Dale,

Excuse the duplicate message I left. They system hiccupped and said my
reply would have to be resubmitted (apparently not).

Anyway, I attended a 2003 PM Training Class given by Quantum PM. In the
training material two of the special characteristics of admin projects that
were listed are:

1) limit of 50 resources per task
2) can assign only 500 resources per project (ie: 50 resources per each task
with a limit of 10 tasks to a project schedule)

When I questioned the instructor she did not have any further information
and suggested I contact one of her associates. I'm waiting to here back.
I've found no other documentation regarding limitations anywhere.
