Project 2000. Moving From Microsoft Project, страница 3

Filters a filter with the same name will replace the existing filter in the Microsoft Project 2000 global template. Filters that reference the Priority field will be rewritten to take the increased priority levels into account.

Forms a form with the same name will replace the existing form in the Microsoft Project 2000 global template.

Reports a report with the same name will replace the existing report in the Microsoft Project 2000 global template.

Calendars a calendar with the same name will replace the existing calendar in the Microsoft Project 2000 global template.

Maps a map with the same name will replace the existing map in the Microsoft Project 2000 global template.

Macros – any user-defined modules will be moved to the new Microsoft Project 2000 global template. New macros added to Microsoft Project-supplied modules will also be moved over. However, individual macros stored in Microsoft Project-supplied modules that have the same name as macros that ship with Microsoft Project 2000 will not be moved over. Thus if you have customized Microsoft Project-supplied macros, these will not be moved to the new global template.

Note

If the previous version of the global template is from a foreign language version of Microsoft Project 98, the automatic upgrade will not work. Instead an alert will be displayed indicating that the global template was created in a language version of Microsoft Project different from that being installed. It will then launch the organizer so that items may manually be moved to the Microsoft Project 2000 global template.


Special Considerations

There are some situations where upgrading the global template may behave differently than you expect. These are detailed below:

Network Installs – If you do a local install of Microsoft Project 2000 over a network install of Microsoft Project 98, the global template from the Microsoft Project 98 installation will exist on the server. To upgrade the global template, it is copied from the server to the local machine and the upgrade proceeds as outlined above.

If you do a network install of Microsoft Project 2000, no upgrade of the global template will occur, regardless of type of Microsoft Project 98 installation. You must open the templates in the organizer and manually move any desired items.

Multiple Users on the Same Machine – If multiple users on the same machine make customizations to the global template, these changes are stored in a global template kept in a user’s profile. Thus multiple global templates may exist on the same machine.

Unlike previous versions of Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project 2000 looks first in the user profile for a global template and then in the folder that contains the file Winproj.exe.

Also the Upgrade Planning Wizard will appear to each user of Microsoft Project 2000, regardless of what another user has done. (that is, Even if one user has upgraded his global template, another user will see the Upgrade Planning Wizard until he upgrades his template or checks the “Do not tell me about this again” option.

System Policies – System Administrators can use system policies to set two keys that affect the global template. The first points to the location of the global template and is found at the following location:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\9.0\MS Project\Global Search\RootKey

The other key defines whether the search for the global template is restricted to one-and-only-one GLOBAL.MPT. It is found at the following location:
