Merging file : Problem with external links

[yann]

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

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.

Sorry Rob but I already did it and i still have on the new file an external
link to the "old file", very strange ...

yann,
Converting a dynamic master to a static master will NOT convert external
predecessors/successors. 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?

 

[Rob Schneider]

Specifically, what do you mean "link"?

A task or tasks are "linked" by being external predecessors or
successors? Or is it still a subproject in a master project. I use the
terms "subproject" and "master project" specifically as that means
something specific in Project.

John,

yann,
Yes. Project itself has a limit of 1000 subprojects in a master. The
macro is however currently limited to 5 levels of subproject indenture
(i.e. subproject inserted into a subproject inserted into a subproject,
etc.).

Sory to confuse you as i am not a specialist of Ms Project.
In fact I have different project and the same levels. On each project, their
are tasks that are linked between one project to another one (no concept of
subproject and master project in this case).
My only purpose is to have a unique file (not a master project cause it will
have links to the subproject). All external links will be updated as internal
links within the current and unique project.
John suggests me to use VBA, I think it is the best solution.

 

[Rob Schneider]

Thanks. I assumed you asked a different question and gave you,
therefore, a misleading answer.
