Link to global.mpt

[Chris]

Hello,

how can I modify my settings to link to a global.mpt file different from the
default location?
The idea would be to put a customized global.mpt file on a network, so that
I can access it from different computers.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you create a shortcut to Project on your desktop you can enter a folder
location on your network that has the Global.Mpt file you wish to share in
the Start-in field of the Shortcut properties. Project looks there first for
the Global.Mpt. As a Consultant I regularly need to work with numerous
client Global.mpt files. I have one shortcut per client with a Global.mpt in
each client's folder.

Thanks!

I am glad there's a way to do it, just wondering how you found it out...

I usually spend at least 2 hours a week researching different topics. I
would have learnt it from one of those sessions, or the project conference
or thru this group!
