Import Project with Same Name as Existing Project Merges Tasks (146282)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows 95

This article was previously published under Q146282

SYMPTOMS

When you import data into Schedule+ version 7.0, the tasks associated with a project that currently exists in the schedule will be merged with those associated with the project. If the imported task has the same name as an existing task, the information in the task being imported will overwrite the existing task information.

CAUSE

This is by design.

The ObjectID's for the individual objects are not exported to the .SCH file during the export process. This eliminates duplication of ObjectID conflicts between the two user's appointment books. The New ObjectID's for the Projects or Tasks will be assigned when the user's appointment book is imported.

In the case where a duplicate Project or Tasks name is found in the destination appointment book, the imported Project or Tasks will assume the ObjectID of the existing Project; therefore, it adds the Same_Name_Project/Tasks from the exported file as part of the existing Project in the appointment book.
