I want to get data from a hidden column in Project98. The column is a text
field (eg Text14).

I don't want to have the column displayed, but could handle having it there
temporarily to copy the data and then hide again.

I can work out how to hide a column in code, but I can't seem to make a
column appear (ie make it visible).

How can I either copy from a hidden column or make a column appear via VBA
code???

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,

David Stumbles

MsgBox "Contents of Text14 for the first task of the active project: " &
ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Text14

To see how to insert or delete a column, record a macro (Tools, Macro,
Record New Macro) of you inserting and deleting a column then stop recording
and look at the code in the VBE.

First there is no need whatsoever to unhide tghe clumn; task.text14 will
always give you teh content whether the column is visble or not.

But if you do want to manipulater columns, read teh help on the tableedit
method
