Storage place / exporting templates

[John Gerhardy]

Hello,

I am using Flexpro 9 on Windows 7 64-Bit.
Where are the templates for the personal template database stored?
In the user profile?
Is it possible to export templates for someone else to use?

Regards,
John

One can find the template database (in Windows 7) under
[b]C:Users\AppDataLocalWeisangFlexPro9.0Template.FPT[/b]

When using the Professional edition of FlexPro, it is much easier to use shared template databases to distribute one’s templates. The Online Help has further information on this topic under Data Management > Project Database (last section).

Hello,

thanks for the link. The problem has more to do with the templates disappearing each time the computer is re-booted. It seems the roamin profiles are installed in our company. In this case, this folder is deleted when the session to the user is ended. Seems to be part of the roaming function.

Is it possible to move the storage place for these files (also includes the UserProfile.fpup file) to another directory which is not user dependent or how do you otherwise deal with this effect?

Regards,
John

The personal profile and template files are always stored in the same place. There is no opportunity to change this path.
A possible workaround against the automitic deletion of user folders could be the use of auto macros. One may use the AutoExec and AutoExit macros ([i]Automating Processes > Automation Using FlexPro Visual Basic > Working with Macros > Auto-Macros[/i] in the Online help) to copy / retrieve the otherwise deleted files to / from safe areas.
