Split task, start date of second split

[Gunleif]

Is it possible to get the start date for the second part of a task that is
split in two otherwise than keeping the mouse pointerinside the Gantt bar? I
would like to add the second start date as a column in a table.

Gunlief,
Unfortunately Project does not provide split task start and stop dates
as available fields for a view. However, the information is available by
using a simple VBA macro. For example, the start date for the second
part of a split task can be put into spare task date field 1 with the
following code:

Sub Split_Part_Two()
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t Is Nothing Then
If t.SplitParts.Count > 1 Then
t.Date1 = t.SplitParts(2).Start
'clear out any "stray" info in Date1 field
Else
t.Date1 = "NA"
End If
End If
Next t
End Sub

Hope this helps.

Hello,
It's possible if the split has been calculated by Project while you used the
feature :
Tools / Tracking / Update project / Reschedule the remining work after...
(or something like that : I don't have the English version today)
Insert the "Resume" field in any table.(Start date of the second part)
NB : The Finish date of the first part is in the "Stop" field
