Add task with WBS code

[Sam]

Hi,

I have to add tasks in an existing project, using vba. I have the parent
WBS outline code for the task.
For example I have a new task call "task1". My WBS structure is:

1. taskx
1.1 aa
1.2 bb
2. tasky

task1's parent WBS code is "1". I want my code to add my new task at 1.3.
How could I do this? I tried:
atask.OutlineChildren.add(task1)

but that doesn't work, it adds my task at the end.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Find the id of tasky then (say YY)
activeproject.tasks.add before:=YY

I thought about this but I'm having trouble determining what is the element
following my parent.

For example if I add a subtask to 1.2, the next element could be "2", just
like in my example, but it also could be 1.3, or nothing (if it's the last
element).

I could probably check if 1.3 exists, then check if 2 exists, etc. But if
anyone has a better (simpler) idea, that'd be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Check the following tasks ina loop until .summary is true.

Hi,

And I forgot... stop thinkiing that WBS is something important thatr can
make you access tasks. Think in terms of ID, name, or UniqueID
And if you think this is too complicated, bad luck.
