We have a program of linked projects that use an enterprise resource pool 
(Project and Server 2003). In Project's Resource Usage view, hours for all 
project work (not only these linked projects but any project that the 
resource has been assigned to) is totalled by resource. The resource shows 
20,000 total hours but only has 50 hours of work on this particular plan. We 
are looking for a way to easily segregate these hours by project. We are 
currently accomplishing this by adding a Project column and then deleting any 
line item not associated with the project in question. This works to get us 
the number, but doesn't stick. Each time we open a project, the total hours 
once again reflects all projects the resource is attached to. Is there an 
easy way to accomplish this? This is our first attempt at linking projects. 
Thanks! (I had this posted in the Project forum & was advised to post here).

Try setting your connection state to manual in Project Pro under 
Tools>Enterprise Options>Microsoft Office Project Server Accounts...

Close project and re-open.  The next time you log in, you will be prompted 
for a server connection.  At the bottom of this screen you will see the 
option to uncheck "Load Summary Resource Assignments".  Uncheck this and it 
will remove the other projects lines from the resource usage views.
