Detecting changes to tasks without using ProjectBeforeTaskChange

[Uval Blumenfeld]

Hi,
I'm trying to detect which tasks have been changed in a project.
ProjectBeforeTaskChange is insufficient because it isn't fired when a
dependency causes a task to slip. I have looked at the field "Update Needed"
on the task, but this value doesn't seem to change if I'm not connected to
project server... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance,
Uval

The most reliable way is to compare with a previous version of the same file.
The second most reliable is to save a baseline and then use either bar styles
or custom fields to determine which activities have varied from that
baseline. For this purpose you should use a spare baseline field (baseline10
or something like that) so it does not get confused with the "real" baseline.
