icon MS Project data access

I dont think MS Project is part of office, but this appears to be the place that most matches with my problem.

I want to write an application that can retrieve or insert data into MS Project. My application and MS Project must remain running simultaneously.

Any information would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi,
You can either use VBA from MSProject, or Office COM to communicate to a running instance of MSP.
Which do you want to do?
What functionality do you want?

Thank you for your reply.

We want to run some VB education simulations. Based on the decisions the students make in their fictious project, the resultant task progressions in our simulation will then insert the results into MS Project (we will have already created a project template so we will know where the information is supposed to go). This saves them from having to manually enter the data from the reports our simulation generates into MS Project.

We may also want to have the simulation "look" into MS Project and see if the student has performed tasks in MS Project the simulation asked them to perform.

So, highest priority is to enter information into MS Project from my externally running VB simulation.

The next priority wish list item is to have my simulation look at the data in the running instance of MS Project to see what the pupil has entered to determine further action by the VB simulation.
