Want to copy copy a Method to another project

I know I can't copy Method to another project because there's a Method with the same name. I wonder if I could overwrite this Method.(There's no overwrite option, why?)

    Hi, MarcNoble!
    I have already read this article. Sadly, it's not helpful to me. My situation is that I have many projects in Empower and I am trying to change the Report Method for each project. The Report Methods have same name. Can I change one of them, copy it  and overwrite the others? Or I have to change them one by one?

    Save the report method with a silly name such as Report Method COPY or something like that. Then copy that method over to all the projects you require. Or delete them all except one. Change that last one and copy that back into the projects you need.

    OK, it will work! Thank you all for your help.
    And it would be great if Waters came up with a better solution to change methods easily.

    When a project has Full Audit Trail activated, then any record of a method- instrument, method set, processing method, report method etc will be retained in that project, even if you copy the same named method from another project. The only way around it is to rename the original method and then copy it as Empower wont recognise the name in the project with full audit trail.
