PRJ98: Resources Not Removed When You Stop Resource Sharing (185297)

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Delete the Resources Manually

1. On the View menu, click Resource Sheet.
2. On the Window menu, click Split.
3. 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

Use the following macro to delete any resource that is not assigned to a task:

   Sub NoAssignments()
   Dim R As Object
   For Each R In ActiveProject.Resources
       If Not R Is Nothing Then
           If R.Assignments.Count = 0 Then
               R.Delete
           End If
       End If
   Next R
   End Sub
