Referencing task information from an assignments object

[Gilgamesh]

I am looping through the assignments collector in each of my project
resources and when I get to a certain assignment I need to update
information in the Task that the assignment relates to.

I have noticed that the assignment object has a parent with a Tasks
collection that I would seem to be able to index through to set the detail.

For example :
Assign.Parent.Tasks(Assign.TaskID).Text1="Hi"
where Dim Assign as Assignment is the defiition would set Text1 in the task
to Hi and not the resource or assignment text.

My question is : Is it valid to index through the assignment parent tasks
using the TaskID field? This seems OK from what I have looked at but I was
thinking there may be circumstances where it is not valid.

I'm using MSP 2003 Pro

Thanks

Looks good, I fail to see any potential problem

So the tasks in Assign.Parent.Tasks will always be in taskid order?
I was concerned that if they were in any other order that the indexing would
be invalid.

Hi,

The parent property of the assignment returns the project so its .tasks
property will return the normal Tasks object, yes.

Try also:

Activeproject.Tasks(Assign.TaskID).Text1="Hi"
