Merging file : Problem with external links
in [Project]
|
From: yann on 5 May 2010 09:17 Hello, When I try to merge different project file (by Insert-->Project), I still see the external link between project (in gray color). My purpose is to have a single file for which all the tasks are linked inside the same document and not on the old file. How can i do? Thanks
From: Rob Schneider on 5 May 2010 09:37 Menu: Insert/Project and on the bottom of the dialog box, uncheck "link to project". This will put a *copy* of the project into the new file. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 05/05/10 14:17, yann wrote: > Hello, > > When I try to merge different project file (by Insert-->Project), I still > see the external link between project (in gray color). > My purpose is to have a single file for which all the tasks are linked > inside the same document and not on the old file. > How can i do? > Thanks

The only way to convert a dynamically linked master file to a static master file and convert all external predecessors/successors to normal predecessors/successors is with VBA. I have a macro that does exactly that, but it is not freeware. If you are interested you may contact me at the address below.

John, Does your macro able to merge up to 10 different files?
