How can we connect to Project Server

[Naveen Jain]

Hi all,

I want to create a macro in VB that automatically start Project Professional
2003
in hidden mode and connect to the Project Server 2003 without showing any
screen
to the user. I need to open project professioanl in hidden mode and connect
to the Project Server 2003
wihout any user interaction and without showing any screen to the user.


Is there any way to do this. How can i achieve this?

Thanks in Advance

You have to start Project using the shell command so you can login to
Project Server. Then use GetObject in Automation to connect to Project Pro
after which you can minimize Project. SO the user will see Project starting
and connecting to PS, but that's all.

For example: Shell /s http://<ServerName>/projectserver
starts project using Windows NT authentication. Note that the GetObject
command will fail until Project logs in to Project Server, so loop waiting
for success or 30 seconds have passed.
