MPP File

[Kev]

I work with project from my office and home. I run project std 2007 at both.
When I try to email a file to my work I cant open it. I tried to email it to
myself and experience the same problem. When I have finished my project and
save it, it is always saved in Adobe reader format. Any help would be
appreciated.

That shouldn't be the case. I wonder if perhaps your computer is encrypting
it or something...?

I presume you don't have the same experience with Office documents?

Probably you just have wrong file extension association which opens Adobe
reader for *.mpp files?

 

[Jim Aksel]

As Denis suggests, I'd check the file association in Windows. Be sure *.mpp
points to MS Projectd instead of Adobe Reader.

If that is not the case, the only other place to look in Project is
Tools/Options/Save (tab) and check the file type there. However, that should
never show you pdf as an option.

Yes, these are possible and they do exist... Your question is?
If you wish to create such a macro yourself, you may want to repost to the
developer newsgroup. Here is some general guidence

Public Sub xxx()
Dim t As Task
Dim counter As Integer
counter = 0

For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If ((t.Milestone = True) And( t.Summary = False)) Then
counter = counter + 1
Next t
MsgBox (counter)
End Sub

This is off the top of my head, so please check the syntax, etc.
If you have external links in your file, add the test t.ExternalTask=False
