Hi, Can anyone tell me about the advantages and disadvantages between "Microsoft Project 2002 Database" VS. "Microsoft Project 2002 OLE DB Provider". I want to update the information in project such as resource, start date and finish date. Which one would be better method? Thanx, Alan

Hi, The OLEDB provider is read only, so to update you must use the database. Digest THOROUGHLY the ProjDb.htm file installed in your program 1033 folder before trying to update a database. -- Visit www.mvps.org/project/ for the Project MVP's FAQ and third party add-ons Rod Gill Microsoft Project MVP Visit www.projectlearning.com for customized Project and Office VBA macros and Project companion software

Hi, I've read ProjDb.htm file but how I can connect to Project Database. I use Project 2002 standard edition. I think I cannot use the sql script to manipulate the database because we don't have sql server. If you have any suggestion, I'm really welcome.

What database format are you saving in? There are three basic options. SQL Server MSDE Access If you are using msde then you can run the scripts using isql as is noted in the setup documents. Access can be used as the front end to any of these databases and you can use it to run SQL statements. -- Please try to keep replies in this group. I do check e-mail, but only infrequently.

I use access 2002. You mean, first of all, I have to save project file as .mpd. And then use Access as front end to run the script. Do I understand correctly? I'm really new with Project.

Hello Allan You will use MS Access as back end for MS Project? so you have to create a new project and save this as a MS Access Database (Saveoptions) Then Project creates the tables you want. Now you can change values in tables.... You only have to use the scripts when you want to save the project files on a database server like sql server, msde or oracle. i hope you understand my bad english ;-) mfg Thomas

Yes, You need to save as .mpd or .mdb Then you can change values in the database being careful to update the flags which are used to control updates (you can find this information in the document called projdb.htm) you may still want to write some macros to manage some of the stuff for you. They would have the same function as the script. -- Please try to keep replies in this group. I do check e-mail, but only infrequently.

I've got no practice with macros in Access. Some of the folks in the access newsgroup are pretty helpful. The sample code in projdb.htm would be a good starting point. Maybe someone there can tell you how to write something which does the same thing. -- Please try to keep replies in this group. I do check e-mail, but only infrequently.
