problem nonworking time after copying task

[Johan Caljé]

We see an issue when we copy a task from one project to an other project.

We have made some small sample templates that users can copy to their own
msproject planning. IN those templates, some tasks are linked to non-working
calenders.

We select the complete row of the tasks and then choose copy from the edit
menu. Therafter we paste it in a new or already build projectfile.

The task with the originally linked non-working time calender is copied
without this link to the calender. The calender is defined in the enterprise
template and is autmatically shown in the destiantion project.

Is this a general issue? Is there a way to work around this issue?

Johan:

You should never cut and paste by row. The most you should copy is the task
name and duration. Otherwise you're copying all the data behind the task.

Hi Gary,

You are right about your tip.

In this case however we want all data, because the task data is empty (it's
from a template), and more important, we want also the task calender info
automatically copied.

Write a macro to do that.
