Gant view MS project 2002

[Todd]

Hello,

When I open my MS project file (which is the standard gant view) it appears
that my gant view window is set to some default time in the future. I always
have to scroll back to view the current date gridline. Is there a way to set
the default window to open on the current date?

Hi Todd,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

This is not uncommon, but it doesn't help to say that! Project is supposed
to open in the same state as it was last saved. The quickest work around is
to click the goto button on the Standard toolbar. However, if you want to
experiment further, we need to discover whether your project is at fault,
whether it is Project at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom
occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on
other PCs? Does it occur with other projects on other PCs?

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

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

There is more than one way to do it... here's my method. Edit your Global MPT
by pressing ALT+F11. In the left corner click the + next to Project Global
(Global.MPT) then + on Microsoft Project Object, then slect ThisProject
(Global.mpt).

A window will be available on the right side. Enter the following code:

Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
EditGoTo Date:=Now()
End Sub

This code will execute every time a file is opened and will move to Now()
which is a function that returns the current date/time stamp on your PC.
