PRJ: Can't Select OLE Object Using Visual Basic Macro Command

• Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
• Microsoft Project for Windows 95, versions 4.1, 4.1a
• Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
• Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In a macro in Microsoft Project, you cannot select a specific OLE object, such as the third object in your project, using a Visual Basic command.

CAUSE

You cannot select a specific OLE object using the Visual Basic macro language in Microsoft Project because the OLE object is not exposed in the object model in Microsoft Project. In a Visual Basic procedure in Microsoft Excel, you can select or activate a specific OLE object using the OLEObjects object or the OLEObjects method. For example, to select the third object on a worksheet, you can use the following command:

   ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(3)

MORE INFORMATION

To view the objects exposed by Microsoft Project, do the following:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents.

2. Select the Visual Basic Reference topic.

3. Under Programming Language Summary, select the Objects topic.
