In this lesson we will cover some basic knowledge regarding upgrading from a project in Microsoft® Project 98 to a project in Microsoft Project 2000. In particular we will discuss upgrading the global template, scheduling in Microsoft Project 2000 (pointing out differences with Microsoft Project 98) and using the Microsoft Project 98 file format with Microsoft Project 2000.
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
n Discuss the options for upgrading the global template
n List new features of Microsoft Project 2000 that can affect scheduling
n Compare and contrast scheduling in Microsoft Project 2000 to that in Microsoft Project 98
n Discuss how Microsoft Project 98 and Microsoft Project 2000 react when opening files in the other format
n Describe potential data loss when saving to the Microsoft Project 98 file format from within Microsoft Project 2000
The global template (GLOBAL.MPT) is the file upon which all new projects are based. Upgrading your global template is also one of the first choices you are presented with when moving from a Microsoft Project 98 to a Microsoft Project 2000 environment. As such, it is very important to understand the behavior of Microsoft Project 2000 and possible changes in the global template that can occur when running Microsoft Project 2000 for the first time.
The first time you run Microsoft Project 2000, you will receive a planning wizard that gives you the following three choices:
n Upgrade Automatically - This moves all user-edited items from the old global to the new. These items are then available within the new global template and you are not prompted to upgrade your global template on subsequent launches of Microsoft Project 2000.
n Upgrade manually - This launches the organizer and allows you to manually move items to the new global template. Doing so makes the moved items available in Microsoft Project 2000. You are not prompted to upgrade your global template on subsequent launches of Microsoft Project 2000.
n Cancel - This cancels the upgrade of the global template. The user receives a prompt to upgrade the global the next time Microsoft Project 2000 is booted and will continue to do so until either the global template is upgraded or the option “Don’t tell me about this again” has been checked.
The options presented by the Planning Wizard are fairly straightforward. However, there are a few things we should understand about what is going on behind the scenes. During setup, the Microsoft Project 98 GLOBAL.MPT is copied and renamed to GLOBAL80.MPT. (“80” is appended to the file name as it denotes the version of Microsoft Project from which the global was taken. Microsoft Project 98 was version 8.0.)
