Auto Publish Multiple Projects in a Single Batch

[Shawn Everingham]

Can/or does anyone have a solution or know of a solution in which you can
publish multiple projects in a single batch?

a PM in our organization is managing about 20-30 projects at any given time.
They are quick projects that last about 1 month in duration and thusly this
PM has a lot of projects ongoing all the time.

This PM does not want to have to open up and publish 30 projects every
Monday to ensure that all her project's represented in Project Workspaces
have been refreshed and updated with all the Task Updates.

Can this be done? (I'm very certain the answer is Yes)
Can anyone provide a solution as to how?
thanks in advance.

Shawn --

The only way to automate this is to do custom software development, such as
writing a macro in VBA. Because of that, you may want to repost your
question in the microsoft.public.project.developer newsgroup and solicit the
advice of our developer community. Hope this helps.

Hi Shawn,

technically you have several options, either a VBA script within MS Project
or custome dev a little solution using the PSI (Project Server Interface).

From a business point of view, i would not recomment the automated update,
since a PM should at least have a look at the changes that a task update
creates. Otherwise there is no governance within your project.
Hope this helps
