On Open

[DavidC]

Hi,

I have a desire (need?) to update the statusdate when my project opens. I
have the code to update the statusdate and that works fine. I also have a
msgbox in the code that prompts first to update the date and that works. The
code works fine when run from a button on the toolbar, but I would like it to
run on project open.

I have it in a proceedure "Private Sub Project_open (ByVal pj as Project)"

but that does not run when I open the project. I know this because the
msgbox does not pop up.

The project is a master/sub master arrangment, and it is the master project
I want to update at this stage. (I will progress it through to the sub
masters later).

Any thoughts will be most welcome.

Regards

DavidC

Hi,

Is the private sub stored in the ThisProject module of the file to be
opened?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes the routine is in a module in the master project
which is the one being opened not the sub projects.

Hi,

Your reply worries me.
It is not about "A" module
It has to be in THE "This Project" module.

Hi Jan,

And so it should worry you. My apologies, I should have read it more
closely and recognised that you were referring to writing the code
essentially into 'Thisproject' object and NOT into a module.

Now that I have woken up and considered your reply better, made the change,
it now works.


Thanks a heap

Hi David,

Glad to have been of help
And yes, "ThisProject" is an object not a module but it does look like,
sorry for the confusion.
