SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you stop sharing resources from a resource pool, resources that are not assigned in the active project remain in the list of resources for the active project.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Delete the Resources Manually
- On the View menu, click Resource Sheet.
- On the Window menu, click Split.
- Click the first resource and look in the bottom pane to see if any tasks are assigned. If there are no tasks assigned, press DELETE to delete the resource.
Method 2: Run a Macro to Remove Resources with No Tasks Assigned
