Selecting a task with other tasks rolled up

[SigCool]

I want to select a task and I know its ID. But the task ID does not match
the row number if using the SelectTaskField method and if there are previous
tasks that are rolled up.

For example, task_id is 50, and I have rows 10-40 rolled up. But the
statement SelectTaskField row:=task_id, Column:="Name", rowrelative:=False
will select row ID 80.

How can I select the task I really want?

Hi,

1. By using OutlineShowAllTasks and Filterapply "All Tasks" before selecting
- In which case ID=position
2. By
Select all
for each anytask in activeselection.tasks
.... compare the selected task to the one you need counting the lines
