Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

No, not the 70’s Glam Rock quartet, but the new project Wizard on PP !

When I try to start a new project with the wizard, or indeed in any way, I select the template fill in the boxes for File location, Name, for, Start, By, User name etc, and click OK, but nothing happens.

I am forced to open existing project and alter them to create a new project.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

This is almost always down to restricted access to the \Project \Template folders in the install folder.
Change these to Full Control and you should be OK.

The one advantag eof the Template route (rather than Mike’s Copy/Paste) is that it sets "Week 1" on the Date Zone in all Views of the project.
Just saves you a little hassle at set-up time.

Hi Ken

I create a standard bar chart for a particular type of project with set up calendars - resources - work patterns etc.

When a new programme is required I just copy the chart and save as required.

Then adjust for the new start dates etc and start adding tasks.

I never use the wizards but set up a bespoke base evry time.

Best regards
