Invoking PDS with VBA within Project events.

[Sam Santiago]

I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. Is there a
function within the Project VBA object model that allows you to issue a PDS
request without having to install the SOAP client on each client PC?
Similar to the GetProjectServerSettings function, but more generic in
nature. I have a custom security setting that I would like to check
whenever a project is opened in the Open event. I want to issue this
request:

<Request>
<PermissionCheck>
<PermissionID>150</PermissionID>
</PermissionCheck>
</Request>

If not, I was thinking of creating an ASP that would issue the request on
the server side and simply return a 1 or 0. I was thinking of invoking IE
with VBA to request the page and read the response. Is this a feasible
approach?

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi,

What's the security setting? It should be possible to set each user up with
all the settings needed in Project Server. Anything you run on the client
will then be subject to that security.
