Conditional IF

[Asaad Saleh]

Hi is there a programing way or any way that would do the following?
i want when i submit the date of the task to fill another field for example I've created a custom outline filed called "task starts" when i enter the date of the task i want to get in this field either next or this week according to the date of the task.
i don't know if you get it but it is something like the conditional if in the excel
thanks in advance.

Hello Asaad,

You can accomplish this using a project task event handler in VBA.

Essentially what you would do is write a piece of code that would test for
the condition you are looking for each time a task is changed. Care needs
to be taken with this approach. It can generate a lot of overhead or even
consume you system in an endless loop if not done correctly. Testing is
critical.

Rod Gill at MS Project Experts just published a new book with the title "VBA
Programming for Microsoft Office Project" that has a section of this topic. I
have a copy and would recommend it as a reference.
