Having a page bring up the tasks on hand for that particular week

[Paul S.]

I have several "Projects" linked to one main "Project". The intent was to use
this program to manage several various tasks that are in work. The problem is
that we are most often updating the tasks and timeline at our weekly meetings
'after the fact" instead of having MS Project lead the various tasks. Is
there a way for MS Project to grab the individual tasks for each week and to
post them (for viewing OR to another sheet) for the current week? Does this
require having a macro to keep track of the day of the week?

Paul,
I know of no way to update (i.e. status) a project other than "after the
fact". Unless you have a crystal ball there is simply no way to update
until you know what happened.

However, to answer you question, did you look at the various built-in
Reports (View/Reports)? There are several that show, or can be modified
to show, near term upcoming tasks. It does not require VBA although if
none of the built-in reports (or simple filtered views) give what you
want, VBA certainly is another option.

Hope this helps.
