Thanks Nigel, unfortunately most of our clients (e.g Network Rail) will want and expect to recalculate forecast activity costs based on staff resource rates. Hence the need to include markup in the rate.

Done the same as David. As he says it works. Another way I have used to a base rate plus an expenxes addition. Depends upon how you need to show the costs. In that example I need to show an overall cost only including expenses. Not as elegant.

Thanks David, Ive used a similar work around myself using a global change to modify the resource ID to the one with the rate I need. Im hoping that Im missing something e.g that under admin you can increase the number of rate types.
Hard. The only work around I have used is to start the hierarchical resource dictionery with the rate. E.G. the resource code is 45-Engineer, 48-Engineer. Not elegent. It works.
