C++ automation MS Project

I am trying to use the MS Project API inside my c++ mfc code. At the moment
I can use any property off the activeproject but when i retrieve any
collection from the activeproject I get an access denied issue.

I have searched the net for anyone who has experienced using MS Project
inside c++ code but cannot find anything. I did find a posting from someone
who is experiencing the same problem as me though but there was no reply.

Any direction on this one would be most hopeful.

Thanks Rod for your reply but we already use vb to do this. The reason why
we want to do this work in C++ is because our core product is written in this
language and so it will speed things up in our program.

It must be possible as I am so close to making it work. Its just these
collections that are causing the problem. Someone at microsoft must know the
answer :)

Mark, unless you are planning to do some massive number crunching with the
project data ~ such as Monte Carlo farm. I do not see you gaining any
advantage by using C++ for MS Project interop since by far the greatest
latency will be introduced by MS Project and it's COM object model anyway.

I've coded a couple of test frames in the past for areas where I thought
process times would be much improved by C++ but have yet to see any
significant performance gains.

C++ interop is also designed for those who like their pain in bright blue.

Would it be possible for you to send some of these test frames or did you
ever experience the same problem I am experiencing it and solve it?

Hey Rod, Mark,

I have to link our existing ERP-software (written in unmanaged C++) and
Project 2007.
Could you help me with this problem?

thanks
