When you export a project, you create a copy of the projects.mdb database that contains all of the map and cross-reference information for the project. This includes the mproject, mtable, and mxref tables discussed in “Where data is stored”.
Since the Export Project function only creates the database and tables, you must place these tables together with all of the other map-related files for this project and make them available for importing.
For example, if you store all of the maps in the project in subdirectories under the main project directory, you can export the projects.mdb database into the main project directory, then compress the directory transfer it to another system.
Exporting a project
Choose File>Project>Export.
The Export Project Definition window displays.
Select the up arrow to browse for a Project to export.
The Select Project window displays.
Double-click the project you want to export.
Enter the full path of the directory where you want to export the project.
or
Select Browse to select a directory in the Select a Directory window.
Select Run to export the selected project.
You do not receive a message saying that the project definition has been successfully exported, but you can verify success by looking in the directory.
If you exported the project database into the main project directory, that directory is available for importing. If you exported the database into a different directory, you must put the tables and the project files together in one directory.
