Moving a master and sub project from one network location to anoth

[AnthemAZ]

I have created a master with four subprojects in a folder on the network.

However, I would like to move them to another folder. What's the best way to
do this and still retain the links between project?

Using MSP 03 SP3.

AnthemAz,
It's been years since I did this but you should be able to select all 5
files and drag and drop them to the new folder. The links will stay
intact. Doing them as a group should minimize any chance of duplicating
links which could cause corruption.

Good luck.

John's directions are correct. However, one thing you want to do prior to
opening any of the files (especially the Master) is to temporarily rename the
original directory. The copied master schedule will attempt to open the
original sub-projects using the link information. By renaming the directory
first Project will attempt finding the original files then not finding them
ask you where to find the sub-projects. At that point you direct it to the
1st sub-project location; Project will then open all files from the new
directory. After you save the Master go back and rename the original
directory to it's original name.
