Pusing global.mpt changes out to projects

J

Is there any way to automatically push changes made to the global.mpt out to
projects or has anyone developed something they would be willing to share
that would do this?

Thanks,

Jim,
Probably the best way to "push" changes to the Global out to
workstations is either by using Project Server or at least having the
Global file reside on a LAN server that all workstations access. Next in
line is to distribute custom settings (i.e. views, filters, reports,
etc.) periodically in a blank file and then have users upload changes
with the Organizer. The latter process could be automated with a VBA
macro triggered by the Open Event although it was years ago when I did
that at my company.

Hi,

I have a customer for whom I developped something similar.
As John states, you need a procedure in the Open event of the Global (or -
undocumented but it works perfectly! ) a procedure called Auto_Open in any
module in the Global, and use OrganizerMoveItem.

Jan,
Actually the Auto_Open was documented but you probably won't find it
unless you look back to Project 98. It has since been replaced by the
Open Event. It was actually the Auto_Open that I was referring to in my
post (as I said, it was several years ago).

Hi,

Fortunately, the Auto_Open still works in 2003 because you can copy that one
and AFAIK you can't copy or introduce by a program the Event Code.
Greetings,
