Unlink project does not work

[Jimbo2112]

Hi All,

When I try and unlink a project from a `master project file` that holds many links to other projects it does not work. The method is:

Right click on project, select task information, click on advanced tab and untick the `Link to Project` box

When I close the dialogue and re-open it the box is still ticked. I came a cropper the other day when I assumed that the project would be unlinked after doing the above sequence and I deleted it from the `master project document` which holds all the links to the sub projects. This meant that the sub project got deleted! Thankfully I got it back from support from the previous days backup.

Anyone else suffer this? Is there a work around or is it a bug. Maybe even, I may be doing it wrong? Forbid the thought!

Cheers

Jimbo

Something else to add is that even if you do delete the entire linked job in the master project that conatins all the linked projects, you are still left with the record that links to a non existent project.

If there is some functionality to overcome this, it's not as intuitive as the other parts of MSP!

Cheers
