Background Information
If you navigate to the Project Center page in Project
Web Access, select a group of projects, and then click the Open button, the
system launches Microsoft Project Professional and creates a master project from
the selected projects. If you want to work with a master project, this is nice.

the following method to save and open a group of projects using a Workspace
file.

Project Professional and log into Project Server.
2. Close the blank
project that opens automatically in Microsoft Project.
3. Open each project
individually until you have opened all of your desired projects.
4. Click File - Save
Workspace.
5. Name the workspace
file and save it in a convenient location, such as your My Documents folder.
6. If prompted, click the Yes button when prompted to save
each of the projects in the workspace.
7. Close each of the
projects.
To open the group of projects at once, do the
following:

individual files saved in the workspace file.
