It sounds like you are a Project Online administrator since you were able to add the calendar as an enterprise calendar. Regarding the resources in this project, as the administrator, did you actually check out these resources for editing from the Resource Center page in PWA and then specify their Base Calendar value there? If you only changed this in the project itself, the resources will always revert back to their settings in the Enterprise Resource Pool. Please let us know and we will try to help you.

Hi Dale

Thanks for the swift reply
I didnt check out the resources, only changed it in the resource step of the upload wizard.

If I change it in the online resource it will change all other projects they are assigned to wont it? As this is a one off is there a way to upload but to only use the project calendar rather than the resource calendar?

Thanks for your help

  OK, I located the source of your problem. No, there is not a "one off" method to resolve your calendar problem. Sorry, but hope this helps.

    Hi Dale_HowardMVP
    OK thank you.
    Is there a way round this then? Id actually prefer the system to always take the project / work hours calendar over the resources calendar when we upload. So happy to change a setting to make this happen as a permanent thing if its possible
    Thanks
