Hi,
There is one copy of a Template.mpt file in the shared drive. Users copy this file to their project folder for a specific project and they save it as Project_n.mpp. There is only one Project_n.mpp file per project. So whoever works on the particular project
will always open the same Project_n.mpp file. There is a lot of projects that users work on and each of them has its respective Project1.mpp, Project2.mpp, Pproject3.mpp etc.file.
These files contain modules that are called on the Project Open and some of them on the Project Close. Current code in modules is used to update the project file with data from a database and also to update database with the data from
the project file.
I am looking now into the solution on how to incorporate any future modifications of the modules so that it can be applied to all project files.
If I modify code in any of the modules of the Template.mpt file that is on the Shared drive I am now sure that modifications will apply only to the new projects (when user initiate the Project_n.mpp and starts from the Template.mpt). But in the case of already created project files (Project1.mpp, Project2.mpp, Project3.mpp) I also want to apply the modified code in modules, but currently when I open them I have the old code.
I tried using Global.mpt file but ran into some issues such as if I move all modules to the global.mpt the functions called from ThisProject/Project Open are ending having errors since they are not defined. Is there any way of specifying
in the project that modules are defined in the Global.mpt.
I also tried to Move modules from Template.mpt file to the Project_n.mpp file on the opening. Before moving modules I deleted them to avoid having to answer to the question "Do you want to replace the file?", but then some modules wouldn't get deleted
right away because functions that are called in the Project.mpp open event are defined in the modules I want to delete. They get deleted at the end of the code execute and that causes issues when code runs again.
I would appreciate any help, suggestion on how to solve this issue. I am open to any proposition in regards how to share modifications among all users and previous and future projects.
Thanks in advance.
