A few absolute beginners questions about MS Project

[B. Chernick]

Once again I have been suddenly tossed into a project involving technology I
have no exposure to. I have to write a Dot Net 2.0 VB Winforms program that
will probably have to access Project data in some fashion (templates I
believe). I have installed MS Project 2003 on my machine.

My first step when I get home will undoubtedly be to rush to the library and
try to find a copy of Project for Dummies but for now, is there any sort of
an SDK that I need to download?

Any and all helpful suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks.

Hello B.Chernick,

See:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8c-8bca-4db9-8753-178c0d3099c5&DisplayLang=en

to download the Project 2003 SDK. This newsgroup is also a wonderful
resource

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

If you are going to be working with Project programmatically, the best book
is Rod Gill's Project VBA book. None of the other Project books cover the
subject in any depth. Here is more about the book.

Actually the entire project is going to VB/Dot Net 2.0. My understanding is
that I will have to write code to extract data from a Project 2003 'template'
(an access file so far as I know) and use it to populate SQL Server 2000
tables. The specs are still very fuzzy.
