Use this dialog box to create a new control account by copying an existing one.
To create a new control account, you must modify the entry in at least one field in the
Copy To group box.
The names of the control account fields depend on the labels that you specified when you created the project in the New Project wizard. For example, if you specified
WBS as the label for
Control Account Field 1 in the New Project wizard, then the field name displayed on the Copy Control Account dialog box is
WBS. You can also modify the control account field names on the Fields Tab of the Project Properties dialog box.
