Chapter 27: Advanced Programming in Project 2002

Overview

For the bulk of this book, you’ve been learning how to do things yourself in Microsoft Project. In Chapter 24, you began using the Macro Recorder to teach Project to complete specific tasks. It’s important to note that the Macro Recorder is teaching by example; programming is teaching by instruction. In this chapter, you will spend less time showing Project how to do it and more time telling Project how to do it.

Topics covered in this chapter include:

• Understanding Project’s object model

• Creating User Forms for more sophisticated interaction

• Storing project global information for use with macros

• Designing and managing Project applications

• Linking Project fields to cells in an Excel worksheet
