Command Line arguments for Project
I don't have an answer to your problem, but I have one vaguely like it.
First, I can't find any command line documentation in the Project 98 Help or in the
Microsoft web site Project section. Anyone have a clue where that can be located?
I am creating and InstallShield Installer that needs to launch an MS Project file
that installs VBA modules in the global template that interact with our COM
application.
When I send the Project executable path to the InstallShield shell function plus the
path to the file that I want to launch, I get the error message that I am missing
VBA32.dll
That DLL seems to be some mythological creature that doesn't exist on any of the
computers in the office, either Win95, Win98, or Win2000. I am running Windows 98.
There are some hints on the web that it exists in a VB Setup Kit that I don't have or
that it is a MS Office DLL. Is it so archaic that it has become almost extinct?
Has anyone else come up with this error trying to run MS Project 98 from the command
line -- missing VBA32.DLL?
Is there a (reputable) DLL endangered species menagerie somewhere where one can clone
this DLL? Or perhaps I can use the installer to LOAD another DLL that has the same
functionality and will somehow miraculously substitute itself for the unhappily
extinct one?
