Good afternoon,
I hope someone out there can provide some advice on how I should handle a
project I am working on.
Here's a little background info:
I have 10 subprojects that have been inserted into a master project. 2 of
the 10 subprojects are maintained by me while the rest belong to different
field activities. The 2 subprojects that I control (I'll call them myProj1
and myProj2) each contain links to the other subprojects. For example,
myProj1 has links to Proj3 through Proj10 and myProj2 has links to Proj3
through Proj10.
Every month the field activities are supposed to provide me with updates to
their projects and somehow I am supposed to capture those updates in myProj1
and myProj2. I would like to avoid having to redo the external links every
month that updates are sent as it is far too time consuming.
Here is what we've done so far:
After the first initial creation of external links between myProj1 and his
Proj3 (and also myProj2 and his Proj3) I sent his Proj3 back to him. He used
this file to make the updates and then returned it to me. And this is where I
get stuck.
*How do I handle his updates? Will I have to go to the folder that contains
the old Proj3 and "replace" it with his newly updated Proj3? Will this pose
any problems? Will I have to physically delete the old Proj3? Do the Proj3
filenames always have to remain the same?
I hope I've explained myself right. Please let me know if more information
is needed. This is a process that I'll have to repeat every month and any
help is greatly appreciated.
