OrganizerMoveItem for custom fields

[krcullen]

I've been unable to move custom fields to the global template via
OrganizerMoveItem. I can move filters, toolbars, modules, etc., but not
custom fields.

Here is a code example (of course on one line):
OrganizerMoveItem Type:=9, FileName:="Modules_v39 test.mpp",
ToFileName:="Global.mpt", Name:="Number8"

I read a lengthy thread from 2005 that indicated a similar issue. Does this
issue still exist? Any examples of updated workarounds?

Thanks,

Kristen

Hi,

Firstly, if you go to the Organizer, you'll notice that only custom fields
that have been named are available to be moved. So I named Number8 as Test
then recorded a macro. I got:

OrganizerMoveItem Type:=9, FileName:="Delete me.mpp",
ToFileName:="Global.MPT", Name:="Test (Number8)"

I removed the manually moved field from the Global file, ran the code and it
worked.

I would also replace Type:=9 with Type:=pjFields as it's easier to maintain.
