MS Project Customization

[tooeyc]

We are specing a web based application that needs to interface with a
MS Project 2003 saved through ODBC to a SQL Server database. Is it
possible to manipulate a tasks start date in Project 2003 from a web
interface (.NET) and have all successor tasks start dates adjust? We
are looking for a solution that will allow us to instantiate a project
from our database and adjust a task while automatically adjusting the
dependant tasks and rewrite the results back to the database.

Thanks...

Hi,

That is what MS Project does, but you will have to open teh project by MS
project.

Hi,

Actually you can update the data in the SQL database, but the dates of the
successor tasks won't get re-calculated until the project is opened in MS
Project, which is what Jan meant to say I think! Be very careful how you
update the database, find read and digest VERY thoroughly the pjdb.htm file
installed in one of Project's program folders.
