Migration of single linked files

[Eichelmännchen]

Hello NG.

Is it possible to migrate single project files created with MSP Professional
02 to MSP Server 2003? The files are linked to each other and stored on a
local department share.
I know there is the "Insert/Project" function, but won't the links get lost
when using this?

I'm looking for a solution to migrate all linked files without doing the
links all over again. Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Sylvia

I believe the cross-project links will become invalid if you import these
projects into Project Server 2003 with the links included. I believe your
best approch would be to open all of the linked projects, write down all of
the cross-project links and link types, then break the links and save the
projects. Import the projects individually into the Project Server
database, then open them all and recreate the links.

I know it's going to be a lot of work, especially if you have a lot of
cross-project dependencies. If anyone else has ideas about a better (or
easier) way to handle this, I will gladly invite them to post a response to
your question as well. Hope this helps.
