How Do I Cut/Paste all of my Filters I have written

[Kiwilink]

I am writing documentation on all of my filters I wrote in Project. Is there
a file I can go to that has each of my filters and the code I wrote for each
filter? The only way I can see how to do it now is open each one and cut and
paste. I have about 25 of them. I can't find a file that even lists all of
them so I can cut and paste the list into Word? Anyone know how? Thanks!

Hi Michael,

I don't know of a simple way of doing this. If it is worth it for 25
filters, you could seek a vba solution, Try posting on the
microsoft.public.project.server newsgroup (forum). Please see FAQ Item: 24.

The Organizer (Tools/Organizer) allows you to copy filters from the file
where they were created into any other open files or into the Global
template to make them available to all your files.

Miike:

Thanks for the reply. I'm still looking at files within Microsoft Project
to see if the scripts are somehow buried in a script file within Project.
Thanks you for taking the time to respond. I'm not well versed in VBA so not
sure I can choose that route.

You're welcome, Michael, perhaps you'll let us know how you get on

Kiwilink --

Why don't you do the following:

1. Click Project - Filtered For - More Filters.
2. Select one of your custom Filters and then click the Edit button.
3. Capture a screenshot of the Filter Definition dialog.
4. Insert the screenshot into your documentation.

That would save you a lot of time trying to type each custom Filter's
definition information. Just a thought. Hope this helps.
