Standard Resource Listing - not Resource Pool

[Andrew]

Is there a way that I can save a standard set of resources in my global file
so that if I open up anew project I can access the resource list. I do not
want to set up a resource pool as I want to start each job with the same set
of resources, I will be altering them slightly to suit each contract ie I
will be adding in company names after the resource name Carpenter - joe bloggs

Hi Andrew,

No, sorry. Only with Project server can you store resources outside
an mpp file. You could certainly create a list in a project file
(without assignments) and then copy/paste the list to a new project
file. You could also use the option to create a project file based
on another project to avoid the copy/paste step.

If it truly is a different set of resources but with similar names,
rates, that's what I'd do.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

You can save a file as a template file with the resources in (Tools/Save
As and then choose the option to save as a .mpt file).

I thought that might be the case - I have a standard programme file with the
resources in it and I just copy all the resources and paste into new projects
- Guess I was being a bit lazy !!!!. Thankyou for your help

You're welcome Andrew. Glad to have helped and thanks for the
feedback. Sorry the answer wasn't exactly what you hoped to hear
Oh, and it's not lazy -- just the desire for more efficiency
