Task Name Column - List Values

[Fabio Kozamekinas]

How can I create a List of predefined values in the Task Name Column like
Text1, Text2, Cust1, Cust2 ....
I need to create a combobox in this field with any predefined values.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

You can only cretae listboxes in a custom field, not in the name field.
Solutions may be:
- Create the listbox in a custom text field and copy the text field into the
name field;
- Or use a real combo box in VBA to populate the name field in a VBA
procedure.

Thanks for the answer, but .. how is the best way to copy the text field to
name field? Every time the user fill the text field the name field need to be
filled automatic.

Do you have a sample of How can I create a combobox field in VB and use this
in the MS Project, populating que name field?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I didn't day VB, I said VBA which is moe integrated with Project
In Project, go Alt+F11 to see trhe VB Editor

Yo have the toold to create a form with a combo box
I suppose the logic to populate it (.additem) is not different from VB
The form will have an OK button that hides the form

In a module you write a sub like this

Sub FillNameCol()

for each anytask in activeselection.tasks
if not anytask is nothing then
Mycomboform.show
'The code of he combobox takes over
'You re-enter here when the forms is hidden
anytask.name=mycomboform.mycombo.value
end if
next anytask

end sub



This should get you started.
