change the status manager

[Alexandro]

I've been asked to find a way so that a project manager create a new
project, and in a custom field choose a person belonging to a
specified group (called task manager) who will receive the task
updates from the resources.
i know that the status manager is the person that receive the tasks
updates, but this field cannot be set by the project manager, unless
the member of the 'task manager' group open the project, and assign
himself as the status manager; in my situation members of task
manager
group do not have Project Professional, so i need to find other
way...
is there a way to populate the drop down list of the status nager with
the members of a group, or set the status manager, catching some
server side
events (like project published, publishing or something like that) or
by developing some macro or dll client side?


any help will be very appreciated
tanks in advance

Dear Alexandro,

It's so complicated for you to find solution like this way.
Install project pro for your task manager group members and train them to
use, and then it's very easy to change status manager in project pro.
This is the easier way than develop some programs, am I right?
