Auto Save as Web Page?

[mcuba]

Hello,
I'm really new to MS Project and would like to know if there is a way to
automatically do the 'save as web page' when I save updates to my .mpp file.
While it is only a few clicks to make it happen, it does requireme me (as far
as I can tell) to do this each time.

Mostly what I want to be able to do is provide an HTML view of our project
status for folks who neither need to nor care to do anything with MS Project
- they are only interested in looking at a web page to see our status.

I looked through the documentation but didn't see how to auto-update the
HTML. Is there a way to do this? If not, any other suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Mcuma,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Try recording a Macro and putting it on a toolbutton. For full details have
a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the TechTrax ezine, particularly
#16 - Macros, at this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc or this:

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the article before leaving the site,
Thanks.)

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Go to Tools, Macro, Record new Macro, and then with the macro recorder
running, complete the File-SaveAs function, with the required options.

In the future, to re-run the macro, use Tools, Macro, Macros (Alt F8)
to run the saved macro.

You can also assign shortcut keys / toolbar items if this is something
you do frequently.

Here is what I got, but you may have different preferences:

Sub Macro2()
' Macro Macro2
' Macro Recorded Thu 24/02/05 by Michael Murray.
FileSaveAs Name:="C:\My Documents\testproject.html",
FormatID:="MSProject.HTML", map:="Default task information"
End Sub


Hope that helps,
M.
