add-in/interface for MS project

[sanshri57]

HI. I want to develop an application for MS project. It will tak
activities and their duration from schedule and need some mor
information to put in for each activity (like resources) from othe
database and pull down menu option, then this application is required t
run some simple mathematical formula and at last it should displa
results in graphs for whole project duration, including which activit
is consuming that particular information most... Could anyone tell m
how to solve this in MS project.. how can i develop addin or interfac
application to integrate ms project, database, input requirement
results and graphs

Most of this can be accomplished with VBA. In Project ALT+F11. However, I
believe the database interface part of this will be beyond the capability of
VBA and would require a separate add-in created with Visual Studio (VB.NET,
C#.NET, etc).

You can probably get some additional insight by posting to our sister
newsgroup
microsoft.public.project.developer

That is where the developers hang out.
We can also help you there.

Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot for kickoff information. could you give me your
mailid/perma link so that i can discuss issue in detail.. I'll surely
join developer forum to get answer. Though it is subjective.. but any
idea how much time will it take to a novice person to develop new
inbuilt application/addin in VB.Net/C++ for MS project ?
