Hi Kevin

The quickest way to do this is to create a new blank project and from the insert menu you can choose the files that get inserted into the plan.

If you are working with resources however you will need to create a Resource pool first which is a central pool containing the resources to be shared across multiple projects. This must be open in Project

In the project files that will connect to the pool go to tools > resource sharing > share resources and from the dialog box choose to use resources from the resource pool and click on OK.

Now you will be able assign resources from the central pool. When next open the resource pool you will be offered three options. The last option opens the resource pool in read / write mode and also creates a merged file with all the sharer files already inserted.

I hope this is helpful - if you have any questions please do let me know.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
