SYMPTOMS
A local calendar in a published project plan is inserted into multiple published project plans in Microsoft Project Server 2002.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when you perform the following actions:
 * 1) You publish a new project plan that has a local calendar in Microsoft Project Professional 2002.
 * 2) You open one or more other published project plans, without closing the new project plan.
 * 3) You save the other projects when you close them.

In Microsoft Project Server 2002, local calendars are introduced to the enterprise environment and inserted into enterprise project plans if you open enterprise project plans when the project plan that has the local calendar is also open.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods:
 * Exclude non-enterprise calendars from project plans that you publish to the enterprise environment.
 * If you open a published project plan that has a local calendar and also open other published project plans at the same time, make sure that you close the other project plans without saving them.



STATUS
This issue is resolved in Microsoft Office Project Server 2003.

Enterprise standard calendars are required to:

</li> Click OK if you receive the following message:

The currency for this project is different from the currency specified in the enterprise global template.

If you save this file, the currency setting of the enterprise global template will overwrite the currency setting of this project and its tasks, but not its resources. Click OK to save the file, or click Cancel to keep this project's setting.

</li> On the Collaborate menu, point to Publish, and then click All Information.

The project contains non-enterprise calendars.

Your Microsoft Project Server does not allow non-enterprise base calendars, but this project contains non-enterprise base calendars including;

LocalCalendar

First remove all dependencies that the project, tasks, and local resources have on non-enterprise calendars. Then delete them from the Calendar tab of the Organizer in the Tools menu.

Note This message warns you that a local calendar is detected in the previously published project plan. However, the message does not provide an option to avoid this issue.</li> <li>Click OK.

Note When you click OK, you open the previously published project plan, and the local calendar is inserted. Therefore, if you save the previously published project plan before closing, the local calendar is saved also. This sequence of events will occur for any number of published project plans.</li></ol> </li></ol>
