I'm trying to insert a new task into ( in between ) an existing list of
tasks.

This code:
activeproject.tasks.add("my new task")

Will always insert the task at the end of the list.

There is an additional parameter, [before], in the add method but I can't
find the documentation for the valid use of this parameter.

Is it possible to insert a task with VBA into the middle of an existing task
list?

Do I need an "absolute" row reference for the [before] parameter?  If so how
do I get the current row in the task list?

Thanks,

Well, if by 'current row' you mean the row that is actively selected then you
could do something like this:

ActiveProject.Tasks.Add Name:="The New Task", _
Before:=ActiveSelection.Tasks(1).ID

This will insert the new task on the row above the selected task. If the active
selection contains more than one task it will insert it before the first task
in the selection.

Brian,

That's exactly what I needed.

I'm still trying to find my way around Project's object model, thanks for
the help.
