Hi all,
Due to the OpenRoads ITL limitations meaning that use of a single network ITL by multiple users was fraught with danger - ie. multiple users opening a single ITL at the same time and last save overwriting others changes, OR not rereading ITL after first open in a session, etc. we have put together this VBA macro that has worked successfully for us in a large multi-user OpenRoads project. I'm not sure if this is an issue in Inroads??
What it does:
- Opens a new blank ITL, closes it immediately and then opens the current template library ITL to "refresh" the ITL so any interim edits by others are loaded.
- Backs up ITL on opening to provide a previous version in case required
- Creates lock file that doesn't allow anyone else to open ITL when in use and notifies others on who is currently editing it.
We have incorporated this into our standard toolbar and use this icon instead of the tasks one. Seeing that ORD doesn't seem to have resolved this issue, I have attached the macro for anyone who may want to use it.
If anyone has any suggestions on some improvements or finds any issues, please let me know.
