Is there a limit of how many resources can be shared via a single Resource Pool in Project 2010 Professional standalone?

We have a single master project resource pool of over 150 resources that are shared across let's say 10-15 sub projects or sharer files.
We are using Microsoft Project Professional (standalone no project server)
Are you aware of any limitations outside of project server with resource pool and sharing, or should we be using Project server (as I have read a lot of articles about resource pool sharing working better in project server)
I'd like to get clarification on:
1. I read that the calendars for resources (of which there could be many shift patterns etc.) should always be created in the master project only, not in the sharer files. In my testing I see that a shared resource also brings the additional calendars from
the Master Project file - and can be chosen in the calendar column from Resource sheet.
2. Each sharer file can have it's own specific project calendar, but the resource calendar (used by the assigned resources from the pool) will drive the scheduling (as per normal), unless;
3. A specific task has a 'Task Calendar' applied to it AND "scheduling ignores resource calendars" is ticked.
I am trying to find an article that addresses, in detail, the limitations or 'look out fors' in this area.  I have found plenty about how to create and share resources, but this is more troubleshooting.
Any advice or direction that can be given would be appreciated. Thanks.

No limit to resources, but linked master and resource pools are at high risk of file corruption if you rename, over-write or move a linked file without removing it from the master and pool first. Files will corrupt, its when not if.
Master files should never have any resources or tasks in them, only inserted projects.
I much prefer creating master files with the Link option deselected. This copies all data and consolidates resource info (so no pool needed). I record a macro to create new masters each week. This method has no corruption risk.
Your alternative now is to experiment with Project Server. By far the best way to prototype a system is to get Project Online through Microsoft, ProjectHosts or Bemo. It will give you access to a vanilla project server very quickly and cost for a few months
testing is trivial for a few users.
If you go ahead with a full implementation I strongly recommend getting a qualified Project Server partner to help you implement the full system.

  • Is there a limit to how many photos can be stored on an iPad using version 5.1.1?

    I am having a devil of a time syncing my wife's original iPad with iTunes. I believe that there is a limit to how many photos can be stored on the iPad. It has 20GB of empty storage space, so it's not a space issue.
    Certain albums refuse to sync. I cannot figure out why those albums, in particular, will not sync. If I delete albums, they disappear from the iPad Photo application, so some synchronizing is happening.
    Help.

    First, thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
    Let me be a little more specific in describing my problems.
    I have about 8,000 images in iPhoto on an older iMac. All of the iPhoto functions appear to work correctly.
    I have created about 50 albums in iPhoto, and about 20 of these are of interest to my wife, so she'd like to copy them to her early iPad.
    ITunes shows the albums correctly when I select what I want to sync to her iPad. In other words, iTunes correctly represents what is in iPhoto. 1:1 correspondence in albums.
    However, when I sync approximately 25 albums with her iPad, 3-5 albums refuse to copy over to the iPad. The total number of images that is available on her iPad is 1680. My first thought was that there might be a limit to the number of images. There is plenty of memory available on the iPad (over half).
    Thank you so much for your time.
    Cheers,
    Chuck

  • Is there a limit to how many windows can be open on a screen?

    Bored at work again and playing around, is there a limit (real or theoretical) of the numbers of windows that can be open on a Mac at any given time?

    There is an infinite number that can be up at any given time. Just to test it, one fun thing I like to play around with is this:
    Open up a Finder window and hit Command-N, about 100 times. Then push F9 or F8 to see all the windows you opened!
    It's fun to see 10,293 Finder windows open at once. To close them, just hit Command-W the same number of times, or go to Force Quit and Relaunch Finder.
    Have fun!!!

  • When sending multiple MMS messages is there a limit to how many you can send in a group?  My iphone4 will not let me send more than 10.  My 3gs I was able to send over 20 MMS messages at one time.  when I try on this phone I get the red exclamation mark!!

    When sending text messags from my iphone4 it will only allow me to send to no more that 10 contacrs at a time.  On my 3GS I was able to sendto well over 20 contacts at once.  When I try to send on this iphone 4 all I get is the red exclamation mark and a message saying message not send and to try again.  Is there something wrong with the way I have my setting?  I use this feature alot so I am really trying to figure it out.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I understand that the limit is 10 people when sending MMS messages. However there is a much higher limit for SMS messages.
    If they would suit your needs, try disable the switch for "MMS messaging" on the Messages page of the Settings app.

  • Is there a limit to how many IP addresses can be allocated by an iPhone 4 for tethering?

    In order to activate 30x iPods, I had to try to tether them one by one to my iPhone 4. I would tether one, activate it, switch it off totally (my data provider only allows 1 or 2 tethers at the same time), then move on to the next one. Unfortunately, this only worked properly around 9 - 10 times. After this, although new devices would appear as tethered on the iPhone, they would not be allocated an IP address by the phone and so could not get Internet access (they reverted to APIPA addresses). I could not then tether anything else to the phone that hadn't already been joined. The only cure I found was to totally restore the iPhone.
    Is there a limit to how many IPs can be allocated by the iPhone 4?
    Are these allocations time-limited, so I can re-use addresses after a period of time without having to restore the phone?

    Are those photos or videos in your camera roll? or in shared albums or photostream?
    You can only import photos from camera roll.

  • Is there a limit to how many files bridge can view at one time?

    Our company works with high volumes of images and we would like to use Bridge to organize, search, and view these images prior to working on them in Adobe Photoshop/Premiere ETC..  Is there a limit to how many files that Bridge can handle at one time?  We have hundreds of thousands of videos and photos.

    Many have found that using more then 5000 files per folder can slow down performance but this depends on system resources (fast processor and much RAM). However Video is not always the strongest point of Bridge as it seems due to some other posts.
    And since you talk about a company, you have to be aware that Bridge is not designed nor official supported for use over a network. A dedicated DAM like Canto Cumulus or Portfolio Server might be more suitable for this tasks but they also come with a price I'm afraid.

  • Is there a limit on how many times I can install my CS5?

    I own CS5 and have it installed on 2 computers. I need to upgrade my computers and am wondering if I am going to have any trouble installing CS5 onto new machines. Is there a limit on how many times I can install the program? Do I have to verify ownership first or what?

    I believe the limit on how any times an application can be installed has been removed, but, as it stands, there is no limit to the number of installations you can have... just the number of activated installations.  For what it sounds like you are doing, there is should not be an issue of hitting a limit even if there is one.
    If you are reinstalling on new machines then you probably want to deactivate the current installations before you attempt to activate on the new machines.

  • Is there a limit to how many songs you can have on the offline mode?

    I am trying to get all my albums to sync with my phone and be available offline but It keeps on saying that I have selected too many tracks for the offline mode. Is there a limit to how many songs you can have?Thanks :)

    Spotify applies a limit of 3,333 tracks but everything is dependent on your phones on-board memory
    as Spotify actually copies the tracks to it so you don't need internet connection.
    My Galaxy S2 has 11 odd GB and I filled it with 1800 tracks (albeit some were 20 - 30 mins).
    Also check if you use on-board memory for photos etc. 'cos Spotify will use a lot of it.
    I have asked them to look at this and maybe give warnings about Spotify's memory usage rather
    than the number of tracks.
     

  • Is there a limit to how many AExp that can be streamed to at once?

    Hi Guys and Girls
    Have been looking at the Sonos system for a while now but I wonder if multiple AE would be a cheaper alternative?
    Is there a limit to how many Airport Express units can be streamed to at once? The house is quite large and I would like to have about 8 AExpress with powered speakers attached and play the same music to them all at once... I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is limited to 3 but it wasn't an Apple website and I can't find any official information regarding limits!
    Any help?

    Bob - thanks for advice.
    Back to revisiting this issue after trying to address some other things.
    I added as an html article but that didn't resolve the problem. In a browser the html renders left aligned. In DPS I am able to swipe to the previous article, but not the next. Not sure if DPS is interpreting that there is more content to the right (even though it is actually dead space beyond my 768px width target.
    From another discussion thread it seems to be a jQuery issue. Not sure if there is a jQuery function I can drop into Muse or exported files that will resolve this. I posted my question there as well, but it is an older thread.
    The other question/assumption I had was...I assume that when I add as HTML article all my interaction has to be handled in the HTML because it essentially bypasses InDesign an the ability to use DPS overlays.
