    Transfer a task..........

    Hello, 

    Is there any way to copy/paste or transfer/move a task from one existing project to another existing project??? I want to transfer everything -- including update notes & time tracked??? Is this possible???

    Thank You.

    It is not possible to capture the history of task update data and copy it to another project.  You would need to do it manually - accepting the fact that the entry date would be different (if that mattered).

    By manual I mean making a template of the project and then updating that template as if you were the user(s) updating the tasks by creating an entry for each task work entry from the original project.

     Could be easy if there are few users, few updates and few tasks.  Could be daunting if you have a lot of those things.   What's the purpose of copying the data over?  Are you looking for all task/task data to be copied or just portions?  Was the time entered in the wrong project or something?  Maybe there's another way around copying.

    We don't mind upload as an alternative to copy but would appreciate if upload accepts csv or excel (any easily available app) file as an input. Seems we need to buy Access or Project for all the staff (though we thought that DaptiV will reduce MS Project license cost) :-(

    I'll second this one!  We have lots of folks on Macs who can't even use Project.  A CSV import and a supporting data map to export from Project would be great!

    I am using MS Project 2007 which no longer has the capabilities to export (or Save As) a .mpd or .mdb file. Apparently I no longer have any way to save a file for import into Daptiv. Any suggestions?
