C# and Application.FileSaveAs

[Brian Leach]

I'm trying to tell Project to "save as" from my C# program, and I almost
have it working, but not quite . . .

When I try it this way:

project.Application.FileSaveAs(
"c:\\test.mpp", // file name
PjFileFormat.pjMPP, // format
false, // backup
false, // ReadOnly
true, // TaskInformation
false, // Filtered
"", // Table
"", // UserID
"", // DB Password
"MSProject.mpp", // FormatID
"", // Map
"", // Password
"", // Write Reserve Password
false, // Clear Baseline
false, // Clear Actuals
false, // Clear ResourceRates
false); // Clear FixedCosts

Project complains that "the map with the specified name does not exist." If
I replace the empty string with null on the Map parameter, Project doesn't
complain, but it doesn't save the file either.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong (besides not using VBA)?

Or besides not using VB?!!

I thought there was a C# null parameter you could use? Try searching
msdn.microsoft.com for sample code to control Office applications.

I meant VB! I was looking at the title of your excellent book, which is
sitting on my desk

Yes, I think you're referring to Type.Missing, and MSDN has articles about
using Type.Missing. For example:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa192488(office.11).aspx

but that isn't working for me either . . .

I got it working by using the Type.Missing parameter on EVERY field except
name, format, and formatID. Apparently it was something else besides Map
that was causing the problem.

Thanks!

Anyone who calls my book excellent is obviously a scholar, a gentleman and a
great judge of whiskey (and truthful)!!!

Good luck.
