Checking to see which view is current

[Peter Rooney]

I have some macros which remove filtering from either the Gantt view or the
Resource Usage view thus:

FilterApply "All Tasks"
FilterApply Name:="&All Resources"

However, I would like to check which view is current befor either is run, to
prevent display of an error message to say that I'm trying to apply a
nonexistent filter.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Pete

Hi Peter,

Loop through TaskViewList to see whether CurrentView is part of that list.

Pete,
Try using
ActiveProject.CurrentView

Hope this helps.
