hi !!

 this is the first time i am using Project 2000, i am trying to develop a small
project which customizes the Project 2000, using Macros, (like automatically
populating other coulmns depending on the ones we've entered etc)
It would be of great help if someone could let me know or direct me to an
informative , site where i can get info reg how to write macros and how to map
them to the Project 2000 application. (also the different objects available in VB
for Project 2000 which can be used for this purpose)
 thanks in advance !

HI,

Make sure you have the VBA help file installed by pressing Alt-F11 to go to
the Visual Basic Editor and pressing F1.  If you don't, then re-install
Project and select all help options.

Download the Project 98 VBA manual from
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q186/0/77.ASP

It is very relevant for P2000 as well.
Sign up for Woody's Project watch (http://www.woodyswatch.com/project/)
which has a monthly VBA column (check the back issues) and TechRepublic
which has some as well I think.

I think you'd be better off asking a more specific question, so some-one can
tell you how project can do a simple task (or not...) :-)

But in general, if you want to get at project from VB, include a reference
to the "Microsoft Project 9 Object Library" in your VB app, and hook that
into a live copy of project using CreateObject. To be interactive, have a
Withevents reference to an MSProject.Application object, and put breakpoints
on BeforeTaskChange and BeforeTaskNew; you can do things from there like
applying your own naming conventions to whatever they try and call a new
task, and chuck extra data in project's "hidden" text fields...
