Baseline through VBA

Question

Hi.

I need to set the Baseline Saved Date in a Project using VBA. The property BaselineSaved Date is read only and i can't edit. How to set that date using VBA??

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You cannot edit that value. it is saved automatically when the baseline is saved. Save the baseline and tthe BaselineSaved Date is updated automatically.

Hi Brian

I know that kind of restriction, but i did a new Baseline functionality because the  actual Baseline functionality doesn't work to the customer. The only missing is the Baseline Date to get it done the requirement. Is there any way to set the date?

Kind regards

Answer 3

As Brian said: you can't set the Baseline date using VBA. However, you could copy the Baseline to Baseline1 then back again. That should also set the date. Note that for a larger file with many Assignments, that will increase the file size by a chunk or two.

I would do what Rod said, save the baseline through the normal way in VBA, that will save the BaselineSaved date. Then go through and overwrite the baseline in your own method. That way you get the saveddate and your own data.

What does the customer not like about the way Project saves the baseline?
