Why can I send/receive some of my unregistered Paratext projects to a USB drive, but not others?

Question

Hi, I am trying to send/receive unregistered projects to a USB drive.

For one unregistered project XYZ, I can choose 'Send/receive this project' and do a send/receive to my USB drive. For another three unregistered projects, 'Send/receive this project' is grey. When I open 'Send/Receive Projects' and select USB drive, only XYZ project appears in the list, and not the other three. I cannot figure out what is different about these projects that prevents send/receive.

Any suggestions much appreciated! Thanks

There is a questionnaire that has to be completed before you can S/R. You'll find it when you look under Project Menu > Project Settings > User permissions.

If I'm correct, when you open that up there will be a popup with 4 check boxes. After you check those it should start working.

Thankyou mnjames, that's exactly it :)

So, even though a project is unregistered, you still need to use internet to access the registry to add users if you want to send/receive (unless you only use guest users)

If you are adding registered users to a project - this is done via the registry and requires access to the Internet for the administrator. If you are not connected to the Internet (and Internet use is disabled) you can add guest users. See help about Guest users.
