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.

Hi Satishan,

1. Try to use the Edit --> Replace
2. Open the two projects and go to Activity Codes then Copy & Paste the codes.
3. Copy the projects and in the "Copy Activity Option" untick the check box next to Relationships.

Regards,

Arnold

Hi Satisham

Q 1.
I do not use P6 but if I want to make a global change to anything in Powerproject I copy paste the column into excel and then use Find - Replace to make the changes then copy it back.

No idea at all about Q 2 & 3.

Best regards

Mike Testro
