    when I tried your suggestion a message came up saying:

    “One or more of these projects are not available for exclusive access”

    I was trying to open the one particular project that has been returning the message that we are trying to remove.

    I have a number of other large projects that do not return the original annoying message

    Would you have any views on this?

    I have since solved the problem.
    I copied the project to another section of the EPS then scheduled it with no problem.
    I then cut and pasted the project back into the original section of the EPS and it now no longer comes
    up with the annoying message.
