Automated Option Setting

[JohnG@DIB]

We do not use the Enterprise version of MSP. We have MSP 2003 installed on
each developer's hard drive. As we prepare to make MSP our standard project
administration tool, we would like everyone to be using the same options and
point to the same templates we have created. Is there a way to automate
these option and path updates in each person's settings using a VBA, script
or .BAT executable to preclude writing detailed instructions to walk each
person through individual option updates or (worse yet) forcing me to do it
for all fifty folks that will be affected?!?

John,
Unless you have some special requirements VBA shouldn't be necessary as
many of the options are Global settings so it is just a matter of
storing a common Global file where everybody can access it if necessary
for updates. The same is true for templates, store them in a common area.

Hope this helps.
