wbs: renumbring programatically

[bachirben]

hi all,

I am working on a project that synchronizes task lines from and to MSproject
to an ERP system that supports WBS, so we support moving ,deleting and adding
lines to MSproject , my problem is how to keep track of changes to wbs code
and in case of any changes to a given task line how can i renumber wbs
programatically , any help is very appreciated.

thanks

using msp project 2003 , c#

Hi,

You just need to write to the WBS field as if it were a text field. For
example I just executed;

activeproject.Tasks(1).WBS="2.1"

in the immediate window for VBA and the WBS for task 1 updated to 2.1 from
its original 1. This won't renumber any preceding or succeeding WBS numbers,
that needs to be programmatically done as well.
