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.

two ways i can think of are to use export import or target update

export import

1. back up both schedules

2. open the old schedule and to go tools, project utilities, export

3. add a new specification

4. in the content tab include only activity ID and % complete (you might also want remaining duration)

5. in the format tab I usually use .DBF you can keep the file name C:\P3WIN\P3OUT\P3 if its just a 1 off.

6. leave selection blank for all activities or set up a filter for the activities you want and click RUN

7. open the new schedule

8. go to tools, project utilities, import

9. add a new specification

10. enter the path to your file (C:\P3WIN\P3OUT\P3.DBF)

11. cross your fingers and click RUN


or u could use Target update

1. back up both schedules

2. Open the old schedule

3. go to tools, project utilities, targets and set the new schedule as a target.

4. select the new schedule and click the update button. You may need to try this a couple of times with different options selected in the update target dialogue box
