Filtering without using custom fields

B

Bill Buchanan

Hello,

I've come across an interesting problem that I have not been able to
figure out.

I need to display tasks that meet a certain criteria. I have a VBA
macro that performs a series of tests on a task and decides whether the
task should be displayed or not. The tests are too complicated to
calculate via a filter alone. The obvious solution is to write to a
custom field (e.g. flag20 = yes) and filter on flag20.

The problem is that some of the project files that this would run
inside are already using custom fields, and I cannot take the risk of
overwriting their data. Is there another way to do this without using
custom fields?

I'd appreciate any information anyone could provide.

Thank you.
