Project's Global file

[zip]

I have created an autorun macro that upon opening my Project file another
macro is triggered which goes into the organiser and copies the Formatting
toolbar (containing customised buttons) from the global file to the current
project file.

When I open my Project file on another network computer, a dialog box
appears stating that the Formatting toolbar already exists, and would the
user like to replace it with the Formatting toolbar in the Global file. Upon
clicking 'yes', nothing changes and the customised Formatting toolbar buttons
that I have created are nowhere to be seen....any thoughts?

Thank you very much,

Try the property DisplayAlerts :
DisplayAlerts = False
Hope this helps

zip,
First, be advised that custom toolbars must reside in the Global, not in
the individual project file to be effective. Second, when you use the
Organizer to update something it is wise to first find out if that item
already exists. One way to check is to loop through the list property
for that item. If it does exist, it should first be deleted and then you
can add the new item.

Unfortunately, I don't have Project open at the moment so I can't tell
you if are other variations to this process (i.e. over write the
exiting, etc.).
