Moving resource pool & projects into other directory w/o problems?

[CCheng]

I am using Microsoft Project Standard 2003. I currently store all of my
Project files in one directory, including projects and the common resource
pool. For various reasons, I want to move the files into another directory.
How can I do that and still maintain the file links between the resource pool
and the project files since they seem all linked by file names and paths?

CCheng,
Ideally the links will follow the files and update to the new path
automatically. That was not the case with older type links (such as
those still used for Paste Links). I would go ahead and move the files
and check to see that everything still works OK, but . . . be sure to
exercise safe computing and make a backup first.

Keeping everything in the same directory is good practice even with OLE
type links. Once you have your files re-located, I recommend you
maintain the practice of a stable path environment.
