and reselect the calendar, and it is still not working. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Rachel

Rachel --

Because you are working with the project locally, the project is no longer
an enterprise project. It is a LOCAL project and its calendar is now a
LOCAL calendar. And because of this, there is no automatic way to update
the project with the changes to the enterprise calendar. The mystery to me
is why you would be saving this project as a local project. Why isn't this
project saved in the Project Server system? If it were, the calendar would
be updated immediately the next time you opened it. By using it as a local
project, you are defeating the purpose of using the Project Server system.

If you want to go to a lot of manual work, you can open the local project,
create a new blank enterprise project, and then click Tools - Organizer -
Calendar. In the Organizer dialog, select the local project in the list on
the right, select the new blank project in the list on the left, then select
the calendar on the left (the updated calendar) and then click the Copy
button and then overwrite the calendar in the local project. But that's
purely manual, and not automatic.

Hope this helps.
