SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you open a consolidated project, cross- project links or inserted project links may become disabled. In addition, an indicator with the following message may appear in the Indicator column:

This inserted project, \, is not valid. A project can be inserted only once in a consolidated project.

This error message may occur when the following conditions are true:


 * You open a consolidated project.


 * The consolidated project is the source of resource sharing for the projects that are inserted in it.

 * After you moved the projects each time, you did the following:


 * You opened the resource pool with Read/Write access.
 * You chose not to open other files.
 * You saved the projects.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install Microsoft Project 98 for Windows Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To work around this problem, do not move the files using Windows Explorer or programs other than Microsoft Project. Instead, save the projects to a new location.
