Reference Materials for coding with VBA for MS Project

[Joe]

It’s been over 10 years since I last did some Visual Basic coding and at the
time Microsoft Access Coding (before Visual Basic was part of MS Access). So
I have former experience in coding, but don’t remember much. I would like to
play around with coding some modules in MS Project. Where is the best place
to begin? Are there any good books on this topic. I don’t want just a VB
book; I want something specific to using VBA with MS project. Any
suggestions?

Joe,
In my opinion, the best places to look are in the Project VBA help files
(that's where I learned 90% of what I profess to know) and on our MVP
website at: http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm.
At the bottom of the page look for a link to, "Project 98 Visual Basic
Environment Training Materials". Even though it says it is for Project
98, it is equally applicable to all current versions of Project. The
only difference is that later versions expand the Project object library
(and sometimes change or delete a method or two).

Your might also want to look at fellow MVP, Jack Dahlgren's website at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
Jack's site has several good examples of Project VBA code. Of course,
you can also ask specific questions on this newsgroup and one of us will
do our best to help you.

Hope this helps.
