I have a problem regarding to programming with Project Server 2007.

how can we insert a subproject into a project programmatically?

The safest way is to open the master project in MS Project then insert the
sub-project using automation, then resave both projects. Note however you
may get reporting problems by having master projects saved in Project
Server. This was certainly true in 2003, I haven't tested for 2007 yet.

Hi Rod;

I know how to add the project as sub-project using the project UI.

I am talking about adding a project in another project as a sub-project by
using project web services

You can try PSI, but you need professional developers and download the
Project SDK. In VBA the simplest is to use Automation.

The fastest solution is using VBA against Project Professional, but be
careful about storing master projects in Project Server, you can cause
problems by duplicating resource assignments. PWA already allows you to
report across programs of projects, so why create Master projects at all?

Hi Rod;
I have read and searched the site but nothing found about the program
management in detail.

I have found some keywords like program center, commitments, but I can't
found anything about them in detail.

You are looking for Project Server.

Going back to your first question, to insert one project into another to
create a master project. Firstly why create a master project when project
server can report across programs of project? Secondly, you have two
options: use the PSI programming interface (you will need a professional
programmer to do this, ideally a C# programmer) or two use Office Automation
or VBA in a Project file.

This is a elevator company. We are assuming each elevator is a new projects.
But if you look globally each builng has more than one elevator. Also some
aggreements include more than oe builng. So this means there are 10,20
projects in an aggreement.

We want to handle this situation. Master project seems good for me but if
there is an alternative it would be nice.

So I interested in programs of project . But the thing I coulnd't clarified
is if it is a feature of project server or it is just a report that I should
prepare?

One thing I want to ask. What is the difference between the program and a
master project?

Thanks
