Yes, it may sound stupid, but I can't find the physical file. I'm supposed to copy it somewhere (per a vendor I'm working with to fix something), but I don't know "where" it is.

Yours may be in your "Office" tree...

At the time you install Microsoft Project, the initial Global.mpt file is
stored in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033
When you run Microsoft Project for the first time, your production
Global.mpt file is created as a copy of from the original file. The
production copy of your Global.mpt file and is the one you access using
Tools - Organizer. The production Global.mpt file is found in the following
folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\User ID\Application Data\Microsoft\MS
Project\11\1033
Hope this helps.

It will depend on the Operating System you're using.
RightMouseButton on the Start button and click on "Search ...".
In the File name box enter "global.mpt" (no quotes)
In the Look in box select "Local hard drives"
Note, this all assumes that you are using MS Project Pro or Standard. It's
a different kettle of fish if you are using Project Enterprise and you want
to get information about the Enterprise Global.mpt.

Global.mpt and Server
Hello
You seem to know what's up w/ this. A question. If I create a project on my local, upload it to server, which has a different set of global settings, and then bring that plan back to my local, which global.mpt is in control?
We are migrating to Server and I have an existing set of plans based on my global.mpt. The Enterprise global settings have some minor changes to mine. But our settings serve our purposes better, at least for now. WIll my plan be switching back & forth to the two globals, depending on whether they I am working while connected or working locally? What are the caveats in this case, other than the obvious ones?

When you launch Microsoft Project Professional and log into Project Server,
Microsoft Project does the following:
1. Opens your Global.mpt file (stored on your hard drive) in the background
2. Opens your organization's Enterprise Global file (stored on the server)
in the background
3. Merges the two files into a single global file in the background called
the "Global (+ cached Enterprise)" file
When the two global files are merged into a single file, if there are any
objects (Views, Tables, Filters, Groups, etc.) in both globals with
identical names, then the object in the Enterprise Global overwrites the
object in the Global.mpt file. For example, if you create a View called
Enterprise Gantt Chart in your Global.mpt file and then later log into
Project Server, because there is an enterprise view called Enterprise Gantt
Chart, the system will replace your local view with the enterprise view
during that current session only.
If you launch Microsoft Project Professional and log on using the My
Computer login option, then the system only loads your local Global.mpt file
into the background. Hope this helps.
