Hi Henry, thanks for the reply! And good point with project GUID. This explains why when I am clicking on a "refernce to another project link", I am not logged in to this "another project".
I was talking to RedDot support, and they suggested using bridge pages if I want to link a page from one project to another. Howerver it still doesn't resolve the problem of updating project B when page in project A was changed.... We either going to writ some very advanced RQL to mainatin the cross projct references, or simply will put everything in one project.
