Copying settings (ie custom views etc)

Is there a way i can copy custom views between two unconnected machines?

I am aware the settings i have saved have probably gone to my profile, but was wondering if there was a way to easily copy them onto a different machine without redoing them all.. copying the program file would not copy my profile, would it?

RE: Copying settings (ie custom views etc)

Hi Hannah,

Thank you for the question.

I suggest you create a blank project and copy all the views, tables, etc. that you want to transfer from the Global.MPT template to the blank project.

Save the blank project to a memory stick and copy it onto the new machine. Then all you need do is open the organiser and copy the new stuff to Global.MPT

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
