Hi all,
Because I couldn't wait for an out-of-the-box "synchronise all templates" functionality in ORD, I have put together an mvba that crudely will synchronise all or just edited in-place Template Drops and Linear Templates. It seems to work quite well so far. Thought i'd share as it seems a shame to keep it to myself...
What it does:
MVBA Options:
In order to avoid the "Are you sure" dialog that shows when syncing a Template that has been edited, the mvba needs to locate where you put the SendKeys.exe app. The location (path inc. trailing "\") of send keys can be defined by adding a variable named "SENDKEYS_PATH" to your workspace / configuration (I have also defined other locations we use locally)
If the variable is not defined, the macro will still work, but it will pause with the dialog and wait for user input.
Happy to get some feedback if anyone finds any issues with it...
ORD_SyncAllTemplates_mvba_v2.2.zip
I wonder if I'm using this incorrectly but after loading the project in VBA project manager, no macro is being listed? Or does this only work in OR? I am using Geopak SS10
I believe this is a purely ORD tool.
Hi Dick,
Unfortunately only ORD at this stage, although it could be modified to work on the older OR SS4-10 versions with some minor changes. Although I'm not bothering with the legacy versions, I'll see if I can post a guide to changes required for you to update it if you know your way around VBA.

Hi Mark, thanks for the prompt response. I'm not very familiar with VBA at this point so I probably won't be able to do much with it but appreciate you letting me know!
Here's hoping that we'll get to OR eventually
