VBA training for MS Project App

[Cheryl]

Can anyone suggest a training provider that teaches VBA for Project? I have
looked at Project Assistants in Wilmington but they don't have this on their
schedule.

Hi Cheryl,

I don't know about training providers but for a start you may want to
see the Project 98 Visual Basic Environment Training Materials. If you
go to:
http://project.mvps.org/links.htm

scroll down to the bottom of the page, the link allows you to download
the materials.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thanks Julie. I will look it over but really wanted some hands on training.

You're welcome Cheryl and thanks for the feedback.

Perhaps if you posted your location (what city/state) you are looking
for hands-on training in, someone else will weigh in with some
additional options.

Julie,
I am in North Alabama. But if I can find the training I would be willing to
travel.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Cheryl -

What I have found is if you get a book -- like VBA in a Nutshell along with
Mastering VBA -- which cover the VBA environment that is common in the
Microsoft Office Suite you will be fine. The approach is very much the same.
The only other piece you would need is the Project Object Model which is
available for download on the Microsoft project website. The training is the
same if you know basic VBA for Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. with the only
difference being the objects. So, you would be calling start, finish, etc.
Last but not least, take a look at the developers section of this discussion
group and use/practice with some of the code that is there. The MVP site is
always a good place to go as well.
