Use of Central Resource Pool causes crashes in Project 2003 profes

[Petervdb]

Hi,

I am using Project 2003 professional within my organisation and I am
building a small workgroup of about 5 or 6 projects all using a central
resource pool. I have set this up successfully once before. However this
time as I try to share resources from the resource pool Microsoft project
tells me an error occured and it has to close project down. I click to allow
a report to be sent off, but I cannot find any reason why it is doing this.
It does it on every single project I try to share resources with.

Any advice would be great

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

Could it be that the pool is itself linked to a pool, or that one of the
linked projects is a pool itself?

Thanks for the thought, but no. The resource pool is the only one, and the
sub projects link to it. There are no other resources. The question in my
mind is that the crash is not a graceful fault handling mechanism. If there
was an issue with the way I was setting it up I would expect the program to
handle this more gracefully.
