Avoiding save changes dialog box

[Scott Sanders USA]

Hi,
I have a Portfolio project that I'm opening and saving a copy to a
fileserver. When i do a FileSaveAs i get message boxes for the sub-projects
asking if I want to save them.
I know on FileClose you can specify PjSaveType.pjDoNotSave. Can you do the
same type of thing for FileSaveAs?
Thanks.

Scott,
Add the following line to your code:
DisplayAlerts = False

Hope this helps.

When i put that line in, project is unable to find the enterprise project
files. It seems like that line breaks my connection to project server. I
need to reset my project server account to point to the server. Strange
behavior. Any ideas why??
Thanks!

Scott,
Sorry, I don't do Server. If I had to guess, and that's all it would be,
is that the placement of the DisplayAlerts code in your macro is
critical. Try putting it right before the FileSaveAs and then setting it
back to true after the save is completed.

Firstly don't save master projects in Project Server, grief and duplicate
data awaits those who do!

Second, don't ever mess with master files. Only save as if all sub-projects
are also open and you save ALLLLLLL the sub-projects as well. Failure to do
so will lead to corruption of one or more projects sooner or later. Any file
can only be linked to one master file at a time. Copies of master files
cause chaos and often corruption.

Thanks for that info Rod. How about if I break the links to the subprojects,
then save the master project (as static) to a file server. Hopefully this
way, there will be no contention, or ability to mess with the project server
data. does that sound safe to you??
Thanks again.

Absolutely. In fact I always create master files with the link option off so
I only copy data (and consolidate resource info automatically) and create a
weekly snapshot.
