Josh,
The 'global' project/model association is only used for defining a default
association for packages/use cases that are not explicitly associated to a
Project. Once you have associated a Use Case to a requirement/document in a
RequisitePro Project, the parent package of that Use Case is given the same
project association ... and all other Use Cases within that package must use
the same project association. The only way to break that association is to
dissassociate all of the Use Cases within the package and then dissassociate
the package itself.
To find out what all of the current associations are, run the Rose Script
contained in Technote #17999 ...
http://www.rational.com/technotes/suites_html/WinSuites_Enterprise_html/tech
note_17999.html) on your model. If you are attempting to associate a Use
Case to a requirement/document and the 'old' project association keeps
coming up, look at the parent package association ... that's more than
likely where the old association lies.
For future reference, the best way to avoid getting into this situation is
to use Rose Path Maps when creating your project associations. This way,
the RequisitePro Project location can change and the only thing you'll need
to do with the Rose model is update where the PathMap is pointing. There is
another Rose Script (contained in a Technote available at
http://www.rational.com/technotes/rose_html/Rose_html/technote_12693.html)
which will update your existing associations to use PathMaps.

> Hi,
>
> I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if this is a common question.
>
> I have a Rose file in which my Use Cases are associated with
> a ReqPro database. The ReqPro file has changed locations and
> now I'd like to update the associations. Unfortunately, I
> can't seem to disassociate the use cases from the old file.

> Here are my steps:
>
> 1) Choose "Disassociate model from project" in the
> Tools|Requisite Pro menu
> 2) Choose "Associate model to project" in the Tools|Requisite Pro menu
> 3) Pick the new location of the req pro file
> 4) Click on "View association" for one of the Use Cases in
> the Rose model
>
> --> It still looks for the old ReqPro file!

> Now, yesterday I wasn't able to reassociate the use case with
