The Import Project function allows you to copy into your system an entire project that has been exported from another system. During the export process, ECMap creates a projects.mdb file for the project being exported. Then, when the exported project is being imported, ECMap uses the information in this projects.mdb file (created during export) to update the master projects.mdb file for the importing system.
In addition to updating the projects.mdb file, the Import Project function also adds all of the map-related files for the exported project to the importing system. The exporting user must place all of the map-related files for the exported project in the same directory as the exported projects.mdb file. The importing user can then import all of the necessary files and tables from this directory during the Import Project function.
