Detailed question about comparison of 2 Microsoft Project files
Hi there, I'm very clear on how to perform a comparison of two Microsoft Project files which share an ancestry (e.g. you've created a project, some changes occur over a month, and then you compar...
I actually just realised that even though in the source files (file A and B) the Unique IDs are the same (number 1-400) when I displayed Unique ID in the comparison view it had the numbers going up to 800 so I'm not sure what to make of that...
I think I may have answered my own question for that last comment. I assume in the act of creating a comparison file (effectively a master project) it starts its Unique IDs from scratch thus leading to the ids going up to 800.
However I am still in the unique positions where if I take one of my files, slightly modify a date, and compare, the comparison report successfully shows it. Yet if I take my two 'seemingly identical' files generated from a macro, and slightly modify one, the comparison report thinks it is an entirely different Project and shows the whole file as being different. Help!
