Custom project status form

[Steve Scott]

Is it possible to create a form in a Project2000 file that will load when the
file is opened and simply holds project level information - eg Project
manager name; Project status; Project commentary etc. I am aware that I
could probably use the Properties fields in File/Properties but I want to
create something abot more user friendly.

Steve,
I can think of a couple of options. Depending on how "pretty" you want
the information to be displayed, you could either use the MsgBox
Function (limited user presentation), or a UserForm (pretty much
unlimited user presentation). If you want this info to pop up whenever
the user opens the file, put the code into an Open Event procedure. You
can read more about how to do Event macros at fellow MVP, Jack
Dahlgren's website at: http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm

Hope this helps.
