When adding multiple resources to a given task I need them to be ‘mapped’ somehow to each other so that the certain task cannot start or finish unless all of the assigned resources are available at a given time. For instance: I have an operator, a machine, and a tool as resources that are assigned to a task. However, the operator must have the machine and also the tool available in order to even operate…..and vice versa…..the machine cannot perform work without the tool or the operator…they all must run at the same exact time! I also need to do this between multiple ‘sub-projects’ that are all linked to using the same resource pool and I use the leveling option to schedule them among each other.

I know in Access you can ‘map’ dependencies…so one this cannot happen unless another is in place….not sure if Project does it this way…

I am struggling sooooo bad to figure out how to accomplish this…please help!!!!
