Hi all! I have merged 11 projects using Tools-->Project Utilities-->Merge successfully. What I want to do now is to unmerge each project and provide a mother project where I can made each project a sub-project. Can someone teach me how to do this? Thank you very much!

    Dear Ernani,

    I am going to write what i will do. Please feel free to use another methods:

    -Create a new project, transfer all data about calendar, activity codes, project codes & resource codes(All dictionary) from existing file.
    -I assume that you will have at least one activity code that you can seperate this subprojects.
    -Use export and import to create subprojects.
    -Tools-Project Utilities-Export from your main schedule.
    -Add an export name as activity information
    -Select all current and from format tab select the name and file type (I use .dbf because it is user friendly w/excel)
    -Add an export name as relations
    -Select successor relationships and from format tab select the name and file type (I use .dbf because it is user friendly w/excel)
    -You will have 2 dbf files that includes all info about your schedule
    -COPY the activity information .dbf as the number of subprojects you will use.
    -For each subprojects delete the other projects activity information in .dbf by filtering the approtiate activity codes.
    -Start producing Subprojects in your master schedule.
    -For each of subproject import (Tools-Project Utilities-Import) associated .dbf files (one for activity info one for relations)
    -After completing all subprojects you can transfer all reports layouts from your main schedule.
    -You can seperate the project into subproject within hours but at last you will need to check every activity and relations one by one in order to avoid any miss.

    ****You must not use Data-Activity Codes-Activity ID(TAB)-Subproject, as a identicator of subproject in you activity id. You can add other activity codes in the process by creating in new project and copy to .dbf

    Sorry for language fast-writing and no time to relook.

    Regards,

    Safak
