Microsoft's Project for Windows is the most widely used project scheduling software available in the world today. Rod Gill wrote the only book on Project VBA in the World and has talked at several Microst conferences and presentations in America and New Zealand.
Project is a great tool for managing the information for your projects. Data management and reporting is what makes Project VBA so useful and productive.
If there is anything Project can't quite do that you need, it is very likely that a little Project VBA will meet your needs. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much can be achieved in just a few days.
Reasons for Project VBA development
- You have a repetitive action such as printing the
same list of reports in the same format. Automate the printing to
save time.
- You need to enforce data accuracy standards so develop a macro to check data is accurate and values are entered in custom fields.
- You need to share data with other systems so a macro can read and write to databases, text files or other Office applications directly.
- You want a custom report in Excel so write a VBA macro to export data from one or more projects to an Excel report.
It's more of a question of "What do I want to do?" rather than
"What can I do?"
