Manipulating Calendars

[PG]

Is there documentation or sample code available for manipulating an
Enterprise Resource Calendar? As administrative projects really don't get us
to our goal relative to schedule impact as discussed on these groups, we want
to have each person maintain their own calendar with some kind of "approval".

I don't know of any document aside from the standard VBA documentation.

Resource calendar information is stored in the binary fields, so you can not
directly modify the table. What you have to do is open the Enterprise
resource pool, modify the resource's calendar, save the pool and close it.

We are currently developing an application that gives the resources the
ability to update their own calendar for different types of days (vacation,
training, etc). If you would like more information, you can find our
company's contact information at the web address below.

Thanks for the response. I will go back again to your website. What moron in
MS made caledar data binary data? (Sorry about the moron comment but so many
things about Project Server seem half baked.....the whole need for a
global.mpt is one!) A calendar should be a table in the data base!

I am certainly interested in another approach but since it sounds like it is
in the global.mpt then sharing and updating currently would be an issue. We
want to decentralize it where staff do their own updates via the web with
approvals and later posting. It sounds like one should add their own tables
to accomplish this and then modify the data at a later time.

You need to consider the products origins. Re-architecting a substantial
application is an "evolving" process.
