Question:
We keep our Microsoft Project files on Microsoft SharePoint, however we are not using Project Server. I am having issues refreshing from a refresh list. What is the best procedure?

Answer:
Sharepoint servers have a URL similar to this: https://mycompany.sharepoint.com
Map a local drive to the SharePoint site:
- Open Windows File Explorer.
- Right-click This PC or My Computer
- Choose Map Network Drive.
- In the Folder field, paste the URL of your SharePoint document library. Ensure you are using the full URL, including the site and library name, for example:
https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/YourSite/Shared%20Documents.
- Select a drive letter for the mapped location.
- Click Finish.
Refresh from a single schedule kept on SharePoint:
- In Milestones, open the schedule to be refreshed and choose Connections | Refresh Previously Imported Project | Refresh from MPP file.
- Using the mapped drive (above), locate the file and refresh the schedule (which is not tagged with nicknames.)
Refresh from a list of schedules kept on SharePoint:
- Open the Milestones Professional schedule to be refreshed.
- Build the refresh list (see below.)
- Choose Connections | Refresh Previously Imported Project | Refresh from MPP file.
Add an MPP file on SharePoint to a refresh list
- In Milestones, open the schedule to be refreshed and choose Connections | Refresh Previously Imported Project | Create/Edit Refresh List...
- For each Microsoft Project schedule, pick Add Schedule (not Add Project Server Schedule.) If the schedule already has nicknames, be sure to use the same nicknames for each schedule.
- Click OK - Save Above Changes.
