Exporting/Importing Customization with sheet in 8.03

Yahoo Archive

After a little more playing with this I found a work-around. A guid
is used to define the relationship between parent tab and child tab.
The parent relationship guid on the Project Tracker customization xml
export refers to the parent tab on Project Tracker rather than
Project Entry, so I did the following:

- Create a dummy child tab on the Project Entry form, Project tab
- Export the Project Entry customization
- Open the Project Entry customization xml file
- Copy the guid of the dummy tab parent property and close the file
- Open the Project Tracker customization xml file for edit
- Paste the guid in the child tab's ParentControlKey property
- Paste the guid in the child tab's ParentName-PropertyValue property
- Save and close the Project Tracker customization xml file
- Import the saved Project Tracker customization into Project Entry

After doing this, the custom tab created in Project Tracker is now
also in Project Entry.

Hello,

I created a customization of Project Tracker consisting of controls on
an existing tab/sheet as well as a new tab/sheet with controls. I
exported the customization from Project Tracker and imported it to
Project Entry. Note that I'm importing to a different form.

The controls I added to the existing tab/sheet imported correctly, but
the new tab/sheet didn't import at all. I checked the export xml file
and the new tab/sheet is represented there.

Any thoughts on why this occurred and how to make it work correctly? I
haven't tried importing to the same form because we currently only have
one 8.03 environment set up. I'm wondering if this would have the same
result.

Lastly, should I be referring to tabs as tabs or sheets or panels or
what? I'm confused.

Thanks
