Apply Template to multiple files

[ARBrock]

Hi,

I have a template that contains customized formatting, calendars, tables,
and views. Is there any way that I can run a macro that will go through and
apply the template to ever project I have in a file?

AR,
It's not so much applying a template as it is transferring customized
elements (i.e. view, tables, filters, etc.) from the template file to
the other files. Some customized formatting may not be transferable. For
example, if you have custom font characteristics in your template, you
probably won't be able to transfer those to your other files using VBA
unless the criteria for setting those font characteristics is
specifically defined.

I would say your best bet is to use the OrganizerMoveItem Method.

Hope this helps.

I think that sums it up John, I've never tried it but I'd be interested to
hear how successful it is.....it's tempting to code it up just to see how
loud the <BOOM> is.

I'd surely have mass backups before I tried this out though.

Lee,
I don't know why you think there would be a big "Boom". Moving items in
the Organizer using VBA is pretty straightforward.
