Merging file : Problem with external links
in [Project]
|
From: Rob Schneider on 5 May 2010 16:13 Specifically, what do you mean "link"? A task or tasks are "linked" by being external predecessors or successors? Or is it still a subproject in a master project. I use the terms "subproject" and "master project" specifically as that means something specific in Project. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 05/05/10 15:27, yann wrote: > Sorry Rob but I already did it and i still have on the new file an external > link to the "old file", very strange ... > > "Rob Schneider" wrote: > >> Menu: Insert/Project and on the bottom of the dialog box, uncheck "link >> to project".

Project itself has a limit of 1000 subprojects in a master. The macro is however currently limited to 5 levels of subproject indenture (i.e. subproject inserted into a subproject inserted into a subproject, etc.).

From: yann on 6 May 2010 03:51 Sory to confuse you as i am not a specialist of Ms Project. In fact I have different project and the same levels. On each project, their are tasks that are linked between one project to another one (no concept of subproject and master project in this case). My only purpose is to have a unique file (not a master project cause it will have links to the subproject). All external links will be updated as internal links within the current and unique project. John suggests me to use VBA, I think it is the best solution.

Thanks. I assumed you asked a different question and gave you, therefore, a misleading answer. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 06/05/10 08:51, yann wrote: > Sory to confuse you as i am not a specialist of Ms Project. > In fact I have different project and the same levels.
