PS 2003 with SharePoint Services

I am trying to find a way to move or copy an Issues List from one project to
another. Would someone help point me in the correct direction?

Thanks,

You need to do this manually by creating two identical datasheet views that
you can do a copy and paste from one project workspace list to another. You
should only include the fields that can be copied over and be prepared to
deal with some data validation issues. For example if a value is not valid
in your destination list, you will get an error on the paste. This could be
a dropdown list value or a user field like "Assigned To" or "Owner" that was
a valid user in the old site but not in the new site.

Also be aware that you will lose any historical records of your issues as
well as the correct modifier and creator fields which will be set to the
person doing the copy and paste.

Hi Greg,

Jonathan is spot on, but :) I have seen an add on tool to move one
SharePoint list to another. Now dont get to ecxited :) I have not tested this
with WSS 2.0 only with WSS 3.0 ( which is required for Project Server 07 ),
but generally I could imagine that this tool does it for 2.0 too, you will
need to double check with the guy who developed it, but should this be the
case, than you will be able to very easily move list information from one to
another site.

check this out:

hope this helps and let us know if you can use it on wss .20
thanks
