SYMPTOMS
When you assign a resource to multiple projects in Microsoft Office Project 2003, the remaining work value for the resource is incorrect. This problem usually occurs in the Resource Usage view.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the remaining work value for the unopened projects is equal to the total work value for all the resources for the unopened projects. However, the remaining work value will change if one of the unopened projects to which you assign the resources is opened.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, do one of the following:
 * Open the unopened projects to update the data in the plan.
 * Create a master project. Then, expand the master project.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
