Launching MS Project Pro 2007 From Web application

[stephan clerc]

Is there a way to launch MS Project 2007 from Web Site using GUID of a
project or some other informations from a project (something really similar
to the ActiveX control of Project Center page in Project Web Access 2007) ?
- Is there a feature ready-to-use in PSI ?
- Should we use File Handler /or COM, and How ?

Goal is to open a project in MS Project Pro 2007 from a link in a web page
(without using directly the activeX control of PWA).

Thanks.

Hello,

There is no PSI that will launch Project client and load a project plan.

Hi,

This is how I would start and stop Project Professional logged into Project
Server using Excel VBA:

Sub StartProject()
Dim projApp As MSProject.Application
On Error Resume Next
Shell "winproj.exe /s http://projectdemo/sample/"
Do Until Not (projApp Is Nothing)
DoEvents
Set projApp = GetObject(, "MSProject.Application")
Loop
Debug.Print projApp.Name
Debug.Print projApp.Profiles.ActiveProfile.ConnectionState
projApp.Quit
Set projApp = Nothing
End Sub

You will need Project installed on the web server of course. If you are not
using NT authentication then you need to add login and password parameters
to the Shell command
