Project and modified task

[Ravi Kodali]

I am trying to integrate a MSP plan with an external application using VBA. I
need to know when a task is modified, so that I can transfer only those
particular tasks information to the external application.

Is there a flag that is set when a task is edited?

No there isn't. However you can use the task change event to add a date/time
stamp in Date1 and use that.

Thanks Rod, My application uses LotusScript (VB like) to create a MSP OLE
object. How can I use the change event of the task in a project. Should we
have a custom template of Project with code in change event and people should
create project from the template?

Thanks,
Ravi

I doubt lotusscript will "see" the event. A custom template with the code
would work. Be careful though, change events may fire multiple times if
several tasks get re-calculated dates and sometimes there are actions that
don't fire change events, but I can't remember which and these may change
between versions. I just remember that change events have not been the most
reliable of beasts!
