 Changing a resource throughout a project

G'day,

I would like to write code (or do it without code if
possible) to change a resource to another resource.

Eg: Many tasks have the resource "FitABB", but I want them
to use another existing resource, "Fit". I want to
retain "FitABB" in the resource pool, but want any task
using "FitABB" to now use "Fit" instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'm
missing something simple!!

Thanks,

Dave.

Hi,

In project select a task or tasks with the FitAbb resource assigned.
press Alt+F10 to display the Assign Resource dialog.
Click Replace
Select the new Fit resource and click OK.

This will replace the first resource with the second. To do this in VBA, try
recording a macro of you replacing the resource and see what gets created.

Thanks Gents.

I actually thought of Edit Replace shortly after I posted
my message. However, Rod's suggestion is handy.

Thanks,

David Stumbles
