In Microsoft Project, when you use the
OrganizerMoveItem method in a macro to copy an item in the
Organizer dialog box to a project, a dialog box appears asking if you want to replace the existing item if an item with the same name exists in the project file you are copying to.
If an item with the same name exists in the project you are copying the
item to, you are prompted to either replace the existing item, cancel the
copy, or rename the item you are copying. The
OrganizerMoveItem method does not have an argument that you can use to indicate that you want to replace an existing item with the same name.

Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
To avoid receiving this confirmation dialog box when you copy items from
one project to another, use the
Alerts method with the
Show argument value equal to
False in your macro before the
OrganizerMoveItem command. When you use the
Alerts False command in a macro, no dialog boxes appear while the macro is running, and the default button in any dialog box that would appear is chosen.
For example, the following macro copies the Gantt Chart in Project1 to
GLOBAL.MPT without displaying a dialog box asking if you want to replace
the Gantt Chart in GLOBAL.MPT:
Sub Move_View
Alerts False
OrganizerMoveItem Type:=0, FileName:="Project1", _
ToFilename:="GLOBAL.MPT", Name:="Gantt Chart"
End Sub
Because the default button in the dialog box that appears asking if you want to replace the Gantt Chart in GLOBAL.MPT is
Yes, the macro replaces the Gantt Chart in GLOBAL.MPT with the Gantt Chart in Project1.
Note that when you use the
OrganizerDeleteItem method in a macro to delete an item in the
Organizer dialog box, a dialog box does not appear asking if you want to delete the item.
