Opening a project in project professional

[Fernando A. Gómez F.]

Hello all.

Say, I have a project in Project Server. How could I create a method to
display such project in Project Professional (in the client's machine)?

I'm totally clueless about this and don't even know how to Google.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Fernando.

I'm assuming you mean using VBA as this is a programming news group. In
Project Professional select Tools, Macro, Record new Macro
Select This project in the where to record option then OK
Open a project manually, then
Tools, Macro, Stop Recording

look at the recorded macro for your answer.

Well, I was thinking on C# (or even a script language such as VBScript)
more than VBA, since I'm trying to open it from outside Project
Professional. My apologies, I should have been clearer).

I did what you suggested though, and copied the result. I tried FileOpen
with the project's name parameter as "<>\MyProject.mpp", as the macro
suggested. Yet it throwed me an error: "Project is unable to open the
selected project. You selected a project saved to Project Server while
you are offline, or you selected an offline project that has been
deleted*. To open projects saved to Project Server, close and then
reopen Project. In the Project server Accounts dialog box, click the
correct account, and then click Connect to establish a connection with
the Project Server".

* I checked and I'm online and the project hasn't been deleted.

I'm stucked here, can't found anything related.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Fernando.

HI,

"<>\MyProject.mpp" should work provided Project Pro is online and the
project name exists in the db.

You can open this project manually OK in Project Pro?

Hi again.

Yes, I can. As well, the recorded macro is working as expected.

Thanks again.
